Brandon was a husband, father, son, brother, and friend to all. Brandon loved, and he loved BIG! No matter the miles between them, Brandon always took time to remind people how much he cared and stayed in touch. He never met a stranger.
Brandon loved the game of baseball, whether he was on the mound throwing the heat, or swinging for the fences. He loved sharing his knowledge and passion for the game. That love for the game led to his coaching his brother’s select baseball team, like The Bad News Bears, just a bunch of misfits who loved the game as much as Brandon! If he wasn’t coaching, we would go from field to field to watch all of his boys’ games. Whether it was baseball, soccer, basketball court or football field, Brandon made sure we were always there to support his sons from the sidelines. Brandon’s heart was filled with pride and joy watching his boys play sports.
Brandon’s love for his family was infinite and he committed his life and love to his wife Cioffi, and to each of his five boys.
Brandon loved driving big trucks and hauling bulls from Canada to Mexico and all state lines in between. It wasn’t just Bulls… he would load down the cab with a dog or two, a trailer full of chickens or pigs, and don’t be surprised to see a cut with a mini zebu, or a big Watutsi. Brandon loved to haul for the Jaripeo’s (Rodeos) and would occasionally have a cab full of Mexican Bull riders along the way. He made many of his life-long best friends on the roads they shared.
Brandon was preceded in death by, PawPaw Jim and Mimi Darlene; also, by a good friend Cody Burns.
Brandon leaves behind his wife, Cioffi and five sons, Brody, Brazos, Oaklee, Pecoslee, and Leeroy; Dad, Chuck and step-mom, Jodi Wilson; Mother Patty and step-father, Jerry Kemp; brother, Clint and wife Cammie Albers; sisters, Amanda and Telsa; along with nephews, nieces, cousins; and many friends who became family. Please pray and support them during this incredibly difficult time.

We are saddened for your loss. We are praying for you and the boys. Brandon definitely did not meet a stranger and the love he had for you and the boys did not go unrecognized. He will be missed dearly especially during baseball season. We will miss him on the sidelines and helping coach.

As young kids we roamed the streets and fields on our bicycles, played little league baseball, football, basketball together, rode horses and roped each other. To Young men who shared many passions together throughout our high school years into college. Brandon was always a bright smile waiting to greet friend or stranger with open arms into his life. May your light shine bright in heaven brother…. RIP My Friend
