May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I came across your TikTok page with your story about 3-4 hours ago. I watched the entire thing and eventually found myself on your podcast. I cried. I don´t understand your pain but it´s a pain no mother wants to go through. I hugged at my 8&9 year old daughters a little harder today. I´m very sorry for your heartache but so proud of the lives Brandon is saving through you. I´m not too religious a person but I pray when prayers are needed. Your family, your, Robert and Codi will forever be in my prayers. Suicide needs to be addressed ans awareness needs to be bigger. We need our children to live out the lives they creates mentally. We need them to survive. Sending all of our love your way.

I've missed you every second you've been gone buddy. I love you.

Please accept my sincerest condolences. My son, Owen, had P.E. with Brandon and loved to play basketball with him. Owen was a new kid from IL this fall and Brandon was the first student at DRHS to welcome him. He considered Brandon a friend and very good human being. I am sorry from the bottom of my heart and Owen really misses his friend. We plan to attend the services. Your family is in my heart and I pray for all of you daily for comfort and peace.

I love you buddy. I miss you so much.

So, so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you.
