Keira Blamed Herself

Keira started to blame herself for what just took place. She was rethinking on how she insisted on going swimming when it wasn’t even a part of their plan. The little one wasn’t her fault and someone needed to tell her that.

Mother’s Grief

Brandyn’s mother was the one who looked what Keira was going through and tried to console her even when she herself was heartbroken. She explained to Keira that Brandyn loved her so much that he saved her life and that she is proud of her son and so should be Keira.

“He was an amazing father. He was loved and will be missed. No matter what, he was a hero,” told Angelia. Each and every person who knew Brandyn knew him as a kindhearted, joyful person. And his sacrifice was a proof that he indeed was a hero.

“When he was around you everybody had a good time. He very seldom got mad. Things you think would make somebody upset he’d just brush off like, ‘Whatever,'” recalled his mother who knows he is gone and his absence reminds her of that unfortunate day every time.

“His dream was to travel around the world. We often dreamed of a honeymoon exploring Europe. He really just wanted to see the world through his own eyes, not just a picture,” told Angelia. She could only think of honoring him in all the ways she can.

“He had no problems shining as bright as he did. Shortly put, he was an amazing man and I am lucky to have known him,” said Angelia. Two days after the incident, Brandyn’s friends and family met at Pilot Point and conducted a candlelight vigil to honor the brave hero.
