Brandon Sanford Obituary
Brandon Matthew Sanford, beloved son and brother, passed away on June 17, 2025 in Knoxville, TN. Born to Ben and Arden Sanford on April 11, 1989, he lied most of his life in Seminole County.
Brandon enjoyed sports, music, particularly Tool, kayaking, gaming, growing his own peppers to make hot sauce, and creative cooking. It was that love for cooking that propelled him into a career as a chef.
As a very caring and giving person, Brandon was extremely compassionate about animals. His dream was to run a sanctuary where animals would be protected and loved the rest of their lives. He had many pets over the years, but Leo was his most cherished and loyal canine companion.
Brandon is survived by his loving family, mother Arden Sanford, father and stepmother Ben and Kelly Sanford, brother Jason (Kaycee) Sanford, grandmother Frances Roberson, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, and his precious pets.
A private graveside memorial was held on August 8, 2025, at Highland Memory Gardens, Apopka, FL.
