I was pretty close to Brandon before I left for Kansas in 2012. We worked at Carris Reels together and he was such a good kid. Never seen him get mad or do anything wrong to someone. I remember he broke his leg a while ago and he still had me go fishing with him, in the cold and some rain. Lol i miss talking to him since I left Vermont. To the Barrett family, you raised good kids and I am so sorry for your loss.

We have so many fond memories of Brandon and the rest of his Benson kindergarten 12 grade class. I had the pleasure of coaching him in T-ball and 4 and 5th grade basketball. What fun times we had. I can still see him on the mound pitching in youth baseball with his mom and dad cheering him on. For his family, please know that there is a God in heaven that loves him more than we ever could. May his peace surround the Barrett family at this difficult time.
