Brand was a big-hearted person and helped people out whenever he could. Brand is now with family and friends where he always longed for the peace he felt when his accident happened in 1992. Brand is now with the Lord. He will be missed. As he always said Angel dont worry, leave it in the Lords hands, have faith!
