Brandon Holler Obituary

Brandon Robert Holler, 19, of Phoenix was tragically killed by a drunk driver on memorial day. He was born in Concord New Hampshire and moved to the west in 1990. He had a passion for life and a strong love for Jesus Christ. He wasn't afraid to make a stand for what was right and cared deeply for others. Brandon seemed to always have a smile on his face and truly set an example of how to live a Christian life. He went to Pure Heart Christian Fellowship and was very active there. He loved children and was going to school to become a teacher. He worked at an after school program for Alhambra school district and was also a lifeguard for the city. He loved to play and watch sports and also was very artistic. We will remember his friendship, his kindness, his laughter, and his love for family and friends. Although we will miss him tremendously we also rejoice in the fact that he is finally home with our Lord. His Mom, Dad, brother and sister along with family and friends from near and far will always hold him near in their hearts. A memorial service will be held on Firday, May 30th at 10 AM at Pure Heart Christian Fellowship 17855 N. Black Canyon Hwy.

Brandon, we will miss you so much. Thank you for being such a good and loyal friend to my sister Marie. My family and I consider you the little brother we never had. We admire and were always encouraged by the passion you had for serving the Lord and living a life pleasing to HIM. I know you are with Him now, and The Ardaya's can't wait to see you again. We love you and your family.

We grieve for the loss of our nephew Brandon or Gunther as he was known to us (long story).

May the Lord grant Tim and Jan the peace that passes all understanding.

May He also bless them for raising Brandon to grow to love life, but more importantly to love and live for God, so that those of us left behind that know the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior have the assurance that we will see him again in heaven someday.

We love you Tim and Jan and pray for you every day that the Lord will give you everything you need to get through this time.

We wonder why someone so young has to be taken, but only God knows the lives that are being changed by this !!! May the Lord bless each of them, and bless every life that was touched by Brandon.

Jan & Marvin:



I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words that I could possibly express to ease your sorrow. Athough, I do think Brandon is with the Lord and he is at peace.



I used to work with Marvin at Chubb Life America. I only met your son a few times when he was very little.



May god bless all of you.
