I am sadden to hear of Brandon’s passing. Brandon was a student of mine at Neches Jr/Sr High school. He was a great kid and I truly loved having him in my class. Prayers for his family.
Growing up Brandon was like another cousin. He was wild, fun, and hilarious but most of all he was kind. He taught me how to skip rocks on water. A memory I’ll always cherish. I love you all. Continuing to pray for peace and rest for you all.
Me and Brandon went to Elkhart together and the minute I met him he and I were like brothers. I remember always hanging out with our group of friends and if anyone ever made fun of or picked on me he was there to defend me and be a friend when I needed one
I am so sorry for your loss
May god ease your pain and leave you with loving memories
The sweetest memory I have is the day Brandon was baptized as he had given his heart to Jesus. It gives comfort to know he is with Jesus, whole and well and at peace.
To the entire family of Brandon – we are sending all our love, prayers and deepest condolences. May God’s presence be felt each and every single day giving you all the strength you need to move through this overwhelming grief.
I knew Brandon from my brother, those two became very close very quick! Brandon knew from the first day that my brother needed someone he could look up too he was there no matter what! He became an older brother and knew just how to make my day where it was a smart A$$ comment or just a sweet simple talk he was an amazing son,dad,brother,husband ,and just a great friend to have!!! He will be missed dearly ! Love you brother keep your arms around us down here!â¤ï¸

As I went through the motions Wednesday at the house, I caught myself listening for the elevator for Brandon to come up and just sit and talk with me while I did my chores. I’ve watched Brandon grow up over the years. I’ve listened to his stories, some pretty far out there 😄 … I’ve seen him happy, frustrated, and mad. I’ve sat with him and listed as he cried and poured out his heart. I’ve watched him Love … his Moma, his wife, his family and friends, the horses and his dogs …
And Ohhh How He Loved His kids. â¤ï¸
I’ve watched him enjoy the simple things of life, seen him struggle, work through frustrations and seen him rise. And no matter how old he got, he was always that sweet little boy to me. I will miss running into him here and there and getting his hugs … I will miss those talks we would randomly have, that he shared his feelings so freely. I will miss his kindness and sweet love he always shared with me. Those sweet eyes and that little boy grin. ☺ï¸
I Love You Brandon
forever & always and always & forever
💜🤗💜
he was the sweetest he has always been that way when we were younger in elementary I was a year older but he was always defending others and I was the same way.
Our deepest sympathy. We are praying for peace and comfort from God during this time and in the days and weeks ahead. Love,
The Livelys
Michael, Theresa, Taylor, and Maddox
Brandon danced with me my senior prom because my date ditched me Brandon’s girlfriend was so mad. I will miss him dearly im so sorry for your loss
My first memories of Brandon was when he was still in diapers. The sweetest little “man” I ever met. I had just started dating his Uncle and would come to wherever I was and feed me cheetos 😂 it didn’t matter what was going on or where I was in the house, there he was snuggling with me and feeding me. I remember when my daughter, Marion, was a toddler, Brandon got a little battery powered jeep as a gift. He used to drive Marion all over the property in his jeep, looking so proud and always so careful to make sure she never got hurt. Even as adults, he still looked after her every chance he could. He was always such a gentleman, even as a toddler. I miss him so much already. He may not have been my nephew by blood, but he was in every other way and always will be. I love you all so much and am always here, you all are always in my heart and prayers.
