Brandon, my Bre’Asia.. it’s hard not to think about you when I hear certain songs or even see your best friend and notice you’re not with her. Your energy could bring a dark room to light in the matter of seconds. The random messages telling me how beautiful I was or even just posting my on your story, I miss it so much. It was a pleasure to know you and be your friend. Until we meet again my precious angel . My deepest condolences to the Zackery Family, may God sending healing and peace to all of your hearts.

Brandon had a nice smile and sometimes he would make me laugh. He was not afraid of expressing himself. He was a pleasure to have in class most days. He liked laughing and having fun. He will be missed. May he find peace and joy with God. May your heart be filled with the knowledge that you had him for a little time but God needed him.
