Brandon had many hobbies most we would find rather dull. He found nothing but pure joy. Brandon just loved staying close to his family and few friends. He loved to make you smile and was always determined to make you laugh. You couldn’t help to laugh back because some would say his laugh was contagious and his smile would make you smile. When he wasn’t entertaining family and friends he enjoyed watching movies and series. Brandon also was a gamer and loved to do Facebook games. Other hobbies he loved were collecting knickknacks, especially elephants and beanie babies and DVD movies. Music was his joy when no one was around.
