> Brandon was a very good friend of mine, and was the kinda guy that would do anything for anyone without any expectation of a thing in return. I was truely shocked when I heard about this saturday morning, as he was one of the more upbeat and happy people Ive known. I cant say enough how he will be missed, **and seeing him laying there tonight was one of the hardest things Ive had to do in a long time. I cant remember how long its been since Ive shed tears like this** , and I think and hope it will be a long time until I do again… We had some great times together in HS, and outside of HS, and those I will never forget. He had many people that cared for him and loved him, and it showed tonight at his wake, there were at least a 1,000 people that went through throughout the evening to say goodbye to him. Thanks to everyone that payed their respects to both Brandon and his family.

😢 … i was doing all i could to control myself. I had to stare at the mustache tattoo for a minute just to retain composer, i pretty much lost it after i made a b-line to the car, i really hate crying infront of alot of people. And Every time i goto demarco-stone its for the same reason of death…I cant say enough about him, we just drank together at nationals for a while and just hung out with no signs. Also i had an appointment in 2 weeks for my first tattoo… Like Mackenzie said he always lit up a room, It was never a dull moment when he was around. I still remember hearing about him jumping out the window in school like it was yesterday :lol. RIP brandon, You’ll be missed by more then you’ll ever know. Next time i see you ima kick your ass :thumbup
