A close friend

April 29, 2013

I have never worked with a person who was so full of life. Who grabbed life by the horns and just took advantage of every thing that came his way. Brandon had a contagious smile, that made it hard to not be happy in his presence. I will never forget you Brandon. You're something special, and I'll never forget every memory we shared. You're more than just a friend, now you're an angel to many people. My heart, and my thoughts go out to your family. To Joey Chad Karen and Jim, my deepest condolences go out to you guys. If you need anything let me know. Love you and miss you Brandon.

April 28, 2013

Karen, I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your son Brandon. I remember you sharing some humerous and not so humerous stories in the communications center about some of lifes challenges in the lives of parents raising three boys. It's always tough to see a cherished member of the family taken away so early in their life but I'm certain with the strong faith that your family shared, it will serve all of you well as you face this life trauma. You were always one of the more pleasant people on the job. I offer my deepest sympathy during this trying time.

April 10, 2013

Brandon will be missed by all those he touched. Our prayers are with the family,

Karen, Jim, Chad and Joey...Words cannot begin to express how devastated I am to hear about Brandon, I remember Karen telling stories about all of her boys in dispatch and the joy they brought to her and Jim. I know he is in Heaven telling her mother about all of the things that Karen would not let him do (smile!). Karen, my thoughts, love and prayers are with all of you. I am sending a special hug for you my trainer, mentor and friend! I am there with you in spirit supporting you, praying for you. Just remember God will never leave you nor forsake you. I love you all.

We know that not only are you loving parents to your own children but that you love so many other children as well. That's what makes it so frightening to us because of our love for children.

My friendship with Brandon began at Schlitterbahn.. I was a lead & he was a lifeguard & finally he was promoted as a lead too. We got to know each other very well during the days spent there. He never failed to make me laugh. During the time spent together we realized that our parents worked together & that my mom had made his birthday & graduation cakes. The memories that I made with him feel like they were just yesterday, but time does fly.. I can still picture him standing at the legends waiting for me in his khaki cargo shorts. I can remember all the begging & pleading I had to do for him to come into the high school & meet my parents before going to the movie (We watched dispicable me).. He wore his jeans & beanie hat & then we got to ride in his sweet black car.
The friendship & memories in & out of work are something I will never forget.

His family is in my prayers!

Searching for words to express our deepest sorrow for your loss. Sending up prayers for you and your family. Brandon will be truly missed and I'm sure that everyone that knew him, will reflect on the many good memories they have of him. Ours would have to be the Thursday evening pot lucks after football practice on game weeks. He seemed to brighten the room with that boyish grin he had. He always, always stopped to visit when we ran into him even after high school. A fine young man. We pray that you find peace and comfort knowing he was so loved by so many. May God bless you during this very difficult time. I leave you with this verse from the book of John; "Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going." John 14:1 - 4
