Brandon was born in Bakersfield, California and raised across the US and Mexico. He graduated

Centennial High School in 2020, and went on to work at Collins Aerospace. Brandon was known

to be an amazing, kind, and sweet soul. His love of everyone in his life was shown through his

actions. He always had a simple pick me up or the question “you good, dude”?

Determination was important and his code. He was driven by ambition and goal orientated; he

was a man who could make it happen. Commitment came naturally, like a reflex. He had a great

sense of common sense as a young man and was never angry, but he was disciplined. Brandon

was full of Gods compassion and love turned his eyes to the people around him. Food was his

love language.

He attended St. Ann Catholic Church. The gym was his club, and he enjoyed going to the bar to

play pool and beat his friends. He played Xbox and enjoyed games like Fortnite, Marvel Rivals,

Warzone, Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Brothers, The Wind Waker, and had a love for

Spiderman.
