When not at work Brandon loved taking his daughters out on the boat spending hours expecting to fish out whatever the line brought in just for a simple smile on their faces. Brandon enjoyed hunting with his closes friends and family. He was at peace when playing his guitar to his favorite song especially when he was accompanied by his uncles and brothers. At home you would usually find Brandon getting on “the call” enduring and intense match on Call of Duty with all of his different opponents. Brandon‘s intelligence, quick wit and great sense of humor brought so much joy to everyone who surrounded him. He had a huge heart where there was a special place for everyone in it. Above all Brandon was known for his love, honesty, loyalty and selflessness. He was the best father to his daughters, a loving fiancé and an adored son to his parents and an amazing brother. Words cannot express how much Brandon will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
