Known as "Bull," his friend said of him: "He never backed down from anything. There was nothing that Brandon couldn't do. There was no challenge that he couldn't overcome. He took on anything you put in front of him. He was just such a great guy."
Brandon was promoted posthumously from 1st Lieutenant to Captain, and is survived by his parents, Brett and Cindy, his sisters, Ashley Benavidez and Taylor Barrett, and his brother, Brock. He is buried in Indiana.
His page on Virtual Memorial Hall has many photos and a heartfelt remembrance from his classmate & friend, Major Ryan Pallas, USMC.
