My husband, Brandon “James” Petree, was a proud veteran of the USMC and a loving father to our three boys. He was passionate about his country, loved discussing politics, and was always building meaningful relationships with those around him. Brandon was not just my partner—he was our best friend, and his presence brought so much joy and stability to our family.

Tragically, Brandon’s life was taken from us far too soon. His murder has left a hole in our hearts and turned our world upside down. Our three young boys are now facing a future without their father, and the stability and guidance he provided. The pain of this loss is immeasurable, and the challenges ahead feel overwhelming as we try to navigate life without him.

We are reaching out for help to cover Brandon’s funeral costs, support our boys as they adjust to this new reality, and assist with clearing out our family home. Any support you can offer—whether through a donation or by sharing our story—means the world to us. Thank you for standing with our family during this incredibly difficult time.
