He enjoyed playing football, soccer, baseball, wrestling. He loved skateboarding

Branden and his sister have always been the biggest source of joy, love and

laughter in their dad Louis` life.

His favorite vacation was our August 2013 7 day cruise to Alaska, with his mom,

sister, and brother. He turned 14 while on the cruise. He enjoyed it so much

that the last night of the cruise he stayed up all night with the other kids and

did not return until 15 minutes before we were suppose be exit the ship. Which

forced me to report him missing. Not only was the captain notified of a missing

teen but so was the coast guard, Settle PD, and a host of other agencies. All he

had to say for himself was, "mom why'd you freak out, it's not a big deal"!

He had the greatest smile and could make anyone smile. He lived to brightened

other peoples days regardless of what he may have been going through himself. He

was caring and concerned about others. He loved and adored his little brother

Gavin and wanted to do good so he could get into a good college like his sister

Bri'Unia.
