Brandon M. Barton

Thanks Brandon for sharing your life, love and laughter with us for almost 22 yeas. The early years were filled with baby steps, skinned knees and crockadile tears Then before we could turn around we had a young man with so much strength and courage it was unbelievable. We have been so proud of you through all these changes in your life. We have so many wonderful memories like little precious gems tucked away in our hearts. They are so special to us and we will never forget them. I...

Words cannot express the emptiness I feel now that my cousin is gone. I have mixed emotions. One minute I'm glad that he's in a better place. He's better off than we are. One minute I'm sad & crying saying, "he had so much more life to live", but for those of us who knew him, know he lived every bit of his life to the fullest! And one minute I'm in shock, in a bit of denial, like they got it wrong. He didn't die. He's just out with his friends. He'll be back later. But even when I'm trying to...

There are not enough words in the world to describe the way Brandon made me feel, and although we may of had our bumps along the way he always knew how to make me smile. Brandon was more than a friend to me. He was my best friend! I could confide my deepest darkest secrets to him and not think twice. He was a man of Simplicity, Courage, Strength and to whom many looked up to. I will miss Brandon, but for only a little while because I know I will see him again one day. But until that day comes...

Scotty and I always considered Scooter as "one of our kids." We have countless memories of all of the great times we had with him at the tack/feed store. I know all of his buddies will miss him deeply. God sure gave us a great cowboy! We love you Scooter.

I want to second what my mother, Karla, said in her post about Brandon and his memorial service. I knew brandon had friends, but I NEVER IMAGINED the amount that poured into the service to pay their respects. It was amazing to be at the front of the chapel and look back and see all the people who loved him. God gave him a very special heart and he touched so many with it. My life and my family will never be same without brandon, but we know he is in heaven having the time of his life. I can...

I have often told everyone "I wish you could know my nephew Brandon, he is a one of a kind, a special angel here on earth" and then at his service I came to the realazation, everyone DID know Brandon. For someone of such a young 21 years to have so many people pay their respects to him, and from the things everyone said about him it was evident that he was a true friend, the same with everyone. They all described him exactly the same. If we could all be that kind of genuine friend with...

I've known Brandon since he was about 5 years old. I don't think I ever saw him without a smile. Brandon used to rake my leaves every year. The first year he raked it took him all day. I had been gone and when I returned he was just finishing. I asked him how much I owed him and he said $60.00. I told him I thought that might be a little too much and he said, "Well you should have asked before I did the job. It might have been cheaper". I think his grandfather Carl taught him about economics....
