Brandon Thomas Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Washburn-McReavy Funeral Chapels - Hopkins on Feb. 26, 2026.
Brandon was the beloved son of Natalie Larson and Craig and Scott Thomas-Forss. He was a devoted father to his two children, Ellen and Cooper, with whom he shared countless cherished moments. Brandon's love for his children shone through in the time he spent with them, whether building intricate Lego creations or simply enjoying their company. His playful spirit and ability to connect with Ellen & Cooper reflected his enduring sense of wonder and joy.

A true movie enthusiast, Brandon had a deep passion for films and award shows. Each year, he made it a personal mission to watch all the movies nominated for Best Picture-A tradition that showcased his appreciation for storytelling and creativity. This love for cinema brought him immense happiness and serves as a source of inspiration in his life.

Brandon is survived by his mother Natalie Larson; fathers Craig & Scott Thomas-Forss; his children Ellen and Cooper Thomas; brother Nathan True as well as aunts, uncles, and many cousins who will remember him fondly. He was predeceased by his grandparents Matthew and Joan Thomas, Nathan and Mildred Larson.

Brandon's memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. His playful nature, his sense of humor, devotion to family, will leave an indelible mark on all who were fortunate enough to share in his journey. May his memory bring comfort to those who loved him.

A Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday March 18, 2026, at 11:00 AM at Washburn-McReavy Hopkins Chapel, 1400 Mainstreet, Hopkins, MN. A gathering will take place one hour prior to the service with refreshments following the service.
