Brandt Child was and is a man of honesty, integrity, and hard work. He was able to solve any problem, particularly where it relates to construction and working with his hands.
His integrity has been passed down to his sons, daughters, nieces, nephews and many others. He was known for his smile, laugh, good nature, sense of humor, sincerity, religion, and spirituality.
He worked with his two brothers in Child Brothers Construction in the 1950's and 1960's. All three of them were like powerful, strong pillars that held up their well-respected construction company. Now, all three are in the next world producing fine structures and discussing their strong legacies.
Although we felt sad at his sudden passing, we were happy because of what his life was like.

Having known Brandt from childhood (mine, not his) in Centerville, I remember him as a very caring, sharing, loving person.
The last time I saw him, he was on a backhoe across the street from the 1st ward chapel in Centerville and I was around 18. That was 35 years ago. He made sure to let me know he cared about me and asked how I was doing. He knew at the time I was not making right choices.
I have remembered him as I have traveled through life, wondering how he was doing. He had a very positive effect on my life.
I remember the family and recently met one of his sons while in a service station in Centerville on my way back to Montana. I could tell he was one of Brandt's, as his demeanor, his smile, his friendliness was as if it were Brandt standing there.
My love and condolences go out to the family.
He will surely be missed. I look forward to seeing him again someday.
