November 2, 2017 at 11:01 amI am still in shock at this news. Brandon was one of Samantha’s first friends when we moved into the neighborhood. He would always let her hang out with him even though she was so much younger. I will remember him for his great sense of humor and his musical talent! He sent me a message with very kind words recently that I will always cherish. Rest in peace Brandon you will forever be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this very sad and difficult time.

November 2, 2017 at 8:09 pmMy homie, my kitchen maid, and my close friend. Only you would go out on the spookiest day of the year. I loved you so much, it makes me sad to see you go.
You made coming to work so much easier, like I was just going to hang out with my friends. I looked forward to it even.
Your smile brightened up this kitchen and put everyone in a good mood. I don’t know how we’ll pull it off without your silly comments and sarcasm, but we’ll do it.
Dissed by many but loved by your true homies.

November 3, 2017 at 1:32 amIm very sorry for the family’s loss! Brandon was a awesome friend to grow with as friends and as musicians. one of the most energetic people ive known. He was very talented and giften at anything he put his mind to. I met Brandon because of our love for music and performing our first acts together then down to his basement jamming, and writeing music together. Brandon could not only shred on his guitar but had a great voice! These are some of my greatest memory’s growing up and growing as a musician and that means the world to me….I hope to see you again one day!
