Brandon Joslin

Brandon was born on December 20, 1945, in Beeville, Texas, to Thelma Clara Englehart and Brandon Vorpahl. His mother later married William Joslin, who lovingly adopted Brandon and raised him as his own. He graduated from high school in Texas in 1963 and soon after answered the call to serve his country by enlisting in the United States Army. Brandon was deployed to Vietnam from 1964 to 1967. Following his military service, he attended North Louisiana University (formerly Northeast Louisiana College), where he studied aviation.

Brandon built a successful and respected career in the development of computer banking systems, working with several companies in the Dallas area. His intelligence, resourcefulness, and natural problem-solving abilities made him a valued colleague and leader. In 2005, he moved to Northwest Arkansas and accepted a management position with Assembled Products in Rogers, Arkansas. He retired in 2018, leaving behind a legacy of dedication and integrity in his professional life.

In 2017, Brandon married the love of his life, Billie Lynn (Hendren) Joslin. Together they built a life centered on faith, family, and adventure. Brandon had a deep love for the outdoors and embraced life with energy and enthusiasm. Whether he was playing tennis or golf, hiking scenic trails, kayaking peaceful waters, competing in a lively game of billiards, or tackling home improvement projects, he brought creativity, determination, and joy to everything he did.

Those who knew Brandon would describe him as intelligent and endlessly curious, always seeking knowledge and eager to learn something new. He had a quick wit and a wonderful sense of humor, bringing laughter into every room he entered. He was kind, generous, and deeply loving — a man who found his greatest happiness in time spent with family and friends. His joyful spirit and adventurous heart will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Brandon is survived by his devoted wife, Billie Lynn Joslin; his children, Scot (Lisa) Hendren of Bentonville, Arkansas; Ryan Hendren of Tulsa, Oklahoma; Robert Brandon Joslin of Bella Vista, Arkansas; Nicole (Jason) Green of Bella Vista, Arkansas; and Brandon Scott (Mindee) Joslin of Arlington, Texas. He was a proud grandfather to Brianna Jena (Jerry) Louder of Goodman, Missouri; Molly (Christopher) Largent of Fayetteville, North Carolina; Haley Diane Hendren of Tulsa, Oklahoma; Renee Suanne Richardson of New York, New York; and Reece Anthony Richardson of Bella Vista, Arkansas; and Rhett Hendren of Rogers, Arkansas. He was also blessed with great-grandchildren Avery, Axel, and Sebastian. He is survived by his sister, Lauren (Larry) Behmer of Carrollton, Texas, along with many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins.

A celebration of Brandon’s life will be held at New Life Christian Church on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at 11:00 a.m.

Brandon lived fully, loved deeply, and leaves behind a legacy of strength, laughter, and unwavering devotion to those he cherished. His life was a blessing, and his memory will forever be treasured.
