William Brandon Bodenhamer

Born: December 20, 1982, in Houston, Texas

Death: December 30, 2025, in Walnut Cove, North Carolina

Brandon was raised in New Caney, TX by his loving parents Warren and Bobbi Bodenhamer. Brandon was the beloved brother to Ricky Bodenhamer and Chrystal Swindell-Bodenhamer. His son Tucker Chase Bodenhamer born in 2014 made him the proudest dad in the world. His son was always the brightest light in his eyes and the warmest part of his heart no matter what life’s changes brought. He cherished any time and every time they shared together. He was a great Father, Son, Brother, Nephew, Grandson, Brother-in-law, Husband and Son-in-law (while married) and Friend. All those titles he held were always very important to him and he took them all seriously.

After graduating high school, Brandon did very well working for the family business managing the manufacturing of livestock equipment. He also went on to take a few college courses at Sam Houston State University. In his spare time, he enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Bay fishing was his true passion.

Brandon began working in the Civil Construction Industry in 2018. He loved doing this type of work and traveled a great deal. He traveled through several states working and making true lasting friendships and relationships all along the way. He held several different impressive titles throughout his career, but I believe friend would be the best title to describe him.

Brandon passed away peacefully in his sleep on December 30, 2025, in the state of North Carolina where he was working as a Heavy Equipment Operator for a pipeline services company. He had just turned 43 years old.

Brandon’s warmth, kindness, and unwavering support touched the lives of all who knew him. Cherished memories will remain in our hearts forever, reminding us of his generous spirit and the love he shared. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all whose lives he graced.
