To Brandon's family
I am sorry for the loss of Brandon. While I haven't spoken to him in over 15 years we spent a lot of time together at Susquehanna U. We came in as freshman football players together, living in Smith Hall and the warehouse together and then becoming fraternity brothers. We went thru a lot together durning those years, took a lot of business classes together. Brandon was always a guy that had ur back and he was who u wanted in your corner. One of the most unique minds I have ever met. I hope he is at peace and I pray you heal one day.

His levity and spirit was an amazing addition to the Phish community and helped many in their own struggles. I'll miss his humor, empathy, and love for music - though I will never forget it. Love and light.

An intelligent mind, a kind heart, an incredible story teller with a penchant for humor, and a true friend to all who knew him and especially when in need. These are the ways I'll remember Brandon Miller because they are truly who he was. My deepest condolences to his family. We're all going to miss him.

Brandon never met me - but he was the first to friend me on our site and never judged me for my unpopular views there - he was full of wisdom and sarcastic wit.

Here was a guy of the most rare breed. One that saw the world through a lense (or maybe you could say without one).
He spoke with the tongue of a righteous poet, but thought with the mind of an Astro Physicist. Whether satirical or transparent his insights were deep and meaningful. He had a unique ability to make you laugh and challenge your thoughts at the same time.
Thank you for the laughs and for the pleasure of knowing you.

I am saddened to learn of Brandon's passing, he was a friend that I met through the Phish music community and bonded with right away. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Brandon was a great and caring person, and the times we got to hang out at concerts was a highlight to each time we got to catch up in person and share time together.
You will always be in my heart and thoughts.
Rest in Peace and shower us with the love you had shown our small music community.

I'll miss my cousin. The last time I saw Brandon, we took turns buying rounds of beer and laughing at how it had been 15 years since we last saw each other. And that is what good family is. No matter the time apart, you remember your time together and I will always remember my time with Brandon.

I am in awe. Brandon will not be easily forgotten. He definitely left an impression on all he came in contact with. (At times an impression that earned him a smack!! LOL) Nevertheless, hearing this news hurts my heart.
He worked under me at FORTA/ (The Fiber Depot) during his 'inside sales' days. So we had a lot of time spent together. Time not forgotten. He will be missed.
Please accept my sincere condolences during this difficult time. You and your family are in my thoughts. <3 <3 <3

I remember the delightful and outrageously fun little boy, my nephew,who became a bright handsome man. What fun we had last summer at our house,so curious like that little guy about everything, plants, food (pickles)and bees..So on to that other dimension you talked about...save a place for the rest of us.

I was blessed to work with Brandon for a while at Forta. I was and am so very sad to find out he passed away. He would come to my office to chat sometimes. He had been friends with my son and some of his friends in school He was funny, sweet and kind. One year for Christmas he stopped in with a tin of teas for no reason at all. When I got up this morning I saw a little box of tea still on my counter. It happens to be the one my oldest granddaughter liked. I still have the tin and attached a picture of it. I hope it is not inappropriate. It touched my heart that he thought of me. I just want to let his family know he touched my life and I will never forget. May God bless you with comfort and peace and wrap his arms of love around you.

Brandon B Miller My Friend, My Brother You will be missed by so many of us who got left behind You were a witness to our lives. Not many of those left. Theres one less person on this earth who knows our name, or remembers our childhood. Who shared in each moment as it passed.You know, They say that we all die twice, Once when our breath leaves our body, and once when the last person we know says our name. And then, Brandon's life will be forgotten, like all the other poor souls who had the glory of living. The world is a lesser place without you in itI Love You My Brother.
