Brandon Allsman

Brandon was born July 30, 1984, in Kingman, Arizona. He worked as a customer service representative and acting line supervisor at a private airport, TAC Air, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was quite proud of the work he did at the patent law firm of Brinks, Hofer, Gilson and Lione in 2007-2008, which allowed him to further hone his business skills and prepare him for the position at TAC Air. He was a very dedicated employee, spending many hours of his own time taking calls from and mentoring co-workers and fellow supervisors who valued his patient guidance. He pushed through the intense pain of his foot injury to prove himself an asset to TAC Air.

Brandon had two great loves in his life: his niece Ashyla Allsman and the video game he was creating – Tantis Games. Every moment he was not at work or rest was dedicated to Ashyla and the development of Tantis. He had a dream and a vision to give gamers the ultimate gaming experience through a new gaming engine and technology. He followed in the inspiration of J.R.R. Tolkien and George R.R. Martin in creating a new world and a complete language, called 'Old Tantan'. His philanthropic aspirations were as big as his heart. Once his game was finished he planned to use profits from his game to create affordable housing for those who fall through the cracks by being “in between” on the financial guidelines for housing assistance.

His big heart did not stop with those aspirations. His greatest joy in life was taking care of his disabled mother for the past ten years. His random acts of kindness to those in need made an unmistakable difference in the lives of those he chose to help. He fed and housed the homeless, donated to worthy causes and never turned away a friend in need. He would often go without himself to give joy to others. He didn't want accolades or recognition, a simple 'thank you' and knowing he made a difference was enough. He lived his life with honor, dignity and purpose. He was definitely, Leo the lion, a strength to all and loyal friend.

He is survived by his mother, Sherri Allsman; his father and step-mother, Jeffrey and Shelley Allsman; his brother Xander Noori (FKA Allen Allsman); his brother and wife, Dereck and Ashley Allsman; sisters Amber and Abigail Allsman; Grandfather, Joseph T. Allsman; and nieces and nephew, Ashyla Allsman, Natalie Allsman and Vincent Allsman, and many extended family. He is preceded in death by grandparents, Catherine E. Allsman, Verna M. Plumley and Wallace J. Plumley.
