Through the few years I got to know Brandon through soccer and baseball, I looked up to him as a leader and friend. He lived life with a smile, one that could have only been influenced by such a warm and loving family. He will be deeply missed.

Brandon was a one-of-a kind guy and always had the biggest smile on his face. My most vivid memory is running around the neighborhood with all the kids when we were neighbors, when we were younger. He will never be forgotten in my mind or the minds of many, many others.

Zelda and Dick Wise

March 22, 2003

Dearest Debbie, Marvin, Jason, Audree and Chuck;

What words can be said at this time? Brandon touched so many lives, we were blessed to be among those. What a sweet, loving little guy he was. And what a handsome wonderful big guy he became. Even when Brandon was lovingly called "eggie", he smiled and accepted the love that came with the fun name.

Brandon will always be missed by anyone that knew him, but most by all of you. We are thinking of you, sorry to not be with you at this time. Brandon's memory will forever be a wonderful blessing for all that loved him. Us included. Shalom, dear friends.

with fond love to all,

Mr. Dick and Mrs. Zelda
