Brennan Kanani Capellas: 1977 – 2025

Brennan Kanani Capellas of Casper, Wyoming — born November 18, 1977 — passed away January 3, 2025 at the age of 47.

Brennan was born to a loving mother, Terry Capellas in Hilo, Hawaii. Brennan grew up in a paradise he often spoke highly of. He spent his younger years surfing and fishing and admiring the ocean waves kiss the shore. At a young age, Brennan learned a skill that would prove to be what he was notorious for and that was entertaining people with singing and ukulele playing. 

Brennan moved to Wyoming in 2004 and graced our lovely state with a morsel of his Hawaiian outlook. He always had a smile, always had a hug or a high five, he also loved to tell a good “dad” joke. Shortly after his move to Casper he linked up with several local musicians and started the band Seeds N Stems which later would turn to Eazy Side and were well known, well loved, and had an amazing following for the better part of 20 years! I’m sure we will all remember him starting local shows with, “What’s up Casper Town!”

Brennan Kanani Capellas is survived by his wife, Brittany Capellas; his children: Keoni, Devyn, Daisy, Sailor, Kai, Kaleo, Baily, Bella, Lucille, Max; his mother, Terry Capellas-Larson; his brother, Micah Larson (Jaclyn); his grandmother, Susan Maluo-Devera; and his Grand Aunt, Carol Kekola; as well as many friends, loved ones, and fans. 

The last three years of Brennan’s life, he found a love for Jesus and started attending Calvary Baptist Church. His services will be held at 1800 South Conwell St, Saturday January 11, 2025 at 2 p.m.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that you please consider donating to Max”s Relief Fund to help with Max’s continued health expenses. 

Until we meet again, keep in mind we will never see a rainbow if we are looking down. Much love and respect.
