He grew up in Cokato, and was baptized and confirmed at St. John’s Catholic Church of Darwin. Brandon graduated in 2008 from Dassel-Cokato High School.

Brandon married the love of his life, Angela Nicole Anderson, July 31, 2010. They were married at the Rockford Laestadian Lutheran Church. They made their first home in Dassel, and then moved to the farm in French Lake Township, where Brandon began fulfilling his dream of becoming a dairy farmer. He also worked as a diesel mechanic at Midwest Machinery in Howard Lake, where he tore down and rebuilt his favorite of all machines, the John Deere tractor.

Brandon enjoyed hunting, fishing, chopping wood, saunas, Louis L’amour novels, and good ol’-fashioned hard-work.

Most important to him was his wife, Angie, and two beautiful children, Gretchen and Ivy.

He was always willing to lend a hand and share a smile. To him, life wasn’t about the clothes you wear, the car you drive, or the money in your wallet, it was about the people you meet, the memories, and impressions you leave along the way.

Brandon was unique, outgoing and energetic resulting in many lasting memories.
