Mr. Brandon Upson,
It took me some time to get the strength to leave my thoughts and feelings. Eventhough, I was your Uncle; it seem more like you was my younger brother and son at times. When you came into the world i remember the night, you were a special child then and you leave us now still with that distinction. Brandon you know I miss your presence and our talks. Since you were removed from us, its been hard and each day brings forth more challenges for me and the family to to deal with. Continue to look after your family and friends and I know God will repay you and us. The Bible says that if we take everyhting to him in supplication and prayer he will reward according to his will. God's will has be done; but the reward and vicotry will be ours. You keep your wings clean and tell mother and grandma I love them. Continue to rest and we will meet again!! Love Ya
Your Uncle,
Kelvin "Bam" Upson

WE KNOW LITTLE THAT MORNING THAT GOD WAS GOING TO CALL YOUR NAME. IN LIFE WE LOVED YOU DEARLY. IN DEATH WE DO THE SAME. IT BROKE OUR HEARTS TO LOSE YOU, YOU DID NOT GO ALONE, FOR PART OF US WENT WITH YOU, THAT DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME. YOU LOVE IS STILL OUR GUIDE: AND THOUGH WE CANNOT SEE YOU, YOU ARE ALWAYS AT OUR SIDE.

GOD SAID: "When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you; your troubles will not overwhelm you. When you pass through the fire, you will not be burned; the hard trials that come will not hurt you For I Am the Lord your God...who saves you."
As we stand in the gap and pray for your strength and comfort, please remember in life's dark places God will send people, and things that will strengthen and encourage you.

To Brandon's mother: I have been very saddened by the passing of your son. I also lost my only son at 18 unexpectedly. How are we to know that our sons would have to go so suddenly, so fast? No mother should have to endure the pain of losing a child and there is no other pain greater than losing her child. You expect to lose your parents, you don't expect to lose your child. I was happy to hear Brandon has a daughter - a part of him is still here with you although no one will ever take his place. I've asked many, many times over Why God? Why my only son? What did I ever do to deserve this? We'll never know the answer. It took me a long, long time to talk to God but I came to realize I needed God in my life. Sometimes it is often out of devastation we find our way to God. All we can do is pray and trust, have faith that God knows what he's doing, pray he has his arms wrapped around our sons. It's been 5 yrs. and I still struggle every day. We have to go to God in prayer and pray for peace and comfort and leave it in his hands. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit. PSALM 34:18. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with you during this very sad time. My heart also goes out to his father, his brothers, Quan and Jamerie, his daughter and her mother and the rest of your family. I hope I've been able to help you in some way. Trust in the Lord with all your heart.

I will always remember the shock Brandon had when he played me in Madden. He just could not believe a girl could play so well. He was really a very nice young man. To see him mature through the years and start doing well for himself was great. To the Upson family my prayers are with at a time when you just keep asking the question "Why Brandon, Lord". As time goes by you will all remember the greatest times you shared with him. Be Blessed, Peace & Love Tish & The Rodgers Family

Renee I have knew you practically all my life you are my name sake because you are the oldest. I saw your mom maybe a yr before she pass and I told her I would get by to see her and I never made it.Then I learned she had pass and it was too late. I felt so bad because we are more than childhood friends and our moms were bestfriends, we are family. I told my brother I would get by there to see you and butter,bam,and ledia. I still didn't because of work and other related things in life going on. I hate to meet with you on this tragic occasion and I'm so sorry to hear of your loss because I have sons too but he's God child. God has only lent them to us and he knows best. I know how you feel because I lost my mother too your mom's bestfriend, but one thing I do know and have learned through it all God but God he will wipe every tear and be there for you every step of the way.I love you Renee and your family and I promise I won't stay away this kind of occasion won't have to bring us together ever again. May God bless you and keep you.

The the Upson and Timmons Family:
As I scroll down to see Brandon's obituary tears just run down my face. I can't believe he is gone. Seem like I just saw his smiling face in Krystal and the last thing he said to me was by mom, Brandon called me that because when he attended Ribault Middle I looked and cared out for him like he was my son, to the mother may God continue to bless you and keep you.
Love,

GOD only chooses the most beautiful flowers for his garden and GOD chose Brandon. I hope in time this will somehow help you as it has me with the passing of my only son.
Sometimes someone can say one thing that stands out among others and it stays with you. They say GOD never makes any mistakes. I know this doesnt help at this time. Believe me I know. I've been there. My heart goes out to your family and I pray that in time you will find comfort. It's taken me a long time to get where I'm at, 5 yrs.,but try to focus on the special moments ya'll shared. I know GOD will take the pain away one day and your tears will be replaced with joy and comfort. I pray your broken heart will be mended and filled with love and peace once again. Thank GOD for letting you borrow Brandon for 20 years. May he rest in peace.
