Brandon married a girl from Texas, and they resided near the division's home base at Fort Hood, Texas. He was a member of the Tazewell High band and Green T singers while attending Tazewell High School. He was homecoming king during his senior year who could make people's ribs ache from laughter. As a sophomore, in a play called "Hollywood Hillbillies," Asbury played a character called Bubba to such comic perfection that members of the choir thereafter called him by the name. In school, Brandon Asbury sang in the choir, played in the band and performed in plays. During his senior year, his good-natured personality prompted students to elect him the homecoming grand marshal, the school's version of homecoming king. He came from a military family. His father, Army National Guardsman Walt Asbury, returned to Tazewell County in 2005 after serving a year in Iraq.His military awards and decorations include the Army Service Ribbon, Army Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Iraq Campaign Medal and the Combat Action Badge.
