Brandon Joseph Gisi

Brandon Joseph Gisi passed away at the young age of 27 years old on September 1, 2015. He was born on August 16, 1988 in Houston, Texas, to the loving parents of Joe and Karin Gisi. When he was 5, his sister, Madison, was born and they had an unconditional love and bond nobody could break. She followed his every move and he taught her everything he knew. They were best friends and he was so proud of all her accomplishments. Brandon was her number one fan. Another very important girl in his life was his black Labrador retriever, Sophie. She was his shot gun rider and he commonly referred to her as his “girlfriend"

Brandon was raised in Sugar Land, Texas and moved out to Richmond, Texas, when he was 7 years old. He was able to do what he loved, riding his four wheelers and shooting his BB guns all over the yard. Brandon was blessed with the gift of athleticism where he excelled at every sport he played; soccer, gymnastics, Hurricane football, and especially Lamar Little League baseball. He loved baseball and played on several travel teams throughout high school and was able to play in Australia. Brandon graduated from Foster High School in 2007. Following his graduation, Brandon attended several colleges to pursue his many ambitions that were all construction related. He was a very hands-on person and could build or fix anything you asked him to. Brandon loved to work on his trucks and was always making them unique.

Besides sports, Brandon had a passion for fishing and the outdoors in general. He kept fishing poles and a bag of lures in his truck at all times. If he was driving and saw a pond or lake, he had to stop and throw a few casts, even if he had somewhere to be. The San Bernard River was a place where Brandon shared so many great reminiscences with his friends and family at their river house. He was able to take their boat out and fish all day long, which were some of his greatest memories. Brandon could out tube, wakeboard, and kneeboard everyone with the special tricks he taught himself to do. Surfside Beach also became one of his favorite places to be on the weekends. Brandon would pull his truck up to the water, set up a fishing line, and skim board across the sands until his pole would bend with a fish.

Brandon’s personality was one no one could dislike. He could make friends with anyone and everyone with his outgoing sense of humor and charming smile. He was the type of person everyone wanted to be around and put every person before himself. Brandon did so many favors for his friends and family just out of the generosity of his huge heart. Using his handy-man skills, Brandon loved to make unique, rustic furniture for his loved ones just to be kind.

He is loved by so many people and touched everyone’s hearts with his upbeat attitude and unforgettable smile. Brandon will forever be watching over us and

we are all blessed to have the gift of him for the 27 years we did.
