Donna and family,
I know this is such a tough time for all of you. I lost my brother in-law at the age of 21 in a sudden car accident just a little more than a year ago. I cannot say I know how you feel or what you are going through. I do know your heart is broken. With time it will surely heal.
I did not know Brandon personally, by my sister Courtney and Quinton spoken of him in the most honest terms do endearment. My heart and praises go out to your whole family.
Quinton and Courtney, if you need anything please know I am hear for you.

Brandon, you were a great man. you made so many people smile just smiling back at them. you will be missed and never forgotten. your friends and family will survive this knowing you are safe in heaven no longer hurting. you can help them by laying a hand on their shoulders and helping them through this. you were loved by so many and still are. you were like a brother to me and my oldest son enjoyed your presence. god needed his son back in heaven because brandon did what god had planned for him. at this moment nobody may know what that plan was or why this happened but i hope comfort is brought to you knowing that brandon is back at gods side. they both will be waiting for your return to his heavenly kingdom. brandon we love you and always will.

Donna & Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I cannot even express to you how much Brandon meant to me. He was one of my best friends shortly after I met him 6 years ago. He was always smiling and always lit up the room the moment he walked in. I'll never forget all the times we had together and all the long nights spent talking and sharing stories. He'll be in my heart forever. He'll always be my one and only giraffee. I love you big B.

Brandon had such an amazing smile and personality that could light up anyone's day. God put him on this Earth to change peoples lives and watch over his friends and siblings. Now he's a beautiful angel that can watch over all of us from above. I can still remember all the stories Quentin would tell me about his adventures and memories with Brandon. His face would light up with every word and he had such an amazing amount of love for his big brother. Our hearts still hurt from this awful loss but Brandon is always with us. We'll always remember all the good times with him and the memories he gave us. Rest in Peace big brother, I hope heaven is beautiful and we'll never stop praying for you.

Brandon I only met you a couple of times,and upon those meetings you were a sweet boy, there was something about the eyes, because they are the window to the soul.I knew you were a child of god.I could see this without a question. May the next life be of glory and peace.I will pray for your family because they loved you so much and your leaving this world is going to leave a great void in their lives.God is in control of everything in our life.The lord gives us life and he takes it away. God may give us the gift of sharing time with one of his ANGELS because they can change our lives and Brandon you will change many.
