"I met Brandon for the first and last time at our family reunion many years ago in Nevada. We had a blast as there were only a few of us around the same age. My brother Taylor and I hung out with Brandon and Brian the whole time. We thought they were just the coolest dudes. I remember Brandon constantly talking about how much he loved the 49ers. We were a Seahawks loving family and boy did he give me crap for it. I think that next fall I was secretly a 49ers fan just to fit in. :-) I never saw Brandon again, but memories of swimming at Lake Tahoe and the fun we had will never leave me. Till we meet again someday cousin. Tammie, Gary and Brian my deepest sympathy. I'm so sorry for your loss."

Bubba and Greg have lost a great friend but we have plenty of good memories. I'm keeping your family in my prayers. Rick Castaneda, Yuma, AZ"

"I always looked forward to sparring with Brandon during football season as I am a Rams fan. At times those sparring sessions were spirited. In the last few years I noticed a more compassionate conversation such as "hey your Rams are looking better this year" I thought oh Brandon grew up! When did that happen? I will so miss arguing during football and cheering together during baseball. And yeah your were a pain in the butt kid but oh so cute and loved. Rest In Peace Brandon you will be missed. Gary and Tammie you raised a great guy and Stacy you guys were great together. Hugs and love to all who loved Brandon."
