Michael Brandon Obituary

BRANDON, Michael "Mike" Kerwyn, of Midlothian, born May 22, 1946, passed away unexpectedly April 30, 2023. He was very generous with his time and love. He lit up every room with his infectious smile and witty banter. He was preceded in death by his parents, James F. Brandon Jr. and Kathleen H. Brandon; and his brother, James "Jim" F. Brandon III. He is survived by his two sons, Michael K. Brandon Jr. and Carter M. Brandon; and daughter-in-law, Meghan E. Brandon. Nieces, nephews and cousins also survived him. Mike was a high school graduate of Collegiate School and went on to be a graduate of Virginia Tech, with a Bachelor of Science in Business and has been a proud Hokie ever since. He was the co-owner of Brandon Silo Corp. with his brother, Jim, building silos in several states. In 1988, Mike began a new endeavor when starting Kerwyn Corp., building residential homes for sale. He then began buying homes to rent. We will receive friends and family on Monday, May 8, at 1 p.m., at Bethel Baptist Church, 1100 Huguenot Springs Rd., Midlothian, Va. 23113, for a memorial service to honor Mike's life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be delivered to the Richmond Animal League or the Virginia Tech Alumni Association.

I have fond memories of Mike at family gatherings at my in-laws in Richmond. He was the life of the party, and always made me smile.

I was so very sorry to hear of Mike´s passing. My sisters and I always knew him as "Uncle Mike" and he was truly a member of our family. Mike was fun, funny, generous, caring and quite honestly another father to me. He supported my sisters and I so wonderfully and generously when our father Jim, his best friend since childhood, was sick and passed away. I will never forget my Uncle Mike. Much love and deepest condolences to his sons Mike Jr. and Carter and the entire family. I will never forget you Mike!! R.I.P.

Great memories of fellowship at Stonehenge and at Hokie football games. Mike was my brother and I will miss him terribly.
