Biggest heart around. Ran into Brandon in AR during one of his entrepreneurial efforts. After speaking realized we knew each other from childhood. We grew up in the same neighborhood. He and I reflected on the military lives we had, mutual childhood friends and just life. Spent a lot of time around him, even worked with him on some of his entrepreneurial efforts which was always an adventure. Lost touch due to family and almost a year ago while visiting OK we just so happened to reconnect on social media. He was always willing to help people and help out where he could. He will be missed and humanity lost a great person. My condolences to his family, and loved ones. He will forever be missed.
