In Memory of Brandon Mitchell Lanie 1992-2006
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.
FROM THE FAMILY
If we could have a lifetime wish
and one dream that could come true
We would pray to God with all our
hearts just to see and speak to you
A thousand words won’t bring you back
We know because we’ve tried
and neither will a million tears
We know because we’ve cried
You’ve left behind our broken hearts
and precious memories too
But we’ve never wanted memories
We only wanted you
Love your family
