Tommy and Mollie Watson of Griffin, GA; sister Brittany Stephens (Eli) of Denver, CO, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandparents James Melbourne Knight and Doris Mizell McKenzie.

Brandon Knight was always in the movie theater to see the opening of new movies. You can bet he would have on his matching hat and was color coordinated all the way down to his pair of tennis shoes which he had to match every outfit. He was a snazzy dresser and you knew underneath all that he was always packing. He loved guns and going to shoot was a favorite hobby of his. Brandon was a diehard Florida Gators fan and loved SEC football. Brandon’s love of all genres of music especially hip hop and cheerleading was widely known. Brandon staffed one summer for Elite Cheer in PA and six summers for Fellowship of Christian Cheerleaders. He traveled across the country doing cheer camps and sharing Jesus with many young athletes. During college, he worked at American Cheerleading Centers/Bama Allstarz in Birmingham and Cheer Force One in Mobile. After moving to Tupelo, Brandon owned and operated Southern Heat All Star Cheerleading and Knight Sounds Entertainment. He also worked part time at The Buckle.

Pallbearers are Steven Durrence, Derrick Johnson, Shelby McCullar, Jeff Smith, Chris Lewis, and Perry Stanford.
