Brandon was born on November 12, 1993, to Patrick and Susan Overstreet Mills in Grand Junction, Colorado. He was welcomed home by big brother Aaron, who actually gave him his name. Brandon loved life and all the adventures it had to offer. Even at a young age his passion shined through at the age of four he would imitate the sprinklers in the yard, at six to eight years old it became tornados and weather he would even be tornado Brandon on occasion. Brandon attended elementary and middle school at Holy Family before moving on to Grand Junction High School where he graduated with honors last month and was a member of the golf team. He had enrolled at Colorado Mesa University for the fall, with plans of studying medicine or psychology; yet another true testament to his constant desire to help people. As he grew older his interest became more grown up with him he was very politically and community minded. He loved fishing, tying flies and fly fishing, golf, skiing, target shooting, and boating at Lake Powell. Hobbies he shared with friends and family even included recently taking mom to go target shooting. His winter weekends were ski trips with dad covering nearly every ski slope in Colorado. Brandon never met a stranger and had a heart of gold. He leaves behind his father, Patrick Mills of Grand Junction, Colorado; mother, Susan Overstreet of Grand Junction, Colorado, and brother, Aaron Mills of Grand Junction, Colorado; as well as his extended family and many friends. Brandon Mills was also survived by his loving step-mother, Doris (Stepp) Mills of Grand Junction; two step-brothers, Jason and Evan, and his maternal grandparents, Ron and Mary Overstreet of Kansas.
