Big Bro I Been Calling You. I Just Didn't Know You Were Looking Down On Me. I Keep To Myself So Much That I Didn't Find Out Until 12/28/23. I'm So Hurt. Every Time I Needed To Talk You Were A Listening Ear. I Always Told You How Proud I Was Of How Well You Were Doing In Life. When You Had To Go Away This Year I Wrote You A Letter. You Was So Happy That I Was Thinking About You. You Said, "My Boy John Wrote Me". I Responded, "I Would Want Someone To Write Me". I Always Asked You About Situations You Opened Up To Me About To Make Sure You Good. Last Time We Talked Face To Face You Told Me About Korea Passing On 10/31/23. Last Day We Text You Told Me You Had A Son That Day. I Responded, "You Named Two Of Your Sons After Your Nicknames? You A Real Eastside Legend." You Responded, "Naw 4Real Lol." I'm Not Going To Kick It Like We Was Bestfriends, We Had Our Own Circles. One Thing We Did Have Was A Lot Of Respect For Each Other For Each Other. "Rest Up Sonny" I Will Never Forget You Big Bra.

Man this one hit different for a lot of us. I wasn't as close to him as a lot of ppl but I can only feel his family pain. We truly lost a legend. B was a good person and by the turn out of his celebration he was loved. I ask God to keep his mom and his wife and kids lifted as well as the rest of his family and friends. ***LONG LIVE SONNY**** ~CHAN

Brandon, We are going to miss you! I am going to miss your smile, laughter, rhymes and jokes, LOL. One thing you stood on was FAMILY, you were a great provider and made sure we all knew how important we were to you. I'm sad knowing your kids and our families will never get to experience you again. All we have are memories. Truly one of a kind. Forever in our hearts. I love you!! -Princess

Tammy~ I send my prayers and deepest condolences to you and your family. Weirdly, I was on this site looking for my cousin's service info. and saw your son's last name "Castlin" and of course, I thought of you. I know you can't make sense of this, no one can. But, I pray for your strength and peace of mind during your healing journey. Love Always ~Tammy (Colbert)Stanton)

Cousin, I'm just not ready to Accept the fact that we will never be able to spend time with you or hear your voice in the flesh. You, were more than a cousin to my children & I. The love you showed my children was like an uncle & the love you showed me was like my Lil~Big Brother. When, we saw each other & talked on the phone you would always end by saying I Love You. So, just know that I will forever hold on to those words when I think of you. Thank you, for never judging me & always being here for my children & I. It's because of you that the younger generation of our family is so close right now because you showed them that family is everything & for that I can't Love & Thank you enough. S.I.P. Our Handsome Angel Until We Meet Again Love You Always & Forever Cousin!!!!😢💔🌹🌹🕊️ Nesha & Family

I can't lie baby I'm lost, I'm hurt, I'm angry, I'm sad, I'm heartbroken, I'm devastated; your life was stolen from you, from your children, from your family, from me. I can't eat, I can't sleep our kids looked at you like you were Superman; you were my everything and with in a hr of you walking out gooma door, you were gone. I'm crushed especially for baby sonny cause he will never experience you; outside of our stories and videos he won't know you. I'm heartbroken for ocean, bj and melody cause they will forever feel a void in place of you, just like me cause no one could ever take yo place. I pray it's get easier to live with this heartache cause right now I dnt see how I can move forward I'm still waiting up for you to come home baby I hope you know how much you are loved I just dnt understand why you took care of everybody ard you showed everybody love. I miss you so much already and it's only been 13 days. Lord Help Me....until we meet again my forever love 💔LOML💔

Brandon, I'm still can't wrap my head around this. You were a outstanding Man, I appreciate how you was there when Straw was locked up and after he got out. You were a true essence of a loyal down earth guy. They don't make men like you anymore. You was the last of dieing breed. May God give your family peace. We wasn't blood but you will always be my favorite nephew. Love you
