Brandon Depaolis

Sandra Ellis, mom of Brandon:

“As a mother of this incredible young man I would like to share my story..I am the mother of Brandon depaolis and from the age 8 after his father died i raised both him and his brother Lorenzo for the next 10 plus years of his life before he chose to move on as a man and created his own life with his young girlfriend..as the next 6 years of his life he had some poor choices but tried to better his life..had a bright future and fathered 2 beautiful boys. after losing his close friend due to murder, Brandon could not cope with this and got into trouble in may 2024 and went to Brockville jail. He spent the next 9 months dealing with his case but found God, and wanted a better life for him and his boys. Last talking to him, he told me “mom I love u and I'm gonna do right with my boys.” I was so excited. This young man did so much for his family and friends. Never seen his friends go without food, clothes, and in some cases helped them pay rent. his heart was so big, it was incredible.. anyone who can help his children for this found would be fantastic..thank you as a mother..”

On January 8th, Brandon was found unresponsive in his jail cell, and is now on life support with no brain activity. He had absolutely nothing in his system, and an investigation is now underway to figure out what happened.

UPDATE:

on January 10th, Brandon was taken off life support and gained his wings, now with Grandpa and his Dad, Pat.

We love you, Brandon. We will fight for you. ❤️

UPDATE:

Brandons wishes were to donate his organs, he will be saving 7 lives and potentially 75 more with tissue donations. ❤️

To help my Aunt Sandy with the unexpected costs that she will have to go through, I am organizing this Go Fund Me to help her through this time.

Brandon also has 2 small boys these funds will go to, as well. 

thank you for taking the time to read!
