Today, I found myself celebrating Brandon's memory by talking about some of his government projects from high school machine shop with some coworkers. I will remember and celebrate his creativity as long as my mind stays with me. Thanks for everything.

You will be missed dearly my friend.

I am honored to have played music with you after school and to have shared the best times of our lives with you, even though we drove your mother crazy with it some times. Fly high my friend.

You always made some of the hardest hitting Dag weapons. You put in pennies in the PVC pipe cores...but you didn't make sure they stayed in the pommel and they hit like an actual bat when you'd swing them. They rattled when you shook them. "What's in there? Why is it /rattling/?"

"....pennies."

Good times. You never hit me with the dag bats, you'd just tap me with it and I'd wander off to sit down. You were never cruel about the full contact part of Dag with people who obviously were not there to play hard, even if you'd come to do so.

You were kind, even tempered, and I'll miss you.
