I can not being to describe the absence felt without Brannon being here. He used to come out and shoe my horses and also working with him when he came to work at Franke. He and I would come in the parking lot about the same time every morning. We would discuss horses, cows and the weather. I told him it was going to be a cold winter because the woolly worm said so. He was black all over. He said he had never heard such. Then he come in one day telling me he saw a woolly worm and it was brown not black. He never let things get to him. He was a friend to ALL! Your family is in our prayers.
Brannon was a amazing person with a strong passion for what he had and enjoyed doing !! I’m truly thankful to have been a friend to him over the years . I’m so sorry that this has happened to you all !!

I have known Brannon for about three years now from Franke. He was the one of the nicest and respectful men i have ever known.When my dad passed away in November of 2012. He had such comforting words and advice for me, He came to the funeral that day, even though he had to hurry up and change his clothes and get to work. He done it because he really cares about people. He will so missed by me and everyone else . God bless his family and friends. R.I.P Temp!!!!
