Shannon, I don't have the wisdom to say the words that are in my heart. All that I can do is to tell you and yours that after the grief subsides, even a little, Brandon has left you comfort in the form of all the happy memories that you created together. Each laugh, each get-together, each telephone conversation, and each hug will create a tiny bit of warmth and a little hint of a smile to balance the tear in your eye. My sincere sympathies.

Oh Megan I am so very sorry. I will always treasure the memory of us all hanging out at the hotel having a few beers when you guys came to the hockey tournament in Michigan. It was special before, even more special now. My love and prayers are with you all and if you need anything, I'm but a phone call away.

I am grateful to have met and worked along side Brandon. He was one of nicest guys you would ever meet. Getting to know him while we waited on customers will always stick in my mind. His love for his family and the pride he had for them, you could hear in his voice when he spoke about them. That is something I will never forget. He was hard working and we knew things would be alright when we left him in charge. There are no other words to write that would comfort you, but know he will always be a great memory in my life for he touched me like one of my own children.
RIP Brandon!

Brandon loved his family more than anything. He often spoke about his wife and kids in conversation, and all of the vacations and sporting events they would attend. A great guy, husband, and father.
