[Last Edit: NorCal_LEO]

My brother passed away around noon today after his long fight with stage 4 colon cancer. Thank you all so much for the support shown through this. I could have asked for the best brother on the planet, and I wouldn't have gotten as good of a brother and friend as he has been to me. Rest easy until I see you again Brandon. I love you more than words could ever say
