Brandon graduated from Del Oro High School in 1995. After working for his dad helping run a landscape business, his exceptional talents led him elsewhere. Brandon had an incredible ability to build or fix anything which led him to start a successful handyman business. He was adored and valued so much by his clients. Brandon's heart, however, was in being an artist. Brandon's tremendous talent moved him to become a tattoo artist with a business that kept him very busy. Brandon's greatest joys were his 3 beautiful children. He was so proud to be their dad and loved spending time together. Brandon had a deep love for quadding at Sand Mountain with friends, snowboarding every chance he got, mastering his incredible art and enjoying time with friends and family. You will be missed so much but never forgotten. We love you, Brandon Eugene Elrod, and you will live in our hearts forever.
