I watched Brandon grow up playing ball at Delta. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. That is not how it is supposed to be. The young should not go first.

Pam Rick and Jeremy
Words cant describe the saddness that we are feeling now. Brandon was like a second son to us and one of the bestfriends Kyle ever had. I am so glad we got to reconnect with him after being apart and was glad we got to see him in June. He was a wonderful young man who made our lives better for being a part of it.We will truly miss him and please let me know if you need anything. Love Dianna Mason and Kyle

What can I say about my little cousin that hasn't already been mentioned? He was a blast to be around, always cracking jokes, and keeping everyone's spirits high. He was so appreciative of even the smallest things in life. Such a hard quality to find in any person, let alone someone so young. I have such fond memories of my cousin at our family gatherings and parties. I'll miss you cuz ! RIP

I've been watching Yankee games since the '56 World Series, but won't ever watch another without thinking about how you adopted my team as your own. We watched too few games together. Mr. Dave, Miss Betty and the entire Weinberger family offer our deepest condolences during this most difficult time.

Our sincere condolences to Brandons family. I was fortunate enough to know Brandon personally and professionally. He was friends with my sons, Dustin and Cory, for years. Later I had the opportunity to work with Brandon at Advanced Bldg Prod. He was an outstanding young man taken too soon. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. The Carver family and Advanced Bldg Prod.
