im sorry about the loss my two good friends are dating and there name is brandon grimm and jessica west in baltimore ohio. im sorry for ur loss

February 2, 2010

To the Grimm family and Jessica West,
I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss of what seemed to be such a wonderful person on this earth. I had a best friend that passed away a couple years back and i miss him dearly, but you know they say that there not just stars in the sky at night, its our loved ones shinning down on us and letting know that they are alright. My thought and prayers will always be with you and i know that he had to leave you on earth without much notice but i promise, he will be there to meet you in the end.....
I stumbled across your picture today
I could barely breath
The moment stopped me cold,
Grabbed me like a thief.
I dialed your number, but you wouldn't be there
I knew the whole time, but it's still not fair
I just wanted to hear your voice,
I just needed to hear your voice.

What do I do with all I need to say
So much I wanna tell you everyday
Oh it breaks my heart,
I cry these tears in the dark
I write these letters to you,
But they get lost in the blue,
'Cause there's no address in the stars.
Now I'm drivin'
Through the pitch black dark
I'm screaming at the sky
Oh cause it hurts so bad
Everybody tells me
Oh all I need is time
Then the mornin' rolls in
And it hits me again
And that aint nothin' but a lie.
Without you here with me,
I don't know what to do.
I'd give anything
Just to talk to you
Oh it breaks my heart,
Oh it breaks my heart,
But all I can do
Is write these letters to you,
But there's no address in the stars....

I was deeply saddened to hear about Brandon's passing. Brandon was in one of my classes in the very first year I taught at GHS. Together with some of his classmates, he tested me dearly - and looking back, I loved every minute of it :). He was a remarkable young man with a bright future. He liked to tease and have fun, but he was incredibly bright as well. And he knew how to tweak a new teacher to the nth degree :). He taught me more about being a teacher than any time in the classroom, and I am grateful for every minute I had him in my classroom. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

January 22, 2010

We are so very grieved to learn of Brandon's death. He was most special, and the complete image of his Dad Lyle.
Brandon had fun in Vermont and I will always keep those times in a special place in my heart.

Matt and I send our deepest sympathy to you all, including Brandon's loving grandparents Carol and Tom McLaughlin, their daughter, Sissy and son Tommy.

Although we do not know you directly, we also live in Gloucester and regrettably share the experience of losing a 19 year old son in a car accident just 17 short months ago. There are no words to express how sorry we are that any parent have to go through the grief that losing a precious child brings. Know that we pray for God to comfort all of your family (and your son's friends) and that time offer you the opportunity to cope with your son's untimely passing. It helped us to remember to take one day at a time; sometimes even one hour at a time is an accomplishment. God bless and keep you in His care.

Brandon and I attended school together at A.T.I in Virginia Beach. All I could do, when I heard of his passing, is look over at his empty chair and think about the laughter and joy he brought to everyone. I loved his quick wit, and his very distinctive voice when he spoke. He will be missed.

Jessica West

Brandon, you are the most amazing person I have ever had the pleasure of spending all of my time with. You were there for me when no one else was and you were the only person I could talk to and tell everything to. Peyton misses you like crazy and so do I. I have no idea how im going to live without you. You are my world and you will til the day I die, mean everything to me. I cant wait til I see you again someday. I know you wouldnt be happy with the chaos thats going on down here and how people are acting. But I know even though you're not here to protect me physically, you will look after me from above. I love you, and I promise I will go see your dad more for you <3

January 20, 2010

I knew Brandon during his high school years while being raised and supported by his father and step mother. Please keep them in your prayers as well. Rest in best Brandon. You are loved.

There is no grief in this world like losing a child and only another bereaved parent knows the depth of your pain. I taught Brandon at KQES, so I know the world has lost a wonderful young man. Don’t take it one day at a time, but one breath at a time. Each day find some way to honor the memory of the wonderful young man we knew and loved.

I missed you when we moved and lost touch and I'll surely miss you since I'll never have the chance to catch up and talk about old times with you again. I loved you like a brother when we were all spending our time together then, and I've thought about you often since. You're in Great hands up there with God now watching over us. I feel blessed knowing you're my Guardian Angel. Miss you brother.
