Damn, sorry to hear that man. The blows are never ending though. It's not what life deals you...it's how you react. Stay strong, you'll get through it. Life is pain...but you can turn it into something much greater. Just use this as an opportunity to realize that life is short. You never know when you're gonna go. Dedicate yourself to surviving and making something of yourself in memory of the life he wasn't able to lead. That's the biggest respects you could ever pay him.

God Bless..and R.I.P. Brandon
