I know this is late, but I haven't until now been able to even think about my best friend and little brother without crying. I met Brandon in band class when I was in 8th grade and him in 7th, we bonded over the most random things like pokemon, weird songs, our intense dislike for our band teacher haha. (sorry Mrs. Floyd )We would have pokemon battles in our free time during that class all the time or get in trouble for talking during instructions. We would always make funny faces at each other or go to each other for help if we were down. Brandon actually talked me out of killing myself for the last 3 years I have known him... Even until the end, he was always there for me. The day before the incident happened he gave me a hug and told me that he'd always be there for me and that everything was going to be ok, that day was my grandfathers viewing. NOw I write him letters every Tuesday, I write him songs, and poems. He always loved making music... I love you, Little Brother, you meant the world to me, I will never Ever forget you. #LoveYouAlwaysBrandonC

Brandon was my best friend and I will miss him forever, but I will stay strong. He was just starting to open up to me about himself. He used to let me play with his hair and he made me smile. He was a great person and always put others before himself. I loved him. As I was getting to know him, feelings started to develop and now it hurts me everyday to have that reminder, but i know he would want me to be strong for him.

Brandon was a great friend. He always made me smile when I wasn't feeling like myself. We first met at a church camp in 2016, and he would always make fun of how my younger sister and I look alike. We had great memories, and I'll never forget them. I'll never forget you, Brandon. You'll be missed. Rest in peace, buddy. Fly high.
