Brandon Zanavich Memorial & Family Support

Brandon, known to so many of us as “Buff” or “B,” passed away unexpectedly this week, and the world feels so much emptier without him here.

This GoFundMe is to help his family, who are traveling to San Diego in the most painful of circumstances. These funds will go directly toward covering their stay, funeral arrangements, and memorial services for the many, many people who loved him. We know there are so many folks who will want to say goodbye. His passing has devastated everyone that knew him — not just his family and friends, but the entire San Diego community. He poured all of himself into his restaurants and the community he created. We are heartbroken beyond words.

If Brandon ever made you laugh, fed you, gave you a hard truth, or a warm hug — please consider donating. Every little bit will help his family navigate this heartbreaking time with one less burden.

We’ll share details about memorial plans and how we can all come together to honor Brandon's incredible life.

We love you forever, Brandon.

We love you forever, Buff.

We love you forever, B.

You are a legend.
