So sorry that he passed so young and was such an angel. I met him at the Denver airport in the winter and he was so friendly and helpful in 2011.

I still remember meeting Brandon and how wonderful and sweet he was at the Denver airport in late 2011 or early 2012. So sorry for his loss.

Alyssa To Brandon:

Unsure of why you haunt my dreams.
Little memories turning into big things.
Knowing that you are a precious gift now given to God.
But so desperately wanting a chance to say so long. 
To wave goodbye, hug you tight, see that precious smile,
And say goodnight.

This longing seems so misplaced so unreal.
A child's feelings no longer how I feel.
To say that I'll miss you seems unjust.
But my dreams keep telling me that I must.

Wishing badly to understand why.
Wanting deeply to speak our goodbye.
The chance long past, I know it's too late.
Dealing with this wicked twist of fate.

So instead the tears are shed. 
Quietly, softly when I no longer can control my head.
 I awake again and know its true- 
We lost you too soon.

So I write and pray you see this letter my friend…
I love you and goodbye but not the end.

Brandon you were the absolute love of my life. The minute we met I knew I had found my soulmate. You loved my unconditionally at my very worst. I learned to love myself because you always believed in me. The four years I spent with you changed me forever. I can still hear your voice every single day. 

No person, thing, or place could ever remove you from my mind. I am so grateful to have been so close to you. You lived life with no fear and protected me in every sense. Your soul is the most beautiful thing I have ever felt. July 4th will always be our special day B. I promise to make you proud...and live life with absolutely no fear from here on out. I know you will "always have my back" as you have promised me so many times. See you in my dreams baby doll...I'll be missing you until we meet again. <3

Thoughts and Prayers with you Brandon, you were a great friend, and someone who I always enjoyed seeing and spending time around. You were always nice to me. My heart has felt pretty empty whenever I look at our picture from the Nuggets-Lakers game. What a fun night.  You made a huge impact on this world and many people in it. Prayers to you and your family my friend.

Kindest Regards & many blessings, 

Shane Thomas

Vernee,

My deepest sympathy to you and your family.  I would like to share a poem with you, from one mother to another.  Sending love, hugs and prayers your way.

Love, Carol

"The Cord"

We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.
 
It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't been seen
By any on Earth.
 
This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
 
I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.
 
The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.
 
It's stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
 
And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
 
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised...I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.
 
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!

So sorry for your loss. I went to school with Brandon since middle school. He was an amazing person, caring, warm hearted and a geniue person.I am glad i had the honor of knowing him! Prayers to everyone in the Nicholson family!

Sorry to hear about Brandon. Our family was hit hard by the news. We were remembering the summer you were home and the fun we had with the boys on the river and when him and Jason Pieffer brought down the basketball hoop. Everyone they meet that weekend sends their prayers.

Our hearts are really with you all. In his life Brandon brought happiness and laughter to so many people & this is such a loss for all of us who had the honor of knowing him. He is larger than life and will always be remembered.

Love you Brandon, you will always be in our hearts!  

Frank,Tisha,Raina,Elias, and Jeremiah

To All of Brandon's Family

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.  We have fond memories of Brandon!  Some of his great plays as a Ram are very vivid!  Please accept our sincere sympathy.

Bruce, Terri, & Bryan Dick

We are so sorry for this tremendous loss to your family.  Our prayers are for you and Brandon.  Jamie, Mark and Brandon had great times together (probably better than we knew!) during their high school years. May God be with your family,

Melanie, Fred, Mark and Katie Rosa

Brandon was a special person, who no matter what was there for everyone. His heart was huge and he always had such a beautiful smile. He will be greatly missed and always remembered.

Brandon, you are my best friend and my little brother.  I love you with every ounce of my being.  I will never in my life forget the special bond and relationship we had.  We didn't share blood, but we shared everything else.  You always looked up to me, but secretly I was looking up to you the whole time.  You taught me the importance of love, respect, patience, family, and friendship.  You showed me so many things in our time together, that it forever changed who I am as a grown man.  I always thought and believed in my heart that you would be the Brother standing by side at my wedding, birth of my child, and ultimately at my funeral.  The good Lord loved you as much as I did and wanted you a little earlier than most.  I think about you every day, every moment, and forever will.  Everything I do, I know you will be with me - the good and the bad, the happy and the Sad.  You were the little brother I never had, and the closest brother to my heart!  I know you left early to care for all your friends, but I wish it had been me and not you.  I love you forever brother, and will live my life to honor you and everything you stood for.  I will honor your name and your family until the day I see you in Heaven.  I know you are probably with Dice right now and all your other loved ones homie!  I miss you like crazy, but I know you are reading this.  I will never forget you Brandon.  I love you!

Vernee, I enjoyed all the times I spent with Brandon, the fishing, swimming pool and playing games over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your son.  I had the pleasure of meeting Brandon a few times and thought that he was a wonderful young man and a good friend to my son Matthias.  I was and still am devastated when I heard the news and I wish with all my heart that you find some comfort in the thought that God needed Brandon in heaven. 

Brigitte Schlieman

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Vernee,

Our deepest sympathies on your indescibable loss.  Our thoughts and prayers remain with you.

Vernee, my heart goes out to you during these days. Please know that I am here for anything.
