Brandon graduated from Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, Lexington, Kentucky in 2001. He also graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of Kentucky. He served over two decades in the food service industry becoming General Manager of several restaurants and opening new restaurants in several cities from Huntsville, Alabama to Louisville, Kentucky.
Brandon True was an amazing young man and truly one of kind. He was full of love and Jesus was his savior. Brandon loved living life to the fullest and he was always the life of the party. His smile and personality would light up any room. Brandon never met a stranger and was generous to a fault. Brandon would help anyone who needed him. It fits with his nature that Brandon donated his organs to give someone else the gift of life! His favorite pastime was spending time with loved ones and making them happy with laughter.

So so very sorry to hear of Brandon´s passing. We met him at Harry´s in Tate´s Creek and always loved his joy in celebrating "Talk Like a Pirate" day. A great guy, generous soul that will be missed.

I played little league at Gardenside on the same team as Brandon and he was a great guy. I always remember him when reminiscing on those great times. He was a steadying presence at catcher and I remember him being the heart and soul of our team. Prayers to the friends and family.
