He was a good friend and teammate.  We play football together and ended up living two doors apart from one another when I moved back to Jacksonville 36 years ago.  He was also my financial advisor. I miss my friend Michael.

Dear Susan--
I was shocked to hear of Mike's demise & my heart goes out to you. Believe me, I understand what it is like to be the surviving spouse of a long term marriage. Remember that grief comes in waves  & an unexpected wave can knock you down. Grieving is hard work--it requires energy & stamina, so give yourself time to rest & reflect & regain your strength. I wish there could be a word or phrase to make  you feel better, but only time can do that. Until you & Mike meet again in another place & time, try to focus on the wealth of memories of your life together you have stored away.  Let those thoughts & feelings sustain & nourish you. God be with you my dear, & to my old friend Mike--go with God buddy. Sleep well. You truly were one of the good guys.  Thanks for the gift of your friendship.


Dear Susan,
our deepest Sympathy goes out to You and your Family.
A life may end, but memories are for eternity.
We will always think of Mike as a feel-good person
with his interest in the person opposite.
We wish you peace, comfort and confidence
in this time of sadness.
our thoughts are with you...

I first met Mike at San Jose Rotary. He quickly became a dear friend together with his beautiful wife Susan. Mike supported me through my various leadership roles in Rotary, when I opened up my own law firm in 2016, and through the years in various events including sharing our love for our Florida Gators. I too trusted him as my financial advisor and continue with dear Patrick. I always enjoyed catching up at Epping and his warm hugs and quick wit and gift of storytelling will sorely be missed. My condolences to the Brannam family. May the memories of his big, kind, generous heart and love you all shared lift you up during this difficult time. Paola Parra Harris and family

I was privileged to be counted as one of Mike’s many friends for over 35 years. He was always a positive force even during some of our most trying life events. I will always remember his infectious laugh and sense of humor. 
I trusted Mike and now Patrick with my family’s finances for many years. I always knew I was in good hands. He is one of the primary reasons I was able to retire at 61. I am so thankful for his service to my family. 
Praying for peace for his family and I am sure the Good Lord is sharing a few laughs with Mike!
I will miss you my friend. 

Our deepest condolences to Patrick and the entire family.  Mr. Brannam was always so sweet and funny whenever he came to our deli for lunch. May he Rest In Peace.

It is with a saddened heart to hear of the loss of your father.  It is always hard losing a parent.  I am sorry l did not have the opportunity to meet your Father.   He sounds like a great man and Father, and you, Patrick, have so many of his characteristics.  He may be gone physically but he will live on in your heart and all the wonderful memories you made with him over the years.  You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time of grieving.  Praying God will give you peace and comfort as you journey through this most difficult time.  🙏🙏🙏

The guys coming together around Mike’s martini, and telling Mike stories.  There will be a huge personality that everyone will miss especially at Epping!

We are so sorry for your loss.  My wife and I had spent many fond evenings at Epping chatting with Michael.  He was always so cheery and joyful.  We will miss those times dearly, unfortunately we will be out of town for his funereal.  Sending deepest sympathies to family and friend's.

Jon and Amanda Barron

My sincere sympathy to all of Mike's family.  Believe me, I know very well of your feelings of loss.  Grief is love.  Mike left many wonderful memories and will remain with you everyday.

I’m deeply saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. I pray for peace and comfort for Susan and the family. To me, Mike will always be remembered for his faith in Christ. This world has lost  a lot of its light now. 

I had the pleasure of knowing Mike for the past few years at Epping. He was such a character, bigger than life, kind, and welcoming.  His laugh made me laugh and his stories were always entertaining.  I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to know him and will miss seeing him so much.  I was heartbroken when I heard the news and can only imagine how difficult this must be for you all.  I hope you can find some peace in knowing that Mike will live on in the hearts and memories of the many he touched.  

Pat, Sorry for your loss. I always remember your dad as a great Gator fan and a jolly man. I remember the time I was guiding him to park at the Plantation and he ran over the fence and tore up his fender. He got out and said, "Well, let's get a drink." He was gracious and funny in that moment. He gave me some other advice that I'll never forget about growing up, getting a job and having a serious relationship. I remember him coming around the KA house when we were actives and I always thought it was cool for the bond to last that long. You and your family have our deepest condolences.

To all Mike’s family my sincere condolences for losing such a wonderful man. He had so much more to do and to give and it seems he was taken before his time. But take consolation in knowing he is in a better place now with no more pain or aggravation.
May God bless each and every one of you.

Mike was a very thoughtful and caring person.  He helped our family in many ways, and we are so very grateful.  We will miss his cheerful smile and calming personality.

Bill and Debra Perkins

So sorry to hear of your loss. I know that Mike touched many lives. My father was especially fond of him!

Mike had such a welcoming personality and always made us feel comfortable.  I understand how difficult these times are for you and know that if you keep his memory in your heart, he'll never be far away.  Thoughts and prayers to you all.

Patrick, Mike and Susan,
So many fond memories of your Dad. Hiking with him on the 
Appalachian Trails ( he always brought the best supplies).
Tailgating and watching Gator football games at the swamp or 
at our houses.  Taking trips with him and your Mom to Alaska and Europe . Not only was he our financial advisor for many years but 
a very good friend that will be missed dearly. He was a true people 
person who looked after his clients as family.
Our deepest sympathies for all of you.

So sorry for your loss. I have know Michael for over 25 years.  Miss seeing him on his trips to Perry.

I was so blessed to have known Mike and honored to call him my good friend.  I will never forget the many happy-hours we enjoyed together at Epping, listening to his many life stories of the past and present.  I will miss his big laugh, his smile that lit up the room and his hugs every time I saw him.  I will miss him terribly but will never forget what an amazing person he was and the impact he made in my life.  Heaven just added a beautiful angel with the biggest, kindest heart.  Cheers to you Mike!  
You will remain in my heart always.  
Your Friend always,

Patrick;
Beth and I are sorry to hear about your dad's passing. I first met your dad during the old Paine Webber days in 1988 in the high rise in downtown Jax before the market crash. We have been with you guys ever since -- PW, UBS, RJ, ...   Mike was always gracious and welcoming every time I called in.  Blessings and condolences to you and all your family.
Steve and Beth Brown

I was saddened to hear your father passed  away.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. 

Dear Brannam family,  
We are sad to hear of Mike’s passing.  We’re in CO but will be thinking of you all as you celebrate Mike’s life.  Praying for fond memories to carry you forward.  With deepest regrets,  Emily and Hawley Smith

I will certainly miss my dear friend Michael.  We played high school football together.  After moving back to Jacksonville and as they were unloading the moving van, I saw this person coming down the street to meet me.  It was Michael.  He and Susan ended up being neighbors of ours for 33 years.
I also enjoyed over 20 years of participating with Michae in Rotary.  Most member able for me will be all the great times we spend tailgating at Florida games and the phone call after or during the games we watched on TV.

As Michael would say "Go Gators"
Ron Shamlaty

Michael began as our financial planner in the 80's and became a trusted support thru the years. As he guided Patrick into the work, we always know we are in good hands. He will be missed. Julie and Jim Riley

Patrick and Family,
Michael was a very special person. I was always impressed by his knowledge and his interests. He will be missed as all great men are.
Blessing to you all at this time of grief.
