Brandon Mitchell Lanie “Buddy” died tragically at the tender age of 14 when he was mistaken for a deer while deer hunting on November 18, 2006. Brandon was a freshman in High School. He was an avid hunter and fisherman and had such a love for the outdoors and more patience than most people can even understand.
The BLESS organization was established to help build a better outdoors through education and awareness. We believe this was a very preventable tragedy, losing a child is an unimaginable nightmare. If BLESS can help prevent another family from losing a child, or any loved one, then we feel we have accomplished our goal.
If everyone were as safety conscious as Brandon was, tragedies such as this could be prevented.
BLESS is a non-profit, 501(C)3 corporation.
