Brandon was born in Beaumont, Texas on September 14, 1984 to Greg and Robin Franklin. Brandon attended and graduated from Lumberton High School. Armed with an inquisitive mind and a knack for problem solving, Brandon followed in his father’s footsteps into the Auto Repair world. The opportunity and the joy of working side by side with his father for many years at Kent’s Auto Collision in Silsbee Texas as an Auto Tech was mutually beneficial to both gentlemen. Brandon’s off hours many nights were spent on his parent’s porch with his best friend in the world, his mother Robin. Whether it was grilling chicken, chatting about life or arguing about music - the time spent with his mother were some of his most treasured moments. Brandon touched many lives and in turn had many people to count as his friends. With a heart bigger than the size of Texas it could be said that Brandon never met a stranger and was quick to help a person in need. He enjoyed fishing, hanging out with friends, BBQ and music.

He is survived by his parents, Greg and Robin Franklin of Lumberton, Texas. A sister, Ashly Franklin and her daughter Amelia Scott of Dallas Texas. Sister Tammy Harris and Brother Greg Franklin Jr of Silsbee Texas. Brandon is also survived by Aunt’s Jonita Haines and Patricia Barrett. Uncle’s Greg Richardson and Douglas Franklin. Brandon was loved and survived by many cousins as well.

Pallbearers will be Braynden McHenry, James Justice, Robert Lewis, Brian Jones, James Richardson, and Richard Corbello.
