Branden lived a life filled with challenges yet despite these challenges and the early passing of his mother, Jen, he was a loving son and a hardworking young man. He loved his car. He loved the outdoors, riding dirt bikes, sports shooting, and camping with his father and friends, particularly in their favorite places, notably East Pocket. His gregarious and fun-loving spirit will be deeply missed by his friends and family. Memorial services will be held November 17, 2012 at 1:00pm at Phoenix Memorial Park and Mortuary, 200 West Beardsley Road, Phoenix, AZ
