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.
