Brandon was a wonderful neighbor. He was always full of love, laughter and joy for and with Ruth, their son, and his God son Rahmel. He was a hard working man and showed concern and love for everyone he met and knew. He was a wonderful person. He always had a smile on his face. We will always remember him. God bless you Ruth with your memories of Brandon, loving and standing by his side. God bless you Rahmel as you keep him in your memory. Baby boy, God bless you as you grow up with his memory by your side with your Mom Ruth. The family of Brandon, may God bless you with your memory of a great man.

God sent Brandon in my life for reason we have Rashad and Jasmin. In the 13 years I have known him he has always been the same funny loud mouth always joking. Right now I can not understand why god took him away so soon, but I know it was his time. I will always remind my kids of the type person he was and how much he loved them..He will always be in my heart 4ever....

My heart is extremely heavy right now. Brandon was like a brother to me. I can remember him cooking for my baby shower, graduation party and the numerous cookouts he was forced to be on the grill thanks to Sheda. Thank you for all the great memories. You are gone but never will be forgotten. Love you bro!!!
