It has been 1 year since God decided to take you to him. We still don't understand. He was just doing his job. Maybe that is why?? We will know one day. I still see the pain in your mama's eyes and it breaks my heart. I know you are there in many small instances and flickers of light. You will always be a joy and light in a lot of peoples hearts. We will never let that light flicker away. Keep that smile on your face, Brandon.........

Brandon was one of my first friends when I met him back in seventh grade. He was that guy with the crazy hair that everyone just absolutely adored & loved. Myself and others have nothing but good things to say about you. Brandon was there for us all, with the biggest heart and the most affection to give. I can only hope be spoken of the way we speak of you when it's my time. You're an absolute inspiration to us, and have us living better in honor of you everyday. You have consistently been there for me throughout the years, with the best advice and most care. I will never forget you and forever miss you. Heaven just got more heavenly and I can't wait to meet again for one of those perfect hugs you give. Thoughts & prayers to Brandon's family and PJ, everyday. I love you Brandon.

I met brandon a couple years back working at red lobster. He would make every shift that much more fun, just by showing up. He would always burst out into random song or raps, and that smile wouldn't leave his face, ever. I'm so thankful I had the chance to work with him, and to know him. He was such an amazing friend. He was at work with me when I cut open both my hands and talked to me the entire time until my mom picked me up to go and get stitches. If it weren't for him I would have been in a complete panic. Not a day goes by you don't pass through my mind. I'll never forget you b-noll<3 thank you for all the ways you have touched my life. I cannot wait to see you again some day! :)

Celtic Blessing
May the roads rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
