Brandons Steel Guitar Gravestone

Post by Russ Wever »

Brandon died a couple years ago,just days short of his 30th birthday.
A swell, polite, well-mannered 'kid' that was making steel guitar one
of the main focuses of his life.
I hadn't been to the cemetery since the graveside service and went
there a little while back, and was surprised to see his steel on
his stone . . .

Brandon shared a birthday with my daughter Brittany. What a nice headstone. Brandon must have really loved the steel guitar.

Russ, thanks for posting this photo I had not seen Brandon's head stone and probably won't for quite some time. He was much too young to have left us, but he was a great person, fun to be around and he truly loved country music. His Mom, Dad and brother are all great folks too.
