No new stories to share, but we talk about Brandon often. He was a great friend to me and my husband Greg and we try to keep his memory alive. His picture is in our living room and we miss him daily. He was such a bright soul.

It's touching to see all of the messages still being left here. Has it really been 17 years?

Does anyone else here have any stories to share?

I didn't know you well in life, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't impart kind words to you. Judging by the fact that so many people have shared memories of you, you must have been one hell of a guy. You were, and still are, both loved and missed. RIP, my friend.

I can't believe it has been 7 years now. The firearms community has had a small resurgence as of late. It did not last long before we all started talking about the greatest of all time. Fastkill911 will always be mentioned as a legend in our community. However, he was also a good friend to all of us and will always be loved and respected. On the 18th of June 2014 we will be having a Brandon "Fastkill911" Memorial game. We will also all be in a voice chat program called mumble. It would be great to have some of you there who played with Brandon and even those that just want to come talk to us about his life outside of gaming. I will add more information as the date arrives.

Thank you

B, I miss you bro. You, me, and G all had some crazy nights. Those stories are always gonna be with me and make me laugh. You were one of the funniest people I've ever been around, and still are to this day. I love you and miss you bro...everyone lost a great person when you left.

Brandon, although I never knew you, I knew your father well. After reading all the touching messages, and feel through the joy and the saddness of your absence. The lives you have touched. I am proud of Charles for raising such a wonderful son. The loss of a son,brother, and friend is a sorrowful feeling to hold. I wish I could have known you, but knowing your father and the way he could make me laugh. His joy of life. I can see now that he did pass this gift onto you. May you rest in peace. For one so loved

To the Lunsfords:
I think of Brandon often because he and Cameron, our Cameron, were so close once upon a time. We talk about their times together often, climbing trees in camden passage or boy scouts or gettin in trouble together. although i was closer to amber i will never forget brandon as a part of our childhood. when i was young and trying to be cool i thought of him like cameron, (an annoying younger brother at times : ) but someone who could make you laugh with their humor. now i think back fondly on how much his friendship meant to cameron, and how much amber loved him. his passing is a great loss and i know he is greatly loved still. Brandon, rest in peace. to the lunsfords: i will always think of you as family. love, clanci

Brandon,
I can't believe that's its been three years since you passed on. Every time I go shopping at the Elk Grove Wal-Mart, I think of the old days when you, I, and the other fellas on truck crew would have a ball while unloading trucks. Those memories of all the laughter that we shared will never be forgotten. I'm just glad that I was given the opportunity to get to know you. You will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace B,
Raheem

Brandon,

Just wanted you to know that you are definatly not forgotten. You are thought of more than you think bud. I still remember that small little baby the day you were born and the little boy that played with my boys. We grew apart as you grew but never too far from my heart.
Love you
Diana
Laura thank you for keeping this going.

Hey Brandon,

I never got the chance to meet you but I heard lots of good things about you through the old FireArms community. To this day, all these years later, you're still a legend... not just because you were a good player but because you were also just an upstanding person. 'Fastkill911' will always remain synonymous with the person you were, for better or worse.

Take care,

Brandon 'SOCOM-DELTA' Lesche

It doesn’t seem like two years have passed son. The pain is still there just below the surface. I keep a pretty good handle on it, but it slips it’s tether at least once a week. I’m surprised at how many things bring thoughts of you to the surface, and with those thoughts come a resurgence of the pain of losing you. I’m told time will soften the pain, but I don’t believe that is true, there will always be a moment when the “I wish Brandon were here to see this” passes through my mind. I love you, and miss you son…

Happy Belated Birthday my friend,
Mike and I spoke of you yesterday. It is still very hard for him although he keeps it all inside. Once in a while when the timeing is right he will engage in a conversation of our memories of us together. There is not one story that has no laughter in it. Although you are not in sight you still bring a smile to our faces. Brandon you remain in our thoughts and hearts of every day. XOXO until we meet again....

Celebrating the tourney win.

I’m trying to remember just how overjoyed I was on this day 24 years ago…it was one of the happiest days of my life. First born sons hold a special place in a father’s heart. Holding Brandon that day in the delivery room… MY SON! Dreaming of all the wonderful times we would be sharing throughout our lives…for 22 years that vision held true. Brandon was a true boy in every sense of the word, rough & tumble, hardheaded, stubborn, willful, and yet one of his smiles could change my whole day. Today, I would give anything to be gifted with one of those smiles…I miss my boy so very much…Happy Birthday Brandon…Love Always! Dad

Twelve months? The pain of your passing hasn’t lessened son. I miss you more than words can say. You are in my thoughts everyday.

Laura Colson (Clay's mom)

December 19, 2007

Brandon was a huge part of my son's life for over 10 years so there are always so many little things that remind me of him - sometimes just driving down the street and remembering a time when Brandon was with Clay and I. He's deeply missed by all. I wanted to include something I read recently - I don't know the author but I feel it's a good way to remember all our loved ones who have passed on.

Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me always in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well.

Brandon passed away six months ago and we are embarking on our first Christmas without him.
Everytime I think I've cried all the tears I have, I find out that I am wrong. I hate that it feels like it was yesterday and that my stomach can still sink just as it did when I first heard those words.
Twenty-two years. He was my oldest friend. And selfishly, I feel like I was owed many more years with my brother. I am missing his handsome smile and his teasing, sarcastic humor. And my mix tapes. :) Who will make my mix tapes!? :)
He's long since grown out of Christmas sulking, but that is what I think of this holiday season. Brandon pouting because the most important gifts on his wishlist weren't under the tree.
I wonder if one of my children will have his Christmas "spirit", and it saddens me infinitely that he's not here to laugh about it.
I think, that when you love somebody, that if they die, they take that piece of your heart with them. I am hoping with all of my being that Brandon has all these pieces and that he is caring for them tenderly and watching over us.

I really, really am very sorry to hear of him. I really am very sad about him. I rememeberd he works my crew truck job at Wal Mart. I was appreciated his job at Wal Mart. I am going to miss him so much. I pray him. I will visit him at South East Lawn Memorial Park and Mortuary and I give him the flower on his Memorial.

Wow, my thoughts are with the Lunsford Family. I only knew Brandon through an online game in which we played on the same team for about two years. He was one of the nicest and funniest humans that I have ever spoken with.

My deepest condelences for his friends and family.

Eric Kristoffersen

July 24, 2007

I wasn't a personal friend of Brandon's. We played a game together online. To be honest i was his opponent. He was a role model for me as an opponent of his. He was a great leader. Im positive his passion for excellence tranfered over to his personal life. He wanted nothing but the best for himslf and those around him. I was heartbroken to hear of his passing, because i knew that all who had known him had lost someone special in thier lives. I was almost brought to tears when i saw that Charles had left a message on the community message boards for Firearms. My prayers are with Brandon's Friends and Family.

To even understand what pain your family is feeling is unimaginable. I met Brandon at Wal-Mart. He never spoke at first and I would tease him about it. Then he started to come out of his shell and he was the funniest person I had ever met. When Brandon and my ex-boyfriend became close I would always be frustrated that he always came over! It seemed like he was always around. There isn't anything I wouldn't give to have him stop by just one more time. I remember him playing basketball and always having an excuse why the ball didn't go in. I loved that he was so smart and would fix my computer for me. He talked about his sister Amber and used to show me pics and say how proud he was of her. I never really realized how important he was to me or how much I would miss him if he ever left. He touched my heart and I miss his smile and funny words. He really knew how to live life and it just seems so unfair that he was taken so soon. I think about him everyday and miss him. My prayers go out to the Lunsford Family. I feel very blessed for having Brandon in my life, even though it seems too short of time. I miss you Brandon!!!!

To the family, I’m sorry that I got around to this so late. I was just working on the computer and something made me think of searching for this site because I never did see what was written in the paper about Brandon. I knew Brandon for about less then 3 years. I meet him through my brother Anthony who worked with him for about 2 years on Truck Crew at Wal-Mart. I worked with Brandon personally at Wal-Mart for a little less then a year when he went over nights to be a stocker; as well I had the joy of getting to know him out side of work a little bit before he stopped working there. I remember when I was told he passed away and I couldn’t believe it especially because I just ran into him at Target a few weeks earlier and planed to contact him. Brandon was and is an amazing person. He was extremely hilarious and never once let the stress of Wal-Mart get to him. He was very kind and thoughtful person. I sometimes wished that I could just be one of the guys on truck crew for a day because by brother always had funny stores to say about what Brandon did or said. His Death leaves such a heartache no one can heal, but the love and memories of him will last forever.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN...SALUTE

Dear Lunsford Family,
I have had the honnor to know brandon for some time now. The first time I met him was at clays house it had to be about 11 or 12 years ago. Back then he was a lot shorter and skinny as a pole. He was very quiet and shy that was untill I really got to know him about two years ago. When my husband got sent over seas for a year, my brother mike came and stayed with me to help with the kids. I can not remember a night were brandon was not there. Brandon, mike and clay would cram there selfs into mikes little room hook up two computers and play online games all night!!!! They would always kick me off my computer because it made there connection slower. :) My son and daughters faces would light up the minuet the boys would walk through the door, and they would sit right out side the bedroom door waiting for brandon to come out for a break. Brandon was always the first to pick my son up and toss him onto the couch and chase my daughter through out the house. He was such a great guy. One of my favorite memories was, one night i had heared some noises and got really scared and sreamed for the boys I was so shaken I could not barely say a word, befor I knew it mike and Brandon had flash lights and a bat running around in and out of the house just to make me feel safe! Its pretty funny thinking back on it now. Everyday when I would call to check in on mike brandon would be right there on speaker phone making jokes. Im gonna miss that so much. My heart goes out to your family and I am so sorry for your loss. Brandon we will all miss you so very much and please keep mike out of trouble. Love you always!!!

Chuck,

I can't even imagine your pain. Although I never met Brandon, it still breaks my heart. I'm so sorry for your family's loss. He was a gorgeous young man and from reading your notes he was just as smart as he was handsome. All of your children, and granddaughter are beautiful kids. I wish I had the chance to meet them. My prayers are with you.

Love,

To Brandon's dear family, I was so saddened to learn of the tragedy that took Brandon's life. I was not privileged to know you or Brandon personally, but you are in my prayers. If you would like to talk to parents who have gone through a similar loss, we would welcome you to contact us. Our 22 year old son, Zack, drowned last June at the South Fork of the Yuba River. It's been a rough year, but by God's grace we have come this far. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who has been through the same type of loss.

Niecy & Charles,
I know there are no words that could ease the pain your feeling right now, and hopefully in time your pain will ease. Through this experience people like myself who only knew Brandon from one meeting, wishes I knew him longer. From all I see and hear he had a wondreful spirit and was a great man. He has brought people together and made us all see that family and friends are truely a gift to behold. These are the things you all must hold on to. Do as the preacher said at the service tell those you love , you love them, have good friends and be prepared. I am blessed to be a new friend of both of you and hope to always be. If there is anything I can do I'm a phone call away.
Love you all Pam

To the Lunsfords:
My heart broke for you guys when my mother told me about Brandon. I am writing this message for myself and my family, and my heart broke a little for us too, because for a long time it felt like the Lunsford siblings were my siblings too, especially Amber and Brandon because and my brother Cameron spent so much time together in while they were in school. Because one of Cameron's favorite past times was annoying me and Brandon was friends with Cameron, I was often annoyed by both of them. But that's a compliment, because I love my brother very much, and it seemed like Brandon was a second brother. My mom and Aunt Tammie loved with he came to hang out with us; my mom called him her Christmas son because he and my brother Cameron would always play the video games they got for Christmas together. Cameron really valued Brandon's friendship; because he has no natural brothers, I feel he considered Brandon as a brother. I remember during my brother Cameron's going away party recently they told me about their sky diving adventure and how they would do it again. The main reason why I am so sad is because Brandon was a good guy and a good friend. Although I was not as close to him as I was to Amber, I could tell from what she often said that he had a generous heart and would do anything that he could for his family. I could write for a while about the times I remember Brandon hanging out with Cameron and how I cherish the friendship that Amber and I have, and how when we look through pictures of Cameron's birthday parties and celebrations there's a good chance Brandon could be in those pictures. But my words would sound trite, and would not properly express the sadness my family feels. Mr. and Mrs. Lunsford, Cameron, Danielle and Amber, you guys and Brandon will always be close to my heart.

I am so sorry for the loss of your son Brandon. There are no words to describe the pain, but your family will be in our prayers. My son Chris talked about the good times the friends had shared while in the EG neighborhood growing up. Brandon will be missed by everyone who knew him. Thank you Brandon for the good memories you have given your friends. God bless the Lunsford family during this most difficult time in life.

It's kinda hard to believe that he is really gone. I'll always remember Brandon for his sense of humor and his ridiculously funny impersonations. I worked with him on Wal-Mart's Truck Crew for 2 years and he always made the experience at work positive. My prayers are with him and his family. Rest in peace "B".

I am so sorry for your loss of Brandon. My heart aches for you as I heard the news. I haven't talked to you in years Bernice but I remember Brandon when you worked at Rancho Arroyo & he was the cutest boy--so sweet & kind. Then I went to FTB then you soon came. Be strong & turn to one another as you will need each other's strength. God bless you all.

My Son Brandon touched many lives, none more than my own.
The best & brightest souls are created out of true love. Niecy decided it was time.
A night of passion in May; lead to Brandon’s arrival in February.
Amber took her big Sister duties seriously, they must have had a secret language, because Brandon didn’t speak until he was 2, he could, just didn’t have too. Amber was always speaking for him; “He wants a drink, or Brandon wants a cookie…Brandon loved playing video games, at 4 or 5 he would get so frustrated when he couldn’t complete a level or scored low. He would fling the controller down and pout. He wasn’t one to let a little pain get in the way of having fun; when he was 11 or 12 he walked in with duct tape securing an old sock to his arm. Turned out he had gotten cut the day before, but didn’t want to quit playing so he bandaged it up himself. Doctor said he did a pretty good job, but should have had stitches. I was really impressed when he decided he wanted a more powerful computer for his gaming, at 16 he built it from scratch. Around that same time he & Clay gave us a real scare. They were shooting their BB pistols in a field near Clay’s house, when they were nearly shot by the Sheriffs that responded to boys with guns call. They sure had some hang dog looks, sitting on the curbside in cuffs when I arrived. I never told him, but I had nightmares for months after that. Seems like just yesterday he was babe in my arms & suddenly he was taller than me.
Brandon asked me to help him get a new car last summer. I expected a request for an Escalade or a 300C, but he showed up with pictures of 1991 Camaro, and chose one with a blown engine. My friend Tony asked why I bought it & all I could say was; this is what he picked. You should have seen Brandon’s face when we picked it up from the engine replacement shop, his smile would have left you dazzled. Brandon had been stopping by a lot lately, raiding my fridge on his way to play ball with Mike. His payment was always the same, a Smile, a Hug & Love Ya, Pops! His father’s day gift on Sunday was an invitation for me to treat him to dinner, we never got to go. A hot Sacramento day & an unpredictable river claimed my boy and crushed my heart. It hurts more than words can describe. But Brandon wouldn’t want us to sit around crying; that wasn’t his style. He would want us to remember the 22 great years we traveled together & be looking forward to when we meet again. Son, you’ll just have to forgive a father’s tears. I miss you so much. Love always, Dad

Wow... words can't describe how I feel right now. He was the best friend anyone could have ask for. He was an extremely smart guy with a bright future. My thoughts and prayers to the Lunsford Family and you always B. God took you away way too soon my friend. Hopefully we see each other again in heaven someday.

Brandon, I snuck into your Mother's room the night you were born. I couldn't wait to see you. I'm sorry that we didn't stay close, but you and your family have always been special to me and my family. I remember the year Santa sent a big box to your house one Christmas. Rejoice with the Lord now Brandon and know that everyone left behind loves you. You will never be forgotten.
