Brandon Kristen Salinas

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved son, Brandon Kristen Salinas, who passed away on January 30, 2025, at the age of 28. 

Brandon was a tender-hearted, caring soul who brought endless joy to our lives. He was a son who made his family proud every day, a friend who could be counted on in any storm, and a man who lived with a heart full of love and a soul full of purpose. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends. Brandon is survived by his parents Guadalupe Salinas Jr. & Loretta-Lynn Salinas, by his son Noah, as well as his siblings; Analisa Salinas, Jessica Arredondo, Priscilla Salinas, Guadalupe Salinas III, Randy Salinas and Daniel Salinas, Grandmother Elida Arredondo, Godparents George & Christina Florez, family and countless friends. 

Brandon was a Senior Chemical Operator as well as a Firefighter. Brandon embodied the true spirit of courage and selflessness, always putting everyone else first and willing to put himself in harm’s way to protect others. Whether working hard with his team, battling flames, or comforting those in need, he brought strength, loyalty and kindness to everything he did. 

Brandons passion from riding trails to riding motorcycles touched the hearts of all he encountered. Whether navigating rugged paths or cruising along highways under endless skies, he found peace, purpose, and happiness in every ride. His infectious laughter, unwavering kindness, and knack for bringing people together made him a treasured soul in the lives of everyone who knew him.

Though the future ahead feels emptier without him and his time with us was far too brief, the road he traveled was filled with extraordinary experiences and cherished memories. May he forever ride on trails of gold, surrounded by the winds of eternity and may his legacy live on forever.
