Title: Brandon mentioned in an obituary
Post by: Aen Elderberry on May 14, 2008, 06:31:43 PM

I'm not sure if this is of interest here but I thought I'd post it just in case.  Seems Brandon's name comes up all over the place.

My wife's friends lost their son to a brain tumor last week.  Wonderful young man.  My wife reported that the funeral was inspiring.

From his obituary:

"He loved fantasy novels, especially those written by Terry Brooks and Brandon Sanderson. He would often read a book in one day, and talked about eventually becoming a writer himself."

That's...depressing. Not Brandon's name being mentioned, but...well, death in general, I guess, and death of 18-year-olds specifically. Sounds like a kid who had everything going for him.

That's too bad. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
