Brandon Szarmach Obituary

Szarmach, Brandon H. Age 22, of Chicago Heights, passed away Friday morning, October 25, 2013. He is survived by his fiance/life partner, Otilio Puente and his furry babies, Kayla, Mia and Tiberius. His dream was to move out to the county with his horses and start a German Shepherd Rescue Shelter. Hopefully now that he's passed, he's watching over all the dogs that were never fortunate enough to find a forever home. Services have already been held. If you would like to make a memorial in his name, please send it to the South Suburban Humane Society, 1103 W. End Ave, Chicago Heights, IL 60411. His fiance and friends will remember him forever.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
