With my deepest sympathy to family and friends.

I think one of my favorite memories with Brandon was on his 16th, 17th or 18th birthday (can´t remember which specifically). We were hanging out at his parents house and once the clock struck midnight and his birthday hit I asked him what he wanted to do. He kept saying he didn´t know and wasn´t making a big deal about it, so I told him to get in the car and drive and we would go somewhere. I think we ended up stopping at Wesco so he could buy a lottery ticket (must have been his 18th birthday) and then he drove us to Taco Bell to grab food. It wasn´t anything spectacular, but it was random, slightly spontaneous and just a fun night to get to hangout with him. And it was an excuse for him to drive his red Jeep which I know he was really proud of. I will always remember that night.

I am so incredibly sorry for the loss for his family, this was out of nowhere and he will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him.
