Bran,
Monday will be a year since you left this place. You have'nt been forgotten nor will you ever be. I think about you often especially when I am feeling low...I love you & you are thought of everyday of my life...

Happy Birthday Brandon! I still have your "memory" on my desk wall at work. We miss you here, but atleast you are spending your birthday in the best place to spend it.
Miss you!

Brandon, I know we grieve for our own selfish reasons, but I don't think you realized what all you had to live for. Look at all this love that was there for you. I know from first hand experience that sometimes it's not enough.And that the lonely dark tunnel just keeps calling your name. Because you can't see the light at the end of it. I will always have you in my heart & on my mind. I wish I could of done more for you, hugged you longer, let you cry on my shoulder longer. But I know, you know that you were very loved. And sometimes love just isn't enough. But I know you are watching over each & everyone of us..You have given me my strength at my weakest moments. And its not a long trip alone, because we are never alone. I love you & you will NEVER be forgotten ever...Love always, Georgie

Brandon
Happy B-day! Yes I am a day late, but you are not forgotten. We all miss you and wish we could wake up from this dream. Peace me with you.

Uncle Bud

happy birthday brandon.

only the good die young and you were one of the best on this earth. peace be with you and keep smiling until we meet again.

love, bobby

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little--but not too long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me--but let me go.

For this is a journey that we all must take And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss Me--But Let me Go!

Happy Birthday my grandson, peace be with your, and as the ole navy man would say "Smooth winds and following seas", till we meet again. Make sure we have the NFL network to watch. Pops

Brandon, Somedays I feel I should see you-walking up the street, tie half-off, shirt tail out and you come us and say, "Grams, I need a hug". You'd get the hug and we'd say I love you and off to work you would go. I'm so sorry you are no longer with us, but I know you have found the peace and love you were always searching for. Happy Birthday Grandson, we all miss you. Grams

Every day I am reminded of you and how you've touched our lives. I miss you so much! I know you're in heaven watching over us. We love you!

"DEATH LEAVES A HEARTACHE NO ONE CAN HEAL,

LOVE LEAVES A MEMORY NO ONE CAN STEAL"


Missing you Bran, Aunt Tanya

Brandon, There hasn't been a day that I have not waken at 330 in the morning reliving that night all over, it is the worst feeling in the world, to know that you aren't with us anymore. You stood beside me in my time of need. I wish I could of done the same for you. But I keep telling myself that you are happy now & in good hands. We grieve for selfish reasons. I just love you & miss you so much. Forever & always love, Georgie

There are no words to express how much the Family of Brandon Rose appreciates the help, caring and support of all that have been there during this difficult time. We are forever grateful. Our love to all. Alana and David, The Rose Family and The Schlickelman Family

i miss you, more than i knew i could and all i want is my phone to ring and hear your voice telling me this was all a bad dream. i know your watching over all of us and you've found peace but i just want to hear your laugh one more time.

Alana and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. My sympathy and thoughts are with you always. Marsha

Brandon



Until we meet again may you find peace in Heavens Hands










We miss you Bran



Aunt Tanya, Uncle Fred and cousin Tyler

i had to say good-bye, munch...i'm sick that it has to be this way. always smiling, always ready to help out, always the peacemaker, always the kid in the group that a mom remembers in the very best and warmest of ways. you brought something to our lives that was so good and kind and true. from the day megan said, "mum, i want you to meet my friend, munch", i had such a good feeling about you. it never occurred to me that i'd wouldn't ever see you come in with the rest of the ol' gang again. truly, my heart is broken. i pray that you find your peace and that you'll still have that terrific smile when i see you again someday. i know the good Lord has you with him, and that you two are very pleased with each other. all the kids loved you and always will...and so will i. thanks for bringing your special sunshine into our world.

love,

mumma mary

My Munch,

I want to thank you for all the laughes we've shared. I told you once before how very special you are to me, now I'm telling you how very special you will always remain. You brought so much joy and laughter to every life you touched, and I am so thankful for the memories that I have of our fun times together.

You are one in a life time and I miss you so much.

i love you ALWAYS!

Janet Johnson, WHHS Athletic Secretary

Brandon, I can only believe that you heard the lord calling you home and knowing this helps relieve the pain of losing you. As I looked around, at all who turned out for your service I see that there were many who cared and loved you deeply. What a turn out of love and support for all. You would love seeing all those who were there, but then you probably knew there would this type of a turn out. Most likely sitting back with that grin of yours, smiling and wanting to tell us all that you are ok now. I will miss your wise cracks and your smile. You did have your way of putting smiles on others. Until we meet again, remember that you are loved and will not be forgotten. To your Mom, Dad, sister and brother, if only there was something that could be said that would lift the burden from your hearts. May God bless you and look over you in your time of need.

Uncle Buddy

Brandon. where to start. You were one of the sweetest people that i have ever met. I will always remember our walks and talks when you would stay at Mike's house during the weekends. I will always miss you and you will always be in my heart. I just know now that you are in a better place where you will never have to feel pain again.

My sympathy goes out to your family.

Munch you were the definition of a friend, caring, loyal, funny,honest.People like you were hard to come by. I will always remember or good times ( steeler games especially) I hope you have found peace and happiness.We will miss you greatly.Rest in peace..

i am a former co-worker of alana, and just learned of this today. alana, my wife jody and i are very sad to hear of your terrible loss. our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Brandon,

My Boy, My Little soldier i'm going to miss you so much ,

This hurts so bad but not as bad as it was hurting you for you to do this . I hope your not going throw the pain any more buddy.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BRAN.

dad

We just learned of Brandon's passing and are deeply saddened by your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Try to think of him as your guardian angel now watching over you from above.

There are no words to express the sorrow and pain of this loss. He was loved and cherished. He will never be forgotten and will smile down from heaven and guide our steps till we meet again.

I will never forget all of our conversations and many track and cross country meets. I hope that you have found a better place and are at peace. I offer my deepest sympathy. Rest in Peace.

Munch, i wish i could have seen that inspiring smile one last time, it always let us see the infinite love in your heart and perpetual kindness in your soul. You were too good for this place, but you will always stay within our hearts.

Munch, you will be greatly missed. Sympathies to your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

My fondest memories of Brandon were during high school track. I'll never forget talking to him and seeing how happy he was after running a sub 5 minute mile. Brandon was a unique person. He had every desired characteristic packed into one person; honesty, compassion, loyalty, kindness, and especially humor. I wish I knew more people like Brandon, but I don't think that would be possible because he was simply one-of-a-kind. I have never forgotten Brandon and I never will. I will miss him deeply. With this, I send my condolences to his family.

I offer my greatest sympathy for all of your grieving hearts. It's hard to understand why things like this happen without notice, and hard for others to understand your pain unless they have walked down this path. Brandon was notorious for his slighted grin which always made him look as if he was up to something. My greatest memory of him was trying to lean back in his chair at work while on the phone and about lost it in the floor, he picked his chair up like nothing happened, but I saw the whole thing go down. I wish a stead fast comfort over your weary minds and aching hearts. I hope that peace be with you as you overcome your loss. Memories are another person's legacy. And Brandon will go on forever.

With greatest sympathy for your family.

Though I didn't know Brandon terribly long, I knew enough of him to honestly say that this fellow had one of the best spirits I've known. The kid just flat-out made me laugh. He'll be missed by all who knew him and I trust we'll see him again one day, as we too walk through Heaven's Glorious Gates.

Alana & Davey, Of course, this was quite a shock. You have our sincere condolences, prayers and support. May the two of you find comfort in one another. Please know that God has his arms around Brandon as well as you too. We love You!

Alana and family,

My sincerest condolences on Brandon's passing. I have only the fondest memories of coaching him in baseball and his tight friendship with Matt. He always was one who not only had that sly grin that made you wonder what they were up to, but he made me smile an awful lot also. I can not imagine what pain you must be suffering at this time, but rest assured that he must be in a better place now. My thoughts and prayers will be with you always.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.



Bernie, Diane, Heather & Nicole Merrick

Brandon has gone home to be with God to find the peace that he wasn’t able to here on earth. He will always be remembered & loved by the lives of those that he touched. You will never be forgotten. Love you always, Georgie & Morgan

That lazy smile, quick wit and humor will be missed. I know you will now find the happiness and peace that you missed here on Earth. You brought much joy to those who really knew you and understood you. You are amongst good friends now and your happiness is everlasting. We all miss you and you will be everlasting in our thoughts and prayers. I'll miss our football talks on them Steelers. Love you always...PAPPY

With sincere sympathy,

Laurie Bush

Brandon was a brilliant person, and one of the most caring people I know. It is a shock to my soul to know that he has left this earth forever. But atleast I know that my friend, God is watching over him.

Rest in Peace Brandon, I hope you can find happiness now.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
