I remember going sledding with him when we were young, and playing with him. You guys were like a second family to me and it was devastating when I herd what happened. It brought back so many memories, and I will forever miss him and his smile.
April 22, 2016
Kelley & Mark, We are so saddened by your heart-breaking loss. We remember Brandon when he was a little boy in our neighborhood. He was looked up to by the younger kids like my son, who went to PMEAs this year playing the Baritone Sax. Logan always saw Brandon's PMEA picture up in the band room. I can't imagine how painful losing your son must be, but please know that your friends are here for you; not just today at the Christian mass, but tomorrow, next week, next month, next year and always. May God bless and keep you, as Brandon's soul moves on to the Country of The Great King. Much Love, Sarah, Scott, Logan & Helen Krushinski

To the Cugini Family,
Our hearts, as well as our son's heart, are heavy with sadness at the passing of your beloved son/brother, Brandon. Although we did not know Brandon or your family, our son, Jim Stillwagon was Brandon's Band Director in the Pine Richland School District. Jim told us that Brandon was a very nice boy with exceptional talent at playing the Baritone. Jim will truly miss Brandon, but will forever keep great memories of him in his heart.
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
May GOD give you strength and peace in coping with your loss, as he also holds Brandon close to him
and takes care of him until once again you are reunited. May you have peace knowing that Brandon will live on in your hearts forever with the happy memories you have of him.
Rest in Peace Brandon.
With Sincere Sympathy,
Natalie and Jim Stillwagon ( Parents of PIne Richland Band Director,

On the breeze hear his voice. In the sun feel his warmth. Look to the stars for the twinkle of his eyes. Imagine him dance upon the clouds. Dreams of him will come to you. Memories will be carried upon the air, never to be forgotten. Never dwell on questions that cannot be answered in this world. Wait until you see him again and your spirits will dance with joy. The lord has opened the gates for him and welcomed him with love. Now allow God to hold your hands along with his, to comfort you all and bless you with his love.

I worked with Carol years ago, and our two sons (Christopher and Benjamin) often played with Anthony and Carter. My heart weeps for your loss and the sorrow you are feeling. How blessed you both were to be Brandon's parents, to be able to feel his hugs and hear his laughter. The memories you shared and the love you hold in your heart for your son will always be yours even death cannot take those away from you. May God shower you with peace, may He give you strength in the days to come, and may you feel His loving arms embracing you and your family during this time. Kimberly H.
