Not sure what to say?

I LOVED my Dad. He did a good job raising us. I miss him so much and I am thankful for him. We had so much fun with him, he made us laugh all the time and he listened to us when we needed him to hear us. He was a great Dad.

I want to send my love to Jessica and Jamie let them know I'll be thinking about them tomorrow and the days to come. I know your dad was proud of you all and loved you very much!

Our sincere condolences to the Brandon family in the loss of your dear love one. Our prayers are as yours, that God provide his care and comfort you each day.
- Psalms 145:18,19

My dear John Brandon - how many hours and how many days has we spent doing Texas. I wish I could be there for his funeral. He was a very special friend. I am praying for his family.

John was a funny and sweet spirit. Blessings to his family.

John and I graduated high school together, went on to WT, where we were both in ROTC. I can't remember how I found out, but we were stationed at the same base in Vietnam. I looked him up and we had a good visit with someone from back home. We also worked at the TEXAS production at the same time in Palo Duro Canyon. So sorry to hear of his passing! Rest in peace, old friend.

We enjoyed the times we had together and respected his obvious love for god and country.

Rest in Peace John.

I enjoyed the friendship I had with John after he started coming to my Sunday School class at Trinity Baptist Church this past year. God heals all wounds.
