Sorry for the loss.
You never get over a tragedy like this, but it is easier if you dwell on the good memories rather than the loss of potential of a life lost so young.

 

RIP Brandon... Thoughts & Prayers.

 

Sad day. RIP

 

That's very harsh man-my heart hurts for his entire family.
Rest in peace young man.

 

bless you all.....whid

 

Sorry to hear it man, only time eases the pain of loosing someone that close. Sad to see one that is so obviously headed in the right direction go.
Maybe donate a perpetual trophy to a local run in his Honor? I'd be willing to put up some $$.

Doc.

 

Very sad news. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace Brandon..

 

Man O Man ,

So sorry for your lost,

R.I.P.
Brandon
God Speed to ya young blood!

All our prayers to you and the Family ....

God Bless....

 

I'm so sorry to hear that. From my own experience it isn't something that you can deal with easily. Take one day at a time and it's ok when you find yourself turning around to say something to him and he isn't there.

On the 21st it will be 22 years since I was told that my oldest son had died in an accident just a month after his 19th birthday. Your nephew sounds like he was very much like John was in a lot of ways.

 

So sorry to hear this tragic news.... R.I.P. Brandon.

 

Sorry to hear. I usually stay away from reading this type of thread because I never know what to say. Not trying to hijack thread but after almost losing my son 2 weeks ago I see things differantly. Life does deal use some bad cards from time to time and tests us to the maxamium.

 

Tommy, I'm so sorry for your loss. My family will be praying for and thinking of y'all.

 

sorry for your family's loss

 

I know the pain you are feeling, we lost our granddaughter three years ago. These tragic events make no sense in our lives, only Our Lord knows why this life was cut short. My prayers go out to you and your family.

 

Prayers sent. I can hear your pain while reading these words. Remember your Sis needs you right now and I know you need her. The ones closest to you are the same ones that help with the healing. Healing takes time but it does happen.

 

Wow sorry for you loss.
But you and your family keep the faith we know you can do it. Best of luck.

 

Ahhhhhhhhhh, this hurts on so many levels. I can't even begin to imagine the pain the entire family is feeling right now. So very, very sorry to hear about Brandon's passing and the entire family will be in my prayers. Life is so unfair sometimes.

Don

 

rest in peace, Brandon
