It's very difficult to sum up the life of a man that was so many things, and that touched so many lives. Brandon was a loving son, father, uncle, great uncle, and great friend to all of us. He was the master of many trades from climbing trees to a self-taught mechanical expert. We could count on him to be there in a moment's notice, and there wasn't a problem that he couldn't figure out, or how to fix it.

He had a passion for the outdoors, he loved fishing and hunting, but his true devout love was spending time with his girls and family. He touched all our hearts—either by teaching us various life skills, giving us a few points on how to bag that big buck, or teaching the nieces and nephews how to be ornery. We all loved him unconditionally and he will be forever in our hearts, and deeply missed.
