It is hard to put into words all of the reasons that Brandon was so special to each person who knew him. He was such a gentle person. He especially loved animals -- almost every person close to him ended up with a cat because of his love for them. Brandon had a great sense of humor -- when you were laughing with him, you were peeing your pants because he was so funny. He would do anything with you and for you at the drop of a hat. Playing sports was one of his favorite pastimes and more than excelled at the sports he loved to play, like volleyball and basketballl. Brandon was so easy to love and we are so heartbroken that he is no longer with us. However, we know he is no longer suffering. He left behind those who love him: his mother, Susan; brother; Nicholas; and sisters, Lori (and his niece, Naiya) and Stephanie (Daniel).
