April 1, 2017 at 7:54 pmGone too soon, Brandon. My heart is grieved and confused. I do know one thing: it’s not difficult to find something kind to say about you. You made liking you easy, Brandon. Working with you has been my pleasure. I always knew that when you were my tech it was going to be a seamless day. Your humor, positivity, smile, and unique connection with each friend you made has imprinted many lives. It really feels like I’m going to come into work in a few days and hear you greeting me good morning with that big smile on your face. How unreal this is. My prayers and deepest condolences extend to your family and loved ones. You will be heavily missed.
