VALLE, Brandon Antonio
Dec 11, 1990 - Oct 8, 2025
Brandon Antonio Valle left us unexpectedly in early October.
Brandon was born in Spokane, Washington, and spent most of his adult life in the Inland Empire. He graduated from Saint George's School before obtaining his Bachelor's degree in Biology from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota.
Known by many as a "Little Einstein," he was an incredibly fast and deep thinker, a strong analyzer, and an intense emotional absorber, who thought deeply about the world's problems. Brandon would never shy away from a vigorous debate on any topic that he was passionate about. A lover of the outdoors, Brandon loved to garden. He also worked as a Wildland Firefighter for the DNR, and for the Washington Parks & Recreation Commission on the John Wayne Trail in Eastern Washington.
He was a creative at heart. His pursuits included acting, singing, woodworking, and pottery. He exhibited a precision and thoughtfulness to his creativity that was a rare and wonderful combination to witness. He also had a deep commitment to his large and extended family, both domestically and internationally. As a compassionate and doting uncle and a loyal and reliable friend, he was a silent source of strength for many in his closest circles. Though he was fighting many silent battles, he could always be counted on to show up when he was needed and he would muster the courage to contribute his generous spirit even in the most challenging of times. Brandon will be remembered for his clarity of purpose, the impact he had on others, and the fierce independence with which he moved through the world.
He is survived by his parents, Linda and Philippe Valle; as well as his brother, Luca Valle; his sister-in-law, Laura James-Allan; his nephews, Xavi Valle and Milo Valle; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
A celebration of Brandon's life will take place at 1:00 pm, on December 7th, at the CenterPlace Regional Event Center in the Spokane Valley. As an expression of sympathy, please consider a donation to the
