Brandon will be missed. Another promising young Caymanian life has been snuffed out. XXXXX What a waste, it could have been two deaths. Please slow down, each of us including myself. I also tend to speed at times. Let's have a march to save our kids. We need our young men.
To : Brandon,
I was blessed to have you as my nephew , You was a well respectful and well mannered gentleman who made me proud to call you my nephew .The eighteen years you spent in my life was the most wonderful years of my life, but the day i got the news that you passed will go down as my worst day. You were my right hand man when it came to anything to do with the computer or TV as you were so intelligent. May your beautiful soul rest in peace and thanks for being my nephew,
Your broken hearted Uncle.

Very sad loss for such a young man, I too ride a motorcycle. I noticed during my last visit to Cayman how many young drivers seemed to be riding on my bumper (very close) and in such a hurry to get where ever it was they were going on such a small island.
Brandon made and impact on all that knew him and those that just meet him he was a kind loving child. I for one will surely miss your bbm messages telling us to have a great day at work or lets try and have a great work week. RIP Brando you will always be remembered.
my heart hurts along with the family because i have a son and it could have been him. May the family find comfort and peace in God
The passing of Brandon is very saddening. Our prayers go out to his family.
Can't believe I spoke to you on Saturday and on Sunday you're gone.
RIP buddy, you will be truely missed. 🙁
Another sad crash from speeding and reckless driving. All too common.
Sad sad sad, just look at his last post on face book!
Caymanian driver. Overtaking many cars. Running head on into an oncoming car. Many put in danger of dying. One taken. Whose next?
Sad to see his life end. But he was being an idiot by driving dangerously on a motorbike…. You only fall off once
why don't you keep your negative comments to yourself and instead try to show some sympathy to the familes and friends of this well liked young man, who ever you are if this was your son would you have liked someone to post the comments that you posted as your grieving the lost of your child. In the future try to think before you type. You act as if you will never be in the situation like the grieving friends and families of this fine, young man.
speed kills, why do the youth need to speed on a tiny island.
Graduated dirving license? Culture needs to change?
Traffic enforcement?
My heart goes out to the family of Brandon powery R.I.P .gone too soon.
I am deeply hurt to see someone as amazing as brandon go,he will never be forgotten in my heart, I will always remember him for the good times. RIP Brandon, I will miss you.
Life is short and in many cases, too short. Although we hope for it, sometimes 2nd chances are not given. A fine young man gone too soon. Well liked and loved, talented and intelligent… May he rest in peace
You were a special person with so much potential for a bright future. My family was blessed to have had you in our lives and I'm happy to know that you touched so many with your kind, fun and positive attitude. It hurts me to know that I'm in Europe to receive this sad news. My prayers and thoughts are with aunt Gracie, your mom,family & friends.
Now a days it seem so hard to hold on to our young men. My heart bleeds for him especially his parents. Why this should happen we never know. But Ican assure you God is Good, and I pray his strenght and powers sustain and keep his mom, dad and all his loved ones. May you all find comfort in the the God we serve.
Brandon Was a fine Young Man. You wasnt only a cousin but a friend you will be miss by many near & far RIP Brando

RIP Brandon. It always hurts to lose young people but especially ones so full of positive energy and potential as this young man was.
I did not know this young man but my heart bleeds for the family. No one should bury their child. I hope these messages of support help in some small way.
