Brannstrom family,
I am soo sorry. Marcus was my first friend in Bakersfield.I can still remember going to Tae Kwon Do together. Marcus had such a kind heart and was always around especially when I had my tumor. Marcus was the only one to visit me and I will never forget that.Such a great son you had.
Love,
John Lawson

Dear Eva, I was shocked to hear of Marcus's death. I remember the 1st week you moved to the neighborhood. I used to be delighted to hear Marcus speak. From one mom to another that lost a son at the same age, I truly know how you feel. Marcus will always have a soft place in my heart. Linda Hazen......Steven's mom

Brannstrom Family, I am so sorry for what has happened. I'll always remember the street hockey games down the street, riding motorcycles out at the shop and so many more good times spent with Marcus. It's hard to understand why something like this would happen but everything does happen for a reason. We'll all be thinking of you.

I am so sorry for your loss and you are in my thoughts every day.
I can't really believe that you are gone forever, and it will take a while before I can understand this. You were much too young to leave us. I will always miss you.

Himlen är oskyldigt blå

som tårarna gör
det rår inte stjärnorna för
ett sista farväl,

Marcus, vi blev så ledsna när mamma och pappa berättade att du hade dött. Vi kan inte riktigt förstå att du är borta för alltid och att vi inte kommer att få träffa dig i USA. Vi kommer att sakna dig och alltid att minnas dig som vår store kusin i USA.
Sov gott Marcus, vi ses i himlen!
Dina kusiner Niklas och Patrik
Marcus, we were so sad when mom and dad said you had died. We can't really understand that you are gone forever and that we won't get to meet you in USA. We will miss you and always remember you as our big cousin from USA.
Sweet dreams Marcus, we'll see you in heaven.

Dear Brannstrom Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Marcus's beautiful smile when he would come through the front doors of the hockey center. He always took the time to greet me with a "Hi" and a warm smile. I enjoyed watching him play all the years at the hockey center. He and my son, John, played on the same team several times through the years. John called from Iraq yesterday and I told him about Marcus. He said to please send his condolences to you and to tell you he always enjoyed playing with and against Marcus. Please know you are in our prayers. Sincerely, Patty, Ron, John and Roni Wade

Har fortfarande inte förstått att du e borta från mig Marcus. Du var mer än min kusin, du var och kommer alltid vara min store bror jag aldrig fick. Önskar att jag kunde vara där och ta ett farväl till dig men jag lovar att vi kommer ses igen. Älskar dig.
Din kusin Cristoffer
I still just don't get it that you are gone from me Marcus. You were more then a cousin for me, you were and will always be the big brother I never got. Wish I could be there to say a last goodbye but I promise you this, that we will meet again. Love you
Your cousin Christoffer

Marcus is a great friend and teammate. We had played hockey together since we were 11. He demostrated admirable sportmanship on an off the ice as a trusted friend. He was never afraid to share his personal feelings with anyone. He is missed, but I know that we will meet again. We live to die in this world so we can live eternaly in the next.
