In Loving Memory of Brandon Reese Branstetter

Brandon Reese Branstetter, lovingly known as “Brando,” was born December 30, 1999, in Memphis, Tennessee and left this life on Sunday, August 30, 2026.

At 26 years old, Brandon leaves behind a life filled with laughter, adventure, friendship, and an immeasurable love for his family. He is survived by his fiancée, Ella Stewart; his parents, Greg and Melissa Branstetter; his brothers, Gregory Lee Branstetter Jr. and Matthew Braden Branstetter; as well as many other family members and close friends.

Brando was known for his bright blue eyes, his happy smile, and his goofy personality that could make just about anyone laugh. He had a way of bringing joy into the lives of the people around him, and his presence was something that could never go unnoticed. He was an amazing man, a loyal friend, a loving brother, a caring fiancé to Ella, and a proud father. Brandon loved being outdoors and enjoyed riding horses and motorcycles. He was someone who loved to work with his hands, fix things, and figure out how things worked. He also loved keeping up with his friends and brothers while playing games online, always finding ways to stay connected to the people he cared about.

Brandon earned his pilot’s license to fly chemical drones. He was incredibly proud of this achievement and was excited about the things he could accomplish in the future. But above all else, Brandon was a dad. He was a proud father to his two daughters, Sunni and Everleigh, and being their dad was one of the greatest joys of his life. He was the sweetest dad and cherished every moment he had with his girls. Brandon and his fiancée, Ella, loved Sunni and Everleigh deeply and raised them surrounded by love, laughter, and family. His girls were the center of his world, and anyone who knew Brando knew just how much he adored being their dad.

Brandon and his two beloved daughters, Sunni and Everleigh, passed away together, leaving behind a family and community forever changed by their loss. Though their time together was far too short, the love they shared as a family was immense. They will forever be remembered together and held close in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved them.

Funeral Services for Brandon will be held at 1:00 Thursday afternoon, September 10, 2026, at the Peebles West Funeral Chapel at Oakland.  Burial will follow at Memphis Memory Gardens in Memphis, TN. Visitation will be from 10 AM until 1 PM at the Peebles West Funeral Chapel at Oakland.

The family requests all girls to wear pink in honor of it being Sunni’s favorite color.
