Brandon Rondel

First time I ever, in a sense, met Brandon, was one summer day in the early ‘90s, around 12 years old. We stumbled onto his fam’s property adjacent to Grass Lawn. We stood in marvel at the tree house, went to climb up to it, and suddenly felt a bite in the rear area. Brandon was a sharp shooter with that pellet gun. We became friends in junior that fall. He was my best friend for many years. Many years when we weren’t welcome into other cliques or invited to parties we had a great time...

I just thought of looking up Brandon, it has been many years since we spoke. I'm sorry we were not able to ever meet as I have a son that is coincidentally named Brandon. But I'm sure that we would have had some fun times together & now the opportunity has been missed. Rest in peace & blessings to your family.

To all family and friends of Bub,
He never ceased to leave me in awe day after day. I'll never meet anyone like Bubby again and will honor his spirit everyday. You'll continue to go Full Metal Face Mad Belzeker in my Heart Bubby.

Rondel Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Brandon. I remember him from our Faith Lutheran days. Know that you are lifted up in pray at this time. He was a wonderful classmate. One specific memory I have of him is when the chicken pox swept through first grade and all of us were scabby for weeks. I remember he and I had it at the same time. God Bless you

Bubby was such a special person, he was always genuine and always working on something with such excited passion. He was a true original, a great person and a great friend. To say he will be missed is an understatement.

A friend brought me your sons obituary because Brandon's interests reminded her of my son Brad. He sounds like a wonderful son who faced many challenges resulting from his previous accident. Sadly, I can say that I do understand what you are going through and I am so sorry that you are having to experience such pain. Tomorrow will be 10 weeks since Brad fell to his death.It still feels like I will wake up from this dream. I don't know what else to say to you other than I am praying for your...

Steve, Diana, Jennie, Courtney:
No words seem adequate enough to express the sorrow we feel for the loss of your son. We hope that all of the wonderful memories you have of Brandon will bring you some comfort in this very difficult time. Our hearts and prayers go out to you.

Dear Rondel Family,
Our family was so saddened to hear of Brandon's passing. Although we haven't had much contact since the elementary years when our son Daniel was in school with Brandon at Faith Lutheran we wanted you to know we are lifting you all up in prayer during this most difficult time. It sounds as if Brandon grew to be an extradinary young man and had been an inspiration to so many as he worked to overcome his injuries from his accident. We know he is now is in the presence...

I can't say enough for how fortunate I am for knowing Bubby and your family for so many years. The best years of my life were with Bub growing up, and I will never forget the countless moments we shared. I know that he was loved and treasured beyond words by all who knew him. His determination & generosity was unchallenged by anyone I've known. He will always live on in my heart as an inspiration and a best friend.
