Debi--This is Kathy, Judy Cabral's sister.I remember seeing you in the doctor's office when we were both expecting, you for Brandon and me for Brett. I lost my oldest son three years ago in September in an auto accident. I am sorry you and Kip have to travel this road as parents. I can only offer my prayers to you both. I understand the pain you are going through and if you ever need anyone to talk to, please don't hesitate to contact me. Reading the entries from others, Brandon was a much loved young man with a heart of gold. I'm sorry I never got to know him. Please accept my condolences and know you and your family are in my prayers.

Theres so many memories that i have of Brandon it very dificult to just pick one. Im a friend of Mike and got to know the family through him, thats how i had the pleasure of meeting Brandon "B" my nickname for him.
Brandon worked construction with me for 2 years off and on,my time with brandon even at work went by as if we were " well havin fun". He was a hard worker but brought joy to the whole job sight.
We were at Saqoia school demoing some rooms, i told Brandon that we had to demo this whole wall- framing-sheetrock everything... I thought i made it clear just to demo this side of the wall, next thing i knew he went in the next room and screamed " Here i come Bobby Baby" and slammed through the whole wall, a perfect imprent of alllll of brandon and a smile from ear to ear.
That was Brandon in a nut shell, and i loved every minute spending time with him.
I miss you Brandon you are a huge part of my life and always will be...

Having known Brandon since elementary school at Columbia, and throughout high school at Foothill, I am saddened to hear of his passing. It never fails to put a smile on my face reminiscing about the time Brandon brought me his mom's wedding ring, not once, but twice in 1st grade. Rest in peace Brandon, and may your family find comfort knowing that they forever have an angel watching over them.
