Brandon Nicholas Smith

On May 27, 2024, Brandon Nicholas Smith, went to heaven shouting. Brandon was born September 30, 1982 in Madison County, Tennessee to Tammy Kelley Eison and Tommy Smith.

Brandon graduated from Hardin County High School. While in school, Brandon was a member of "The Pride", Hardin County High School's Marching Band. He was also a member of the concert band as well as the jazz band. During his high school years, Brandon went on two mission trips with the youth ministries of Mount Hermon Baptist Church. Those trips inspired his love for missions. He especially loved the children and they touched his heart. The summer after graduation Brandon went to Chatsworth, Georgia to take part in Global Youth Ministries as a youth leader, under the leadership of Roger Glidewell. He was able to travel to Hungary that summer. He later attended Union University and University of Memphis.

Brandon served his Country honorably in the United States Navy for 6 years.

He was a member of Love & Truth Church in Adamsville, Tennessee. His last request was for Jesus to be preached at his Celebration of Life service and for all of his family and friends to come to know Jesus as their Savior. In his life, Brandon believed he had done nothing at all, but Jesus PAID it all.

Brandon enjoyed playing the guitar and was an excellent cook. When his hospital stays were long and he only wanted to go home, he shopped for cooking essentials. He loved to try new foods and different cuisines. He loved to camp, hike, and to hang out with his friends and family. 

Brandon leaves behind his mother, Tammy Kelley Eison, and bonus dad, Frank Eison of Savannah, Tennessee; father, Tommy Smith and wife Shannon of Cordova, Tennessee; sons, Riley and Aidan Smith of Pensacola, Florida. Brandon has a baby waiting on him when he got to heaven and he was so excited to finally see his child. His grandparents are the late Billy and Joyce Love Kelley and Robbie Smith and the late Van Smith of Sardis, Tennessee. A step brother, Thomas Reynolds and step sister, Katie King of Bartlett, Tennessee. He is also survived by his best friend that he considered a brother since middle school, Alan Rainey as well as a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Brandon was beyond loved by his four fur babies, Jenny, Penny, Rosie, and Tori. They miss him and they grieve with us.
