Brandon Macek Obituary
Born on Aug. 22, 1988, he was the son of Steve and Betsy (Scheffer) Macek.
In 2006, he graduated from Goffstown High School. In addition, he attended Plymouth State University and NHTI.
During his life, Brandon enjoyed all sports, participating in Goffstown Parks and Recreation basketball, varsity basketball at Goffstown High School, Goffstown Junior Baseball, Goffstown Babe Ruth Baseball, and Goffstown American Legion Baseball. Most recently, Brandon played basketball in the Manchester Baller's Association for team Sweezey where he developed the nickname "the big reliable." At 6' 7" he was a dominant force on the basketball court.
Brandon was an accomplished guitar player too. All self-taught, he brought us so much joy with his many "mini concerts," and we will forever cherish the many videos of him pouring out his talents in song.
Some of Brandon's most special places and times were spent in Cape Cod vacationing with his friends and family, where he loved boating, fishing, clamming, crabbing, and relaxing on the beach. Brandon also enjoyed golfing, kayaking, hiking, and being outdoors.
Brandon was most recently employed at Temescal Wellness as production manager. He was respected by his colleagues and known for his strong work ethic.
One of Brandon's passions was growing and caring for his many plants at work and at home.
Family members include his parents, Steve and Betsy (Scheffer) Macek of Goffstown; his brother, Justin Macek of Newport Beach, Calif.; his grandfather, Roger Scheffer; and aunts, uncles and cousins.
Brandon was predeceased by his grandmother, Caryl Scheffer; and his grandparents, Ron and Joyce Macek.
Brandon was a shining light to so many and he will be forever missed. Described by those that knew him as a genuine personality, and a salt of the earth guy, who would always be there for others, Brandon brought a smile to all who were fortunate to have known him. He had such a wonderfully dry sense of humor that could catch you off guard, but he always enjoyed a good laugh.

Steve, Betsy and Justin,
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we write this note to you. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers as we mourn the loss of Brandon. Although the years have passed since all the gatherings with the Tauscher's and MacDonald's, and baseball is but a memory, please know Joann and I think back to all the wonderful memories we have of Brandon when he and Craig would be together both on and off the field.
On a more personal note, I want to thank you for allowing me to coach him all those years, as I am a better person for having had all those years to spend with him - as you know he was one of my favorite people.
As with the loss of Cliff and Nick, Brandon will forever live on through all our memories, as he was a truly unique individual with many talents that etched his place in our hearts.
He will forever be missed, but will ALWAYS be in our hearts and thoughts!!!
All our love,
Dave and Joann
