I am deeply saddened by the loss of Brandon, may God bring peace to his family and friends. Brandon and I attended high school together, he was a grade ahead of me, and though we knew of each other then, we didn't officially meet until 3 weeks ago when a mutual friend, Clinton Haby, organized a mini and multi-class high school reunion at Around the Bend on Wednesday, December 23. At one point in the evening I saw him sitting by himself, and then he got up and I thought he was leaving, something compelled me to go over and talk to him, so I did, and we had a great time talking about mutual friends and just getting to know each other. A few days later we went to the Meek reunion concert and I got the pleasure of hanging out with Lindsey, his sister and best friend. It was such a fun night, he just had this good nature about him and I enjoyed spending time with him. We later had a funny episode trying to make a homemade concoction of soup for Lindsey, part of which included daring each other to eat a whole onion like an apple, which we both did, because we were trying to prove who liked onions more. Who does that? lol, it was hilarious and a moment I will never forget. We were just starting to get to know each other these past couple of weeks, little did I know our correspondence this past Monday morning would be our last. Though I only knew Brandon for a short period of time I can honestly say he made a positive impact on my life and for that I will be forever grateful. I will miss you Brandon!
