Our hearts go out to you in this time of loss. We lost our oldest son Bryce who was born a week before Brandon was, in 2003 in an accident as well. Know that you do not walk this path alone. Many are at your side. Prayers
It was such a blessing being a part of Brandon’s life these last few months. His willingness to do whatever it took to turn his life around continues to inspire me. He will always have a very big place in my heart. I’ll miss you buddy. Hope they let you wear those brand new, blue suede sambas in heaven. 🙂
God always has a plan and we are seldom consulted. He gave us Brandon & then taught us to let go. Rest peacefully, little boy, and know you were always loved.
Sorry for your loss, of a good person. I went to school with Brandon at Freestate high school, he was a great person full of life, always had a smile on his face, i hope hes up in heaven having fun and making everyone else smile like he did with people around him
Our family sends our condolences. Coach Price, Josh is at Marine Corp Bootcamp right now in San Diego. I will let him know about Brandon when we see him in May. I know that he always thought so highly of Brandon and enjoyed all the time he spent wrestling with him! In this time of sorrow, I hope you feel the embrace of all that knew and loved Brandon.
Chris:
My family and I were so saddened to hear of your loss.
As you know, I’ve known Brandon since he was just a seventh grader and joining the wrestling team at West. That seems like such a long time ago and at the same time just like it was yesterday. We all spent so many hours together at: school tournaments, summer camps, Greco / freestyle, or coaching with the coyotes. Great times, great enthusiasm, great learning experiences, great fun! ! ! I’m so appreciative, that I was able to know him and develop relationships with both of you guys.
I guess when I think of Brandon . . . I think of resilience. It seems that he had more than his share of adversity. Yet, somehow he always managed to work through his difficulties and do so with a smile. He was a fighter, and we will all miss him.
Our thoughts are with you and your family.
Coach Siebert, Mary, Aaron, Celese, and KJ
Brandon was, is and always will be a great man. My heart goes out to Chris, Christine and the rest of the family.
It is always tragic to loose a loved one so young! We are never prepared for such an event. But I do know this. . . Our God, “He will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears of all faces. . .
Isaiah 25:8
Chris, I’m so sorry for your loss. I wish I knew some better words of comfort for you at this difficult time, but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
May you and your family find strength and solace as you walk through grief. We love you and are praying for peace for Brandon’s loved ones. Brandon was a wise gentle spirit who left us too soon.
My heart, love and prayers go out to all of you. Brandon was such a kind, strong and helpful soul. He was a blessing on this earth and we were blessed to be a part of his life. My prayers to you Brandon, I know you are still making a difference with your smile and kind heart. Prayers to you all.
Chris, I am so sorry to hear about Brandon. My heart goes out to you. I will be praying for you and your family. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” Psalm 34:18. May you sense God’s closeness during this very difficult time.
I am so sorry to read about Brandon’s accident. I was one of his English teachers at Lawrence Alternative High School. Brandon was very friendly and always worked hard in class. I know he will be missed by many.
With Sympathy,

I am so blessed to have known Brandon. I had a great deal of admiration for the actions I seen him taking in his life. His bashful laugh and dimples will alway be in my heart. Mother Earth is now his blanket.

Chris and family,
I wanted to offer my condolences to you and your family. Brandon was a student of mine at West Junior High. He was a good kid with a great heart. He left us much too soon. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Chris and family,
The celebration of Brandon’s life on Saturday was deeply moving. It is amazing how in life we share time with others and then move on, but we take more with us from our relationships than we ever know. The story of Brandon “not losing” the wrestling match will always be with me, God bless.
Chris,
You’ve been in my heart and prayers for the last week or more. Our family has no words to express the loss your feeling. Know we’re here to support you Chris. You have touched so many young people’s lives with all your caring and time. Faith is the only thing to carry one thru the times your experiencing.
