Brandon Bartholomew Obituary

Brandon James Bartholomew, 24, entered into everlasting life on March 7, 2015. Brandon was born on April 23, 1990 to Steve Bartholomew and Ellen Lachney Bartholomew. Brandon is father to Braden Bartholomew, and brother to Hunter Bartholomew. He is the grandson of Diane Gentile, Samuel Bartholomew, Mable Lachney and the late James Lachney. Brandon was companion to Brooke Winters. Brandon grew up in Metairie, LA and was a 2008 graduate of Brother Martin High School in New Orleans, LA where he was an accomplished student athlete and a beloved member of the Crusader Baseball Team, as well as numerous JPRD all-star teams. Affectionately nicknamed "Beezy", his free spirit, full heart and vibrant smile forever touched the lives of his many coaches and teammates. The full radiance of Brandon's shining light was most evident while spending time with his numerous aunts, uncles and cousins who survive him and will carry forth his spirit. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Funeral Mass at the Garden of Memories Funeral Home, 4900 Airline Drive, Metairie, LA 70001 on Tuesday, March 10, 2015 at 11:00 am and the visitation will begin at 9:00 am.

Ellen, Steve and Hunter,
We were so heavy hearted when we heard of Brandon's passing. So much of Evan's childhood was made special by his friendship with Evan and we can't think about him and your family without the warmest of memories. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Brandon was a special person and always quick with a smile, hug and hello whenever we saw him - no matter how long it had been. I hope you find comfort in his wonderful memory and know that he touched people every day you had him. Lisa, Alan, Evan & Logan Thibodeaux
