You Brandon, was a fine person. I remember you well when you attended Cleveland School. I was your librarian. Was not aware of passing until reading "in memory" in the N&O today.

Message from Zolena Pittman

You don't know me, but as a neighbor and someone that has experienced loss in my life; I wanted to extend my condolences at this time of your loss. I know that this is a hard time to go through. At times like this I find comfort in turning to the Bible. At John 5:28,29 we are promised that our loved ones will be resurrected and we can be joined in love once more. Remember death is like a dreamless sleep awaiting the resurrection (Acts 7:60). My warmest regards go out to you.

It warms my heart that my sweet nephew touched the lives of so many people. We are definitely Included in that list. Life is short and we did not have enough time with him. I remember his smile, his laugh, him twirling my hair while he was in conversation and it makes me smile and my heart ache at the same time. My heart also aches for his family, my sister and brother-in-law, and my other nephew Reid. I pray for healing of the soul, strength and comfort. Love you!

We have so many wonderful memories of Brandon's childrood, both he and Reid playing with our children when our families got together at one another's homes. Great two family vacations together, these two youngsters were such a pleasure those many years ago. We pray for comfort and strength to this wonderful family and send our heart felt love to Brandon's family and friends.

Brandon was a good friend during our days at Cleveland school. I was really happy that we became Facebook friends several years ago. His posts and pictures often warmed my heart –resonating with fond boyhood memories or simply showing his joy as a proud dad, husband, son, and brother. The outpouring of fond memories, respect, and admiration from the lives he touched describe the great guy I remember as nice, funny, and compassionate. This is hard to believe and digest. Brandon and his wife, children, brother, and parents are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was one of Brandon's 8th grade teachers at Cleveland School, and I was very sad to hear of his passing. He was one of those students who stood out with his outgoing personality, politeness, and positive attitude. He was always willing to go above and beyond. I knew back then that he would be very successful in whatever direction he chose to pursue. My thoughts and prayers go to his entire family!

You were one of few people that have not changed or aged one bit. It was so nice talking to you and catching up.
When I started Cleveland in the 6th grade you became one of my good friends. I'm so glad I got the chance to meet you and to have had a friend like you.
I know God must be getting his army ready because he took a wonderful person home.
Sending prayers for peace, love and understanding to you're parents, your beautiful wife, brother and children. God bless you all!

I’ve read many great things about Brandon the last few days, and it is all consistent with the friend I knew through our time at Cleveland. I send my sincere condolences to his parents, Reid, his wife, and his children; I have really enjoyed seeing how happy he was via his social media posts about you over the years. He is certainly missed.
