Brandon Michael Wells

Brandon Michael Wells was born in Santa Cruz, CA on 2/22/85. The family moved to Gold Hill Oregon in 1986.

Brandon was affectionately known, he was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him.

During his youth, he played first base in baseball and played the drums and clarinet in the school band, had an IQ of 130, and a great sense of humor.

Brandon was in an accident at the age of 12, which left him with a severe brain injury with secondary complications. He was cared for in his home until his death Christmas morning at age 40.
