4 Years! I can not believe it. I think of you so much. I can now talk about you without breaking down. I now have more of a calming peace about me that I will see you soon. We all will. I know people get tired of me talking about you but I don't care. It makes me feel good.
Your flowers out front are still growing strong. Your presence it felt all the time. I still see butterflies landing close to me when I'm thinking or talking about you. THANK YOU! Some people think I'm crazy for thinking you sent butterflies to me but "we know the truth".
Phone calls / Amber Martin (Friend)
I remember all the times you had to call the office to let your mom know you were home. Or to ask if you could go outside. I could hear your mom say "did you do your homework?....no you cant go outside!!" "Did you do your chores...then NO you cant go outside!!" I loved hearing your mom talk to you. She loves her boys so much and now I truely understand after having boys of my own. I remember you beautiful smile. The thing I remember most was your love for your mom and your family........ Close
Thanks for the short time you spent in my life. You inspired me in many ways. You are loved and missed by many and in the hearts of all you have touched in life and death. Thanks for listening every month when I visit! I hope you like the balloon.
With thanksgiving and love that you have been given to be a part of our heart and of our family we celebrate this day of your birth beautiful child delightful spirit heavenly angel.
Happy Birthday / Mommie
Happy 20 th Birthday my Angel. There is not one moment that my heart dosen't hurt. Today Oktober 19 it always feels like somebody is ripping it out of my chest. This is the day God loaned you to me. We had over 9 inches of snow that day I knew you were going to be something special. "Special" boy does that describe you. You were such a special child. You still are. You can still put a smile on my face. I know I shouldn't be crying but I miss you so much. You now have Grandma Pill up there to keep you in line so I know you won't party to hard today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Close
Mrs. Lady bug / Bre`Yonna Quinn
I was not fortunate enough to know Brandon but I was blessed to be in the presence of his mother for a few hours. (My big sister braided your hair). I thank you and the many other people who knew him for sharing his story. You are truely a woman of excellence and integrity. I admire you for that. Stay Blessed. Close
hey buddy / Justin (BBQ) Akers (Friend of p.d.s )
Hey bud!!! I miss hangin with u and ur brother but when we meet again in Shangri La it will b like old times.... But until then Love You bub....
I know I haven't been on here writing or changing things in a while. I had to step back and start to put a little effort towards your younger brothers. I was to the point where I was searching around the house to find everything your touched to put on this site. Trying to make sure I didn't forget one moment of your life. I started to look at your brothers faces when they would come to talk to me at the computer and would see this site. They had my body here with them but you had my heart and mind on here. I made a choice. You are forever in my heart but I have to share. I had to start living with your brothers in stead of dying with you. My job here is not done yet. I will still update your site and read every single candle and tribute put on here. I just can't do it ever second of everyday.
This day will forever be hard for me. I can't help but to wonder, what would you be doing today? Where would you be partying? What gift would you have asked for? I will never know, and will always wonder these thing on this day.

In Memory of Brandon...We miss you.... / Uncle Leroy And Diane Read >>
In Memory of Brandon...We miss you.... / Uncle Leroy And Diane
Don't think of him as gone away--- his journey's just begun; life holds so many facets--- this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing that we could know, today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away.
And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched.... for nothing loved is ever lost-- and he was loved so very much.
Graduation/ Chame Hawkins (friend)
Friday was our graduation and it was so weird not seeing your name in the program or knowing you wouldn't walk across the stage with all of us. WEdnesday we had practice and some man that i really wasn't listening to waz saying "Don't touch the white flowers that will be on the stage Friday. They represent all the people in your class that you guys lost that will not be able to be here this Friday." and immediately i thought of you,but to keep from crying i got it out my mind. Then as they were saying all the namez Friday i sat and thought about the last time i seen you and the last wordz that you ever said to me because I will never forget them. IT was freshmen graduation and we had just performed One small step--the song krystal hated because i called her out about liking you right after we praticed it--- and Proud Mary. ME and Shante were balling and i mean we was cryin so hard and i remember i was walking out the gym crying and you hugged me so hard, i still remember you had on that yellow shirt blue jean shorts and sum white reboc, and all i thought about was you was smelling GOOD lol. and you said something for as long as i will live will never forget..."Chame' don't cry because we will ALL see wach other next year school is only in two months you will survive." and that cheered me up...even though the day you died i kept replaying that back in my head over and over again thinking you lied to me i will never forget how happy you made me that day ....I miss you so much boy lol R.I.P BDT Close
Thinkin About You / Latisha Miles (Friend)

how time sure does fly / Asia Cox (Cousin)
Boy, how time sure does fly! its been pretty much 3 years and there's still not a day that you dont cross my mind or i wonder if you know how much everyone misses you. I just wonder what you would be doing now, maybe getting ready for college, playing football, driving. To me it still feels like yesterday and i still dont know how your mom holds it together because i dont even like coming here to this site and i cant look at your pictures too long because then i think about what happen. I hate that any of this even exists, because it shouldnt! But im almost sure where ever you are you are having a better time then we are down here. But we all love and miss you! Aya Close

Lil Poem I Wrote "Moment Between Life and Death" / Kenny Taylor (Lil Bro )
Brandon…
Marching down the road Over his friends’ crib Moving, munching, chilling and hitting the streets while they were getting old. Entered bad situation Not knowing that his life was in danger, and That he was about to die before getting old.
Boom! Shots are fired, Bullet Entered his back, It Traveled to his heart, Went through just like that. Ended his young life, Ended his whole mack, I Never thought that my brother would end up like that.
Lifeless body laying, bullet killed him instantly. Inside his soul is saying, “Man I can’t believe this just happened to me” Free floating far away, he ended up in a special place, He Ended up in heaven, with that one familiar Face.
Another day is all I wish I could have with him, but Now he’s gone, and all I have is memories and film. Donald Ware...
Donald Ware, man you took my brothers life away, Ever so stupid that you couldn’t just drive away? After being hit, you had to go back and open fire? Man They were playing around and yeah what they did was wrong, but you were wrong too and I guess now, you have a new HOME
Feelings/ Kenny Taylor (Younger Brother )
Bro I'm coming to you in red. I'm coming in red because my heart is still so torn bro. We met bro, and we clicked so quick and easy. It was like nothing before. You was just like that missing piece that I needed all along. And I'd like to take the time right now to apologize for our dad's actions. There is no reason is the freakin world why we shouldn't have been together from the start. But my dad didn't have his SHIT together. Excuse my language but I know it angered you and by me putting myself in your shoes, I have no choice but to be angry. But anyway, the few times we met up was perfect. And I can only think about the time we went go-carting. The way we were both cheesing so hard. We were having so much fun. And we just came together bro. There was no more akwardness, it was me and you, and we were there. And then we went on our spell, we lost contact and didn't talk for months. And then to have to wake up to grandma knocking on the door to deliver the news that Brandon died last night. It crushed me bro. But I would not cry. It was so hard for not only me, ashanti, and aryann, but for our dad. He took it the hardest. In his heart he knew we should've been together and he failed to make it happen. And after that day, he was also crushed. And to have to come to your funeral...Bro, it really did kill me. Reality set in. And I saw you, as fresh as I ever seen you, but you was lying in your final bed. It hurt bro. I had been meaning to call you but...I really just didn't have the courage. After all the fun we had I just didn't know...and I regret it so so much. Now you're here, but you're gone, and I'm torn. And bro, at first I didn't want to cry. And now I want to. I just feel that you won't let me. And know that my daddy, you're Big Ken (lol), and me, and our little sisters, love you more than ever bro. You are always gonna be a part of us. I love you bro. And, I know you know how i'm feeling, but its just horrible. If and only if, I could turn back the hands of time. Just so we could chill. So I could say my final goodbye. And let you know that I'm holding it down for US in the high school, just so I could sit there, and watch you bro. Just spend that quality time that we never really got alone. I want it back so bad. My insides are crying out. I wanna release it. Let me have it bro. Let my tears drop. Close

Message from Brandon / ME
I know your hearts are heavy and you miss having me there but I'm with God in heaven where no one has a care - I just shook hands with Moses - I met Job and Daniel too - People who were sick on earth are now as good as new - it really was amazing - when I walked through the gate I saw the beauty of this place and I could hardly wait - to see the many wondrous things I'd heard about for years - a place where all is joy and peace - a place that's free from tears - Peter said "Now come with me - I'll take you to your guide" - soon I was standing with Jesus by my side - He took me by the hand and said "I'm so glad you came - your place is reserved in heaven's choir - sing praises to my name" - You should see my mansion - it's a sight to see - Jesus had it custom built especially for me - I'm having the best time up here so don't be sad and blue - I'm looking forward to the day when I can usher you - into this very special place where we'll live forever more - please live for God so you won't miss the things He has in store. May God comfort us as only He can. Close
