Brandon never said anything wrong to anyone. He always had a smile, and i will never forget that. He always had a joke to tell, and he never did anything wrong. We will miss him. He was a good friend to all of us. I am deeply sorry for the families loss, and i want them to know that everyone who knew him loved him, will always miss him. He is gone but never forgotten.

Brandon was on our little league team a couple years ago. I was one of the coaches. The first day, he came right up to me and introduced himself. He played left field many times, and I would always say "Brandon you need to run in and back up the play at 3rd", and he did --- every single time from that point on. He came ready to work at every practice, and you could tell he loved being there. We had a losing season that year (1-19) but I never saw anything but a smile on his...

I just want to say how sorry I am about your loss! My daughter goes to rainier and knew brandon, all of the kids have really been affected by this and the candlelight vigil was a great way for all of the kids to come together to remember the great times they all had with Brandon!

It was my pleasure and honor to have Brandon in my math class. Brandon loved everyone and everyone loved Brandon. His infectious smiles warmed everyone along with his kind deeds, such as always giving paper and pencils to those students without. We have lost a wonderful individual, but The Good Lord has gained another Angel. Our prayers are with you, especially Brandon's Big Sister. God Bless

I knew Brandon ever since he moved to Auburn.We both had the same class in 5th grade.We were good friends and always got along.I didn't have any classes with him in 6th and 7th grade.But i would always see him in my P.E class. When i would come by my friend Dakota's house he would come outside too.We would skate down the hill by your house or pass the football back and forth. He told me about the presidents concert.He must of had a great time. Well, I'm really sorry about what happened to...

I was fortunate to have Brandon in my class a few years ago at Point Defiance Elementary School. He was a kind, caring, energetic first grader who had many friends. I have some very special memories of Brandon. I am deeply sorry for your loss.
