Brandon was born on June 12, 1986 in Marshall, MI to
Scott and Patricia (Travis) Saunders. He was the pride and joy of his parents,
having a son completed the family. Brandon grew up in Coldwater, graduating
from Coldwater High School in 2005. He stayed in Coldwater for a few years,
working at Mid Star Home Builders, but was ready to move on to bigger and
better things.
Brandon, full of determination, said his goodbyes and headed to
Nashville, Tennessee in 2011. He did find success, working as a manager for
RimTyme. His family was very proud of him and his many accomplishments. Nashville
became a vacation destination for Brandon’s family, creating many memories with
his nieces and nephews.
If you knew Brandon, you knew he was a jokester, always
the center of attention. He had an infectious laugh, contagious to those around
him. Brandon had a love for football, especially the Dallas Cowboys from a very
young age. He was a social butterfly who could stir up a conversation with even
a stranger and treasured his time with family and friends.
Brandon will always be remembered for his teasing
jokes, his wildly entertaining stories, his unfailing work ethic, his
willingness to always help others and the love for his dog Lola.
