Brandon was born Aug. 14, 1982, in Sandpoint to Sidney and Sandra Hurst. He spent his childhood and teen years in Bonners Ferry, where he attended school and obtained his GED at an early age. He had many different occupations through his years of working at tree farms, mills, cooking and he loved working on anything he could take apart and put back together. He was talented in many ways.

Brandon spent most of his later years in Idaho and Montana where he had a love for the outdoors. Brandon enjoyed horn hunting, fishing, hunting, and picking berries.

He had a huge heart and soul, a wonderful sense of humor and let's not forget his smile. He will be forever loved, missed by all and never forgotten. Rest in peace, until we meet again.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
