My brother Brandon, whom a few of you have heard about now that he pitched his career game in the State Championship last week, was involved in a car accident around 8:30 P.M. CST in Lee's Summit, MO last night.

He was in critical, but stable condition when I spoke with Truman Medical in Kansas City yesterday evening. I even spoke to him, and he seemed in good spirits.

At 9:15 A.M. this morning, he flatlined during operation because of a blod clot. He couldn't be resuscitated.

Anyway, he was a great kid. I'm pretty medicated right now so I'm artificially doing okay.

Seriously, though, I think I need a break from this forum, and the internet as a whole. I have a lot ahead of me.

Here are a few pictures of him. He was just thirteen.

Here he is doing what he loved.

Justin....I'm deeply sorry for all of these tragedies you've been facing recently. Really now, I just can't imagine what you must be going through. My heart goes out to you - I hope, no, I know you'll be able to pull through all of this. If you ever need anyone to talk to, or need anything, let me know. I'm always here, even if I'm all the way in Colorado.

Ah, I'm so sorry Justin. I thought everything was going to be okay too, meeting Anna all...Sigh..

Justin sweetie...I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am. Really, all I can say is do what you need to do. I'll be here if you need to talk...you know that. Take care hon. See you when you're ready.

My condolences ,sorry to hear about your brother Justin. Im sure he was a great person. All I can say is Keep your head up and stay strong.

Wow, Justin. I'm so sorry to hear about this. I could see you cared a lot about him. It's good to know that you are doing your best to accept this. It was good to get to know you and hopefully you'll visit sometime. If I don't talk to you again, good luck with everything and I send my best wishes.

I am so sorry to hear that, Justin. I truly am.
That is so sad.
I'm very sorry for everything and anything that has happened to you.

I really do wish you and your family the best of luck. Stay strong.

See you when you get back.

R.I.P. Brandon.

I am so sorry to hear that.. I wish you and your family well and I hope things get better for you. Take Care <3

whoa. that's horrible i really feel so sorry for your whole family. stay strong and if you believe in god then you know he has a purpose for everything that happens.

So forgive me if I break the forum rules a little right now, but this is pissing the fuck out of me. Yeah, so I'm messed up over this too - I hate knowing the way Justin is right now, it tears me apart. But to read this bullshit is just too much. It's so fucking stupid - you guys keep replying to Justin's post, telling him that you hope his family's okay, but what do you guys really know at all? Hm? Apparently not enough to be considerate. I mean, I'm sure you guys have good intentions and shit, but uh, not to be a downer or anything, he has no family anymore, just Cameron. It's depressing to read this shit. So stop. Thanks.

hes almost the same age as me..im sorry he died..
I'm sorry this had to happen..Although I didn't know him or you really well, I'm sure he was a nice person..
R.I.P Brandon..

oh, i'm so sorry to hear that. i wish you and cameron well.

RIP brandon

I feel really sorry for you.
May your brother R.I.P

My deepest condolences to you, Justin. He almost have the same age as me! Anyway, I hope everything would be just fine. And I hope to see you back in CreateBlog, soon. May you rest in peace, Brandon.

I'm so sorry! I am speechless <3

Sorry to hear that man, God Bless....

God, Justin, I hope you're doing better. I miss you.

Wow.. my condolences go out to you , Justin.

dude i am soooooo sorry that this happened. wow
RIP

Honestly, there is no need for that.
Obviously not all people on this forum (that will read/reply to this) will know about his life story, but it's the thought that counts.

These people are just showing their condolences, respect that whether or not they know who he is exactly.

------------------------------------
Justin, your brother is most definitely in a better place.
I've had many friends lost to car accidents and such, and it's always a terrible thing to happen. But realize that your brother would want you to be happy, and live your life to it's fullest. Enjoy your life, and mourn for your brother.. But don't live your life to mourn... Grow from what tears you down, and be a stronger person.

Why don't you just shut the f**k up? Maybe we don't know him as much as you do but damn give it up will you? We are sorry for his loss... it's a sad thing. The best thing we can say is "i'm sorry or something like that". Just shut the f**k up anna. ...

Justin, i'm sincerely sorry about your loss... i really am...

anna, they are being considerate. if he doesnt make exactly who is left in his family public knowledge, it certainly seems that theyre being kind and considerate in these tough times

justin, thats so awful, and im most sorry. thats so horrible, to lose a sibling, especially if you were actually close to them. i hope youll be ok

Wow...I am so sorry to hear about that. I really hope you can pull through..and that's understandable about you wanting time off. I am really sorry that happened to you. R.I.P Brandon.

and i thought i had it bad...look im sorry...but well i guess saying that wont make you feel any better.
i come on create a blog because it gives me a chance to talke about my fealling and my fears you know talking to people who dont know me personally helps alot...it helps them make an un bias opinon

actually, i agree with anna.

completely.

pseudo sympathy doesnt really help. it magnifies and impersonalizes the issue. if its possible to magnify it.

justin, words dont begin. so, a cliche. im sorry.

I don't know what to say...I can't even imagine what kind of pain you are going through right now, i don't know what to say....But know I WILL be praying for you.
I can totally understand why you'd wanna take a break from the internet and stuff...
I'm so sorry justin...

Aww gosh i'm so sorry that happened. I hope you'll be ok.

R.I.P Brandon

I am truly sorry for your loss. i hope you and your family are doing alright.


R.I.P.

This is Brandon's brother Cameron.

It really does hurt...and we really do appreciate your sympathy.

I just want to say that I couldn't have had a better big bro.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Don't dwell in grief. It makes you even sadder. Hope life treats you well.
R.I.P. Brandon

My condolences. I can't seem to put the right words together and all I can say is that I am very sorry for your loss. Best of everything to you and Cameron.



Winternights, your post has been deleted by me. If you have a problem with that, take it up with me. I will suspend your account should you post in that manner again.

Thank you to the mod that got rid of that very disrespectful comment.

I guess certain people find that funny.

... I was hoping you didn't see it.

Ah, man. I am so sorry. I know pretty much nothing I can say can soothe your pain right now, but know that people care and are actually concerned. I am so very sorry about your loss. I hope you do well.

i'm glad u deleted his post, it was very disrespectful

and due to ur brothers loss i know there is nothing i can say to make it better but i am deeply sorry. may he rest in peace

God, Justin... this is horrible. I'm so sorry. You have been through so much in such a short amount of time, and yet you're holding together so well. Yet another reason why you are such a heroic figure to all of us.

You know I am always, always, always here for you whenever you need ANYTHING AT ALL. I love you dearly. You are such a wonderful friend to me, I only wish I could do the same for you.

You and your brother and friends are always in my prayers. Take care of yourself, dear.
