In addition to his mother, Brandon was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, George W. and Evelyn Brown Reed of Liberty, KY, his maternal grandfather, Glenn B. Long of Richmond, KY, and Gordon R. and Etta C. Taylor of Richmond, KY.
 

Brandon worked in the broadcasting industry, where he was an on-air personality at Kentucky radio stations in Russell Springs, Campbellsville, Lexington, and Bardstown, as well a producer for ESPN Sports Radio in Louisville, Kentucky. Brandon also worked on the television crews for ESPN and CBS during University of Kentucky and University of Louisville basketball games. Most recently, Brandon worked in sales and in addiction recovery, where he made many friends and impacted many lives. He was a gifted speaker who taught classes and shared his personal story with audiences across the state.
 

Brandon had a passion for fishing, which was formed in his early years by trips with his dad. He especially enjoyed fishing in streams of the Green and Cumberland Rivers and wading Russell and Sulfur Creeks with the family dogs during childhood. Brandon never missed an opportunity to get wet and loved spending time in a canoe or kayak. He was also an avid University of Kentucky basketball fan.
 

Brandon was best known for his kindness and compassion and his unique ability to make everyone in a room feel special and accepted. His smile and laughter were contagious, and he was noted for his wit and light-hearted fun.
