Funeral for Brandon

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Larry and I am fundraising for my little brother's funeral. Brandon (pictured), was 23 years old when his life was unexpectedly taken on a Sunday night (11/7/2021). Brandon had a vibrant and unique personality that many cared for deeply and nobody could ever try to mimic successfully. He was passionate, free-spirited, and determined. He would work on cars in his free time and was always trying to live life to the fullest regardless of what others tried to do to limit his potential. He was always looking for somewhere to be and someone to help out. Brandon was a loyal friend, brother, and worker who would put anything on the line for someone he loved or cared about. He has even been known to take care of others in their time of need before taking care of himself. Though he had thick-skin, he had a heart of gold that so many admired. Brandon was also a fighter. Brandon persevered through many hardships and fought tooth and nail to earn a living. Many of his employers would comment on how more employees like Brandon were needed in the workplace as his smile would light up a room and his work ethic was unmatched. As his older brother by only a year, Brandon and I grew up being each others closest friends and fiercest competitors. My love for him is limitless. Unfortunately, on a Sunday night while coming home from another long shift at work, Brandon lost control of his vehicle and was killed in an accident about a mile away from where he lived. Brandon was a major reason why I wanted to be the best brother and man I could possibly be. He pushed me to new heights everyday and supported me through thick and thin. I will continue to think of Brandon and know that a major reason why I have become the man I am is because he is still pushing me to be even stronger, more competitive, harder-working, and more loving. He will be missed.

We are asking for $13,000 to help pay for the funeral costs that include the casket, funeral services, and memorial prayer cards. We hope to have as much raised as possible by this upcoming Monday (11/15/2021). Anything helps. Although I made this, my father will be in charge of the final expenses. We do apologize that this is on such short notice, but this was so unexpected and has us heartbroken.
