Dammel family- I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Brandon was an amazing person and always put a smile on my face. He was an excellent bike rider and will be impossible to replace. Growing up with Brandon, we shared so many memories; memories that I will keep with me for the rest of life. I pray that your family will stay strong and remember Brandon for being the funny, creative, and great guy he truly was.

MacKenzie, Kelsie and family,
I in no way can comprehend what it must be like to no longer have your brother in your life. I am lost for words. I lost my great grandma a few years ago and I understand what you are going through. Just remember to always keep him in your heart. It may hurt at first but in the time to come, the memories will fill the hole in your hearts.
