Brandon especially loved France and could speak French fluently. He was an adventurer and planned to become an international journalist. He also had a passion for history and loved to learn. Brandon had a pleasant personality which drew friends to him both at work and in his social life. He spoke kindly of everyone and always reached out to those less fortunate - he was a true example of compassion, humility and love to all who knew him. After returning from Europe the fall he decided to move back to Winston and stayed at his grandparent's house while looking for work. What ever he set his mind on, he did well both in school and work. He enjoyed reading, traveling and especially his Harley Davidson motorcycle which he rode a lot all over the US.
