I am so saddened to hear of Brandon’s passing. What a wonderful person Brandon was – in the classroom and on the football field – as a young man and as an adult. My life is richer for having taught and coached him. My deepest sympathy to Brandon’s family, wonderful and dear people. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Spent my freshman and sophomore year practicing with Rowland. We kept each other in shape. BJ always knew how to turn a situation around and make a heavy room much lighter. I still think of our high school team. Three members of that room have passed now.
