Brandon mentioned in an obituary
« 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."

"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." - Albus Dumbledore

"It is important to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then can evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated." - Albus Dumbledore

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.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!
