Brandon was unfortunately killed by a drunk driver on July 8, 2001 on Canyon Ferry Road.  Brandon was an energetic and positive kid, who had the amazing ability to turn the most boring activities into an adventure. He made sure to have fun with life, and never hesitated to try new things. He never met a stranger, and instantly made friends with his charismatic personality and spontaneity. He was described as "a bright shooting star racing across the horizon."
