Oh Brandon, what a bright light you were and continue to be...because the truth is that you are more alive than we are! And I believe your presence will still be felt by your family at just the right moments. Your service was wonderful. Your family is so incredibly special. And while they grieve for you, I know that together they are strong. Surrounded now by the bliss of heaven, Brandon, you are completely whole and fulfilled. We love you, we miss you, and we look forward to the day that we see you again.

B. Mahle was fifteen when he enrolled in my World History class. We spent three years together at JDHS, and then I was lucky enough to see the man, the husband, the father and the coach that he had grown into years later. Much of my life as an educator is spent hoping that I am helping young people grow into our communuty - with B. Mahle and Tiffany I know that Juneau has reaped the benefits. My family and I are thankful to have known him. Juneau is better as well.

I was so shocked to hear from my son after coming home from school that coach Mahle has passed away. He was a wonderful coach. Always respectful, yet pushing them to be better. There aren't words to express the great loss the students and the whole community are feeling. Our prayers...

Dear Tiffany and family,
You and the girls have been in my thoughts continuously since hearing of Brandon's very sudden passing. All our hearts are full for you. I'm so glad I was able to meet Brandon, and to get to know him a bit—what a generous and outstanding person he was! I hope that eventually you will find comfort in the happy memories and love that you shared. Know that we care about you and Makenzie and Zoe, and are here (far away though that is) should you need us for anything at all.
With our love,
Veronica and Ken

My deepest condolences to Brandon's family. He worked for us one summer for a while digging out our foundation to put insulation in. He came as part of the football team but stayed on after the team moved on. He was a great worker, always talkative and friendly and would be so dirty everyday when I gave him a ride home. But he seemed to thoroughly enjoy helping us out. I've thought of him often over the years and am sad to see his passing so young. My heart is with his family at this very difficult time.

Love & prayers for the Mahle family! This family and this community has truly suffered a great loss. Brandon was a great kid and even a better man. We need more men like him. Knowing his love for God and for others I am confident we will see him again. When Brandon was young, we taught him in Sunday School, he was ALWAYS interested and involved. Again, love & prayers for all during this time!

Do not stand
at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds
that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight
on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the
morning's hush
I am the soft uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star that
shines at night. Words I really do believe! We never really lose a loved one if we keep them in our heart with warm thoughts of love and memories! Love you Brandon! Auntie Lynda
