As many of you know Brandon Hunter Phagan passed away September 11, 2015.  I am fortunate enough to have known Brandon for majority of my life, actually as long as I can remember. We were West Rockingham students, where he was given the name Fred by our 5th grade teacher Mrs. Edwards. This boy grabbed many of our hearts and will continue to live on in our memories. His father, Mike Phagan and mother, Bridgette Steen are not only mourning the loss of their only son but are also now faced with the burden of funeral cost. I know that we all just want to do something..here is our chance, we can allow Brandon to have the funeral that he deserves and maybe even have some left over for the 2 precious sons, Easton James 2 months, and Braxton Lee 3 years old, that are now without their father. Brandon's funeral is this Sunday and as many of you know payment is needed immediately. I plead with each of my former classmates, anyone who knows the family, friends of Brandon and Richmond County Citizens to help this family.  Donations can be made on this GoFund secure site or to the special Brandon Phagan account at State Employee Credit Union, to Harrington Funeral Home, or mailed to Mike Phagan 2008 Brookbank Rd. R'ham, NC 28379 OR Bridgette Steen 127 Glendale Drive R'ham, NC 28379.  Please continue to keep Brandon's family and friends in your prayers and pray for comfort for them.
