Brandon,

I can remember back when you were young staying with your dad (RICK NIX)and your step mom (PEGGY NIX) how happy you seemed to be around such a great family! You and your sisters CHRISTY and JERIKAY were always playing and having fun. I watched you grow up and the older you got the more you looked like your father. It's hard to see you go, you had so much to offer. I'm sure GOD will take care of you. I which GOD didn't need your help I would have liked more time to spend with you, but you have more important things to do now. I'll be seeing again one until then I still have your memory!!!

Love to you always!

Aunt Brenda

Brandon was my cousin, and I loved him very much. I hadn't seen him in a few years but I now he was happy and enjoying life. He loved his father, Rick very much as well as Peggy and Jeri Kay and Christy. He will never be forgotten, for he will always be in our hearts. God bless his family and be with them in their time of need. And remember you have one of the most beautiful angels looking over you everyday.

Brandon was my step-nephew. I hadn't seen him in several years. I hope God is enjoying his wonderful smile.

Janet Cave

Brandon Nix was my nephew - his dad, Rick Nix, is my brother. Even though I have been unable to see him for some time - I have loved him since he was a baby. The entire family has been deeply saddened by this senseless loss. Life is so short - we need to hold our loved ones close every chance we get - and never miss the chance to tell them that we love them. Bye Brandon - God bless you and keep you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Words cannot express our sorrow. Brad, as we know him, was a fine young man. En-

ergetic and full of fun. Our family became acquainted with him

when he visited Ohio recently while on leave with our grandson, Zack.

They seemed to be close friends and were together here with us, as well as several of their friends and our family. We will all miss him.

Sincerely, The Fry and Van Over families.

My name is Emilie, my bestfriend Sam and I was with Brad the last few weeks before his paasing. He was a wonderful man and loved to spend time with our children. There was never a dull moment when he was around. I will never forget his gorgeous eyes, that made him "Our Boy with stars in his eyes", his gorgeous smile that brightened everyones day. I will miss him with all my heart and pray for your family.My deepest sympathy to you.

I HAD THE PLEASURE TO GET TO KNOW BRAD. MY GIRLS LOVED HIM WITH ALL THEIR HEART, AND HE LOVED MY GIRLS. THEIR WASN'T A DAY THAT WENT BY SINCE WE MET HIM THAT HE DIDN'T CALL OR COME OVER TO OUR HOUSE UNLESS HE WAS ON VACATION OR OUT TO SEA. I WILL MISS HIM AND WILL NEVER FORGET THE MAN FROM OKLOHOMA WITH STARS IN HIS EYES.. NOW YOUR EYES ARE PART OF GOD'S STARS AT NIGHT AND WHEN I SEE STARS I THINK OF YOU. MY HEART GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY. I AM DEEPLY SORRY.

Susie Copeland

July 22, 2002

Brandon was a friend of my daughters, Amanda Willingham. He was at my house many times and was a very polite and nice young man. I am terribly sorry for the loss of your son. May God Bless and take care of you in your time of sorrow.

Sincerely,
