Words cannot adequately express for me the hurt that your family endures. I was fortunate enough to be Brandon's 1st Sergeant for 3 1/2 years and observe his development into a fine leader. Take comfort in the fact that you raised a fine son who was proud of his service and loyal to his friends and fellow military members. I grieve for his loss with you and pray for your comfort in this difficult time.

I am saddened to hear this news.

Her and I were good friends many years ago. As we grew older , we went our seperate ways, but that doesn't make the news of loss any less painful.

I hope for justice , peace and healing.

I worked side-by-side with Brandon for about a year through his civilian contacted security firm. I always enjoyed coming to work and having a great and joking partner on 2nd shift. He was a great guy and I hope he finds happiness in whatever comes after this world. Brandon you are and always will be one of a kind!

Brenda, Jack and family,
There really is nothing we can say to help you understand this unthinkable tragedy. Brenda, I still have Brandon's number in my contacts. You gave it to me for Luke, because he was thinking ROTC, and you knew Brandon would be an EXCELLANT resource. You have every right to be so very proud of him! We have prayed for you all and will continue to trust in the our Lord to bring you peace. Love, Margaret, Dubs, Luke
