Brandon was my Son and best friend.  I loved my son very much and was extremely proud of him.  Two days prior to the death of my son we celebrated my birthday and discussed enrolling him in college.  He wanted to become a Criminal Investigator and when he turned 21 he wanted to become a Police Officer.  I know my son could do anything if he put his mind to it.  He was a very talented and gifted man!  He was so smart.  I was so happy and was proving to everyone that he could do things on his own and be a man.  He was loving his job as a security guard he just earned the ability to carry a gun for his job also.  He had to take an extension test for this (he had to do a simulation and even do 3 bulls eyes with his left hand which he could do with no problem).  Brandon was a sharp shooter in Scouts.  He could do about anything.  He will be missed by many people: friends, family, teachers, leaders, employers and even people he barely new but helped in many ways.  I love you Brandon and you will never be forgotten.

Brandon was my cousin's best friend. I had the Honour of meeting Brandon about 5 yrs ago. I was impressed with what a great kid he was. Respectful, considerate, level headed. A young man to be proud of. It was always pleasant when he came to the house.  I know this part of your life is going to be a living hell for those that knew/Loved him. Especially those that were his family and friends. I only saw him a few times but, he definitely left a well respected impression. In this time of being there for each other, be sure to take and make time for you. There is no time frame on mourning. Best wishes to all of you in this difficult journey and may the healing process begin.

I am so sorry for your loss.  Nothing I can say will make your pain go away.   I wanted you to know that I was the first to stop at the accident site that night.  I wanted you to know that I prayed for your son. May God hold you and your family in his arms and guide you through this terrible loss.

We are so very sorry for your loss.  Brandon will be deeply missed by Max.  Our hearts and prayers are with you.

I've been blessed enough to be friends with Tina since we were 10 years old and even more blessed to have witnessed Brandon coming into the world and watching him grow from a boy into a fine young man. He will be forever missed more than he could ever know.  My prayers continue to be of those of Strength and comfort, not only during this time but into the future as we will all try to learn and adapt to facing it without Brandon here with us.  I love you guys -- you have always been my second family and may God continue to keep His comforting & healing hand upon you all.

Love,

Kim, Paige and Family

I watched you grow up into a fine young man!  Your memory will live with us all forever!  Our loss is heaven's gain.  May God comfort your family now in their time of sorrow!

May you know how very much your son was loved by his Westerville teachers.  Brandon's smile and kindness warmed our hearts and will forever be treasured by all who knew him.  When seeing Brandon at the store recently, he remembered his middle school teachers right away and wanted to know how everyone was doing.  We chuckled about a few funny memories and Brandon truly made an ordinary day special....  

Your advice at such a difficult time, to always say "I love you" to our children/loved ones, is meaningful beyond words Mr. Smith.  To know that Brandon opted to be an organ donar brought tears of sorrow and tears of joy.  This really shows how much Brandon also truly cared about others - even those he hadn't yet met.  

We are so very sorry for your loss.  Your family will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.  Brandon was loved by all and his memory will forever remain in our hearts....   

XOXOXO,
Blendon Teacher
