I had my best friend growing up do that 4 years ago. It’s a wound that never heals.
rip
didnt know him personally, but he did tattoo work for Johawks fiance.what a shame, its really just too bad there was nothing anyone could have done. R.I.P./
He was my daughters fiance and I am devasted for her and his family. I wish he had seeked help for himself. From what I understand, he was truly a stand up kind of guy. I never met him as I’m in CA, but I’ve been pretty emotional over this (for my daughters feelings) since I found out last night in an email. It’s just so surreal. Prays to all his family, friends and loved ones. Especially my daughter Kaylee.
God Bless All
I dont want to get too personal but what he wasnt a scotia boy was he? Were on a bad streak here with people passing recently so just seeing if it was someone I knew from school
No, he went to Mohonasen
sorry to hear RIP
thats very shitty, sorry to hear RIP
my good friend back in middle school killed himself by jumping in front of a train. shit was really rough because everyone knew he was in a shitty place in his life but didnt think he would take it that far. =/
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.
RIP brother, Ill see ya on the other side.
Damn adam… thats deep man, I’m truly sorry for your loss. Can’t imagine suddenly having to say goodbye to one of my best friends forever, one of my worst nightmares.
RIP Brandon,hung out with him a few times in school but never really close friends
I regret not going, I couldn’t bring myself to do it last night. Its extremely selfish of me especially when people who were even closer to him than I took a deep breath and went, but I just couldent do it. I wlll honestly say I would have lost it. I lost it earlier this morning writeing something… and I dident even know him as well as many others.
That should say something about him right there. You dident have to be his best friend to understand the kind of person he was, or be touched by him. He had an unbelievable personality
R.I.P
I would say RIP, but I feel sorry for his family and fiance, pretty selfish to do that to them.
Its not selfish at all. Some people just cant take it well, I am one of those people too. I dont have many beliefs and I am not religious at all, I am a very scientific person I guess. I only believe what I see and can prove. Life and death scares the shit out of me, its the one thing i cant controll and it bugs the hell out of me. When I lost my friend way back, it crushed me and I will never forget the feeling seeing him at the wake. I still picture it sometimes, and it creeps me out inside my head. Sometimes I wish I didnt have to see it. My grandfather passed recently too, and I saw him in his bed that morning. Another thing I will never erase from my memory. I guess going through these things is somethign you have to do, and it does make you a stronger person, but still only your own thoughts roaming around in your head are what you need to liston to.
Adam, I feel for you big time too man. I am so sorry to hear about this, please keep your head up. My thoughts are with you aswell.
Thanks man, it sure isnt easy.
I thought Id be alot better than I was, once we made it around the corner and actually saw him there I almost lost it a few times… I was really only able to look at him for a few seconds, it was just to wierd for me…
Thanks man, I appreciate it alot.
… 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
