I think I can safely speak for many of Brandon's Lincoln classmates when I say how much he will be missed. We all have so many great memories of him from high school that we will all feel this loss. Even though he and I grew apart after school, I was happy to reconnect with him via FB and I will always remember him as sweet, kind, funny, and a great friend.
