How does one celebrate another who has impacted the lives of so many, all while being mindful that this person’s reach extended in 16 years what many would not be able to touch in a lifetime?


How do you say ‘thank you’ for lessons learned through another’s strife and pain, all while realizing that relinquishment of individual hardships shed conversely without hesitation nor remorse?


How can personal lessons of optimism and gratefulness be taught through observing a life unjustly cut short, all while realizing that the role model of so many was barely old enough to, legally, get behind the wheel of a car?


Is it illogical to think that we can learn much more from those with so much less, or purely irony that we preach appreciation and love, but only truly understand such concepts when our loved ones are lost?


These are questions that can only be answered when life turns unexpectedly, seemingly without reason or reconciliation.


Thank you Brandon – you touched the lives of so many, and were an inspiration to all.
