Everyone who knew Brandon knew he could light up the room with his smile and sarcasm. Brandon’s final mission was the gift of life to others through organ and tissue donations.
Brandon was born in Des Moines, Iowa, on Oct. 14, 1992, and graduated from South East Polk High School in 2011.
He served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 2011 to 2016. He was a military police officer and completed training/missions in the SWAT unit division. That gave Brandon the opportunity to travel the world, including to Afghanistan, Germany and Japan, during his military deployments.
In 2016 Brandon attended Grand View University, and he graduated with a major in business administration in 2020, which led him to Wells Fargo as a Home Mortgage Consultant. He was very passionate about his role and absolutely excelled at being a trusted advisor for everyone he touched.
Brandon was social, outgoing, liked the outdoors and loved being surrounded by his family and friends. He really liked to travel, and he could always be seen with his dog, Sparton.
Brandon was a devoted soldier, son and brother and was loved by everyone.
