Brandon Collier Obituary

Brandon Michael Collier

Brandon Michael Collier was born November 15th, 1985 in Fort Campbell, KY to Angela (Cooper) Fletcher and Harvey Collier. Brandon graduated from Harrison High School and Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN. Brandon was a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity. He was the first son and grandson, a big brother, an uncle and a partner.

Brandon loved his family, the ocean, the mountains and had a passion for cars, technology and DIY projects. He saw any challenge as an opportunity to learn, excel and eventually overcome. He was a momma's boy in every sense of the word. He and his momma would talk almost daily. They usually would have to end the call because Amanda or Nick were waiting their turn.

We lost Brandon in a car accident on December 6, 2020. We will forever mourn his passing with our broken hearts. We will live by preserving and honoring all of his wonderful memories for our remaining days.

Brandon is survived by his mother, Angela (Nick) Fletcher of Prospect, KY; Father, Harvey (Rocky) Collier of Rockville, IN; G. O. A. T. sister, Amanda (Andrew) Biernetzky of Goshen, KY; nephew Jameson Charles Biernetzky; niece Birdie June Biernetzky; step-brothers Joshua (Violet) Fletcher of Elkhart, IN; Ryan Fletcher of Lafayette, IN; and Brandon's partner, Todd Lyon of Naples, FL.

I have recently learned of Brandon’s passing and I am so saddened by the loss. We met through a mutual friend and attended several social gatherings together. His lust for life was unmistakeable and I know his family will miss him dearly,
