Brandon was the most friendliest, polite and most kindness kid/young man that I have ever met….he grew up in the neighborhood when he was younger while attending Webster School living on 15th humdred block in Northtown. I use to call him the beautiful bue eyed kid. Brandon would have given his shirt off for anyone and everyone who would have needed the help. Brandon and his family are in our thoughts and prayers……Love Pamela, Jessica and Karlena Wiley/Houle

To Kathy and family
Brandon will be forever in our hearts. He fit into our family like he was one of our own kids. We were lucky enough to spend a couple of camping trips with him. He also introduced us to dead river falls hiking trail, which was no easy path. So glad we got to spend some time with him doing some of his favorite outdoor activities. We are greatly saddened for your loss and thinking of you.
