I too went to high school with Brandon and was in band with him as well. We also played in Philadelphia together our Sophormore summer. He was a great trumpet player. He will be missed by all that knew him. Brandon was a funny, caring individual. What a loss. God Bless.

Kirby as we called him at SWOSU was a fun guy, a guy's guy, and most importantly, a believer in Jesus Christ as his own personal Lord and Savior.

I also remember Brandon from High School and the band. I played the trumpet for concert band and always envied(actually admired!)those high notes he could hit!

The most special thing I remember about Brandon was his smile and his ability to make us laugh. My sympathy goes out to all of his family and friends, know I will keep you all in my prayers. God Bless

Brandon and I had much in common, in that we both played trumpet in the marching band, both worked at Golden Corral, both drove VW Bugs, and shared a great time together overall. When reflecting on these moments, I realize that we all have suffered a great loss. My thoughts go out to those that Brandon has had an impact on. He will be missed.

I was lucky enough to know Brandon in high school-we were in marching band together. I remember mostly that amazing smile of his and how it could light up a room. He touched so many lives and will be so deeply missed by everyone who was lucky enough to cross his path. My deepest condolences to his family.

Brandon loved to work with children and I can only imagine what a great father he was to his son. I knew Brandon and Anne as a couple and it's difficult to imagine her without him.

Brandon was such an encouraging person to be around. Our daughters loved him when he worked at Camp Buckner. He was intsrumental in encouraging their relationship with Christ. Later, he came to Star Ranch where he was such a blessing and a joy to work with.

Our prayers are with his family.
