    I was Brandon’s 5th grade teacher at Gregory Drive for the second half of the year. He was very funny young man. He was one of my favorite students and also one the students I worried about the most. I was hurt to hear the news of his tragic murder. I even went to Paxon middle to try to find him when I heard he was there, but I had no success. That day I went he had got suspended and I left my contact info at the school…I doubt they even tried to give it to him. Prayers for his family. His memory lives every day in the classes I teach when I tell stories about him to my students.
