My prayers are with his family

So sorry to hear of Chris's death I will always have Fond memories and laughs of our days at Fordham Prep . May his family know that he touch my heart and we always be remembered

Our condoneses to the entire Brande family. Although we never met Chris personally, we have heard many great things about Chris and all of his accomplishments through his very proud mom Joan our neighbor. Reading Chris life journey has inspired us to live life to the fullest and enjoy life for every blessing we receive each day. We know that heaven has another angel protecting the Brande family, especially his mom Joan our dear friend. May God continue to give you all strength at this time...

Chris was my closest friend in elementary school, PS 56, in the Bronx. He had apparently been the youngest in his class before I met him. When I, a year his junior, was moved mid-semester a year ahead into his class, and was now *by far* the youngest in the class, he took me under his wing, and befriended me, possibly because he knew what I was going through youngest-wise, and certainly because he was a real "mentsh". We were together only in 3rd grade and 5th grade, but I have many fond...

Although I had no contact with Chris since he was 10 years old in my 5th grade class at P.S. 56, Bronx I remember him well. He was one of my outstanding students--a quick learner, eager, cooperative , with a passion for baseball. He told me that he wanted to be a sportscaster one day. It is gratifying to know that his adult life was filled with many accomplishments,
wonderful people and incredible experiences.
I am deeply saddened by his passing and wish to express my heartfelt...

I had not seen Chris since 2004 but the photograph captures my last memories of him. He was a mega fan of MLB and a great collector of memorabilia. Mostly I remember he had adopted a cat and spoke about him often.
I know he was a loyal friend and a person that would help others. My sympathies to the Brande family and his partner.

to a fellow athlete and my cousin may god keep you as you now have a place in my heart always. My mother loved you very much and my family will miss you.

My deepest sympathy to Mrs. Brande, Kim and all of his family. I met Chris at Westpac Banking in the late 1980's when we worked together in the auditing dept. He somehow convinced me to type his papers to get him through school. You will always have a special place in my heart. Donna
