Michael Thomas Branson

Michael Thomas Branson of Forney, Texas went to be with our Lord on October 30, 2025 at the age of 32. Michael was a beloved son, father, husband and "DAD" with a love for everyone and a heart of gold.

Michael was born in Bellflower, California to loving parents Mark and Laurie Branson on October 11, 1993. He graduated from Forney High School in May 2012 with a 4.0 grade average along with the distinguished honor of the "Citizenship Award".

Michael was so many good things to so many people and had an extreme love for his family and friends. He married his very loving wife, Christina Sapkota Branson, on September 28, 2022. As a loving father, Michael devoted time to all his children and would never give up on them. Even when the Christmas toys had a thousand pieces, he would take the time with each of them to put these toys together.

Michael loved the outdoors and enjoyed fishing, target practice, and working out (lifting weights) which accompanied his passion for Wrestling in high school. From the time he was 3 years old, Michael's favorite holiday was Halloween. He would do all the decorations, the kid's costumes, and of course, the candy and pumpkin carving.

During his 5 years in the military, Michael earned the Army Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal, an Overseas Service Ribbon, Army Service Ribbon, and many others. Michael had an outstanding love for his country and the freedom it stands for, which our military knows all too well along with the sacrifices made, After his time in the military, Michael went to HVAC school with dreams of going to work for L&L Heating and Air and ultimately the pursuit of becoming a police officer.
