Dear Bethany, Jennifer, Jon, & Eric,
My heart was broken when Tina told me that Brandon had passed. He was one of her first best friends & I had known him since they were in Kindergarten & when I used to babysit from time to time. He always had a big heart & was so great to those around him, a true friend & like others on Hope Valley, a honorary younger sibling. You guys were great neighbors. I still remember when we all made the homemade play dough & the fun we had. I’ve thought of you guys often over the years even after I moved to Idaho & Utah for school, when I had moved back to Eltopia when mom was sick before Tina graduated & I got married & later when I lived on the other side of the county before I moved out here near one of my best friends & for my work after my separation. You guys are forever in my heart & are in my prayers. If you ever need to talk to a friend, I’m here for you guys. Been too long since we’ve caught up with each other.
Bethany, Jennifer, Jon and Eric, my heart hurts for you all. Brandon always lit up a room with his presence. I remember all the laughter and fun we all had together. Fom childhood to adulthood. My prayers are with you all.
Oh, Brandon, I always thought so highly of you and cherished your kindness. I appreciate knowing you so much. Wish you were still here in the flesh. We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile.
You are missed by so many, and will always be remembered. Till next time my friend.
He was a great person and kind hearted one who will be greatly missed by so many who got the great pleasure of meeting him.
Bethany and Family our hearts are very sad to hear this news . Prayers and hugs to you all . 💙🙏🏼💙 May god give you all strength to navigate through this tough time . Love you all ❤️

Remembering Brandon fondly. Such a nice guy and a funny guy. My prayers are with the family.
Rest easy my friend ..
Brandon, you were always such a sunshine, my dude. Thank you for always making me feel welcomed in high-school. May you rest in peace ❤️
One of the best established of friends I could have ever asked for. Gave me hope in humanity. Always there for me when ever I called on him.
Sitting here staring at this screen trying to figure out what to say about someone who very few words can actually describe who and what you meant to me. I’ve been your friend since I was about 13 years old. We’ve grown together. Gone through loss together. And laughed til we cried hiding from the cops. You will forever be missed and thought of often.
Love you buddy. I’ll see u soon. But hopefully not too soon.
I love you Brother!
I am so proud of you!
You were everything I knew you would be
Loving, Caring, Smart, and freakin Amazing!!!
REST EASY!
I was hoping to run into so you could see this outfit. I never knew I would be wearing it to your funeral. I miss you man wish we got to hangout more. You never treater me badly not even a sarcastic remark. You were a real one Budhha.
I didn’t have the honor of knowing Brandon but after reading about his life, I wish I had. What an. amazing person and it must be said that we thank him for his service. My condolences and my heart go out to you his family, and friends! May you find some strength and comfort through this painful loss
Love you Brandon we didn’t hang out as much as I’d like to but the times we did have were heart felt and deep. We’d talk online about relationships consoling one another and if we saw each other in public at the club it there was always a friendly dance battle. Keep on dancing brother we’ll meet again someday. Love and Light
You will always be my brother and I will always remember you for the outgoing person I got to know
You will always remain in my memories as the sweet boy from Vista that loved and knew so much about ants. You are gone too soon.
You always knew how to put a smile on someone’s face or making them laugh you are an amazing person and you will be missed by so many people you were truly loved by many.
I did not know Brandon as closely as y’all did. But he was very kind to me and was the first person who really helped me open my eyes to some rough situations I dealt with growing up. Years later, I kept having him pop up in my people you may know on Facebook the past few months or so and kept thinking about adding him, but didn’t. And my sister, who was good friends with him told me about his recent passing. He was a kind and genuine person to all of us, regardless of how little time he knew someone, he just always showed kindness. He was gone too soon. No idea if he would remember me, but I hope he rests easy. RIP Brandon.
Ben, Bethany, Yvonne and Brandon’s Siblings, please know that your family is praying with and for you all during this difficult time. The pain of his passing was devastating to have received. We can only offer our most sincere condolences and our fervent prayers for peace of mind and heart as we mourn for Brandon. Love Always, Terry Smith, Faron Williams, Sonya Williams, Todd Frazier and our family’s.
Brandon was a sweet kid growing up and a kind man when he got older. I am so sad, he is gone too soon. We exchanged smiles to each other across the aisles at Walmart this past summer. I hadn’t seen him for a while but recognized his sweet smile. I will truly miss him. My love to Bethany and my niece Jennifer and nephews Jon and Eric.
Whenever I worked with Brandon at the local Renaissance fair in Columbia Park trail it was always a treat. I will miss him… I enjoyed talking with him about our Warhammer 40k collection’s, and was hoping to see him again soon… he’s left this world too soon. I will see you in the afterlife my friend; be prepared to face my Warhammer army in the afterlife. Rest in peace.
Brandon was always there for me. He was quite a rock when I went through the worst moment of my life. He will be missed more than he’ll ever know. To his family; you’re all in my thoughts and heart. A beautiful soul is gone too soon. He was an amazing man. I give you my condolences.
To Jon, Eric, Jennifer Bethany So sad to hear of Brandon passing our prayers and condolences are with you as you mourn your brother and sister, also Bethany I’m sending you Love and prayers as you go this very difficult time. We’re unable to attend Brandon’s service as we are in Yuma at this time. Love, Oly and Sharon
You had a rare gift of lifting people up when they were down and always keeping things fun and interesting. A unique soul whose light will shine on happily in our memories.
Truly sad to see you go so young always will remember the times talking bout star wars theories and seeing u it shows and all the fun times u were a really good friend until we meet again
My heart is shattered. Thinking of all the times we spent together the good and the bad. You were always there for me. I wish I could’ve been there for you. I wish I knew. I love you forever and always. Love, your chocolate chip.
