Brandon M. Smith, 31, of South Bend was killed on December 19, 2021 in a senseless act of gun violence. Our son's life ended almost instantly while trying to save someone he loved. He was unexpectedly taken from his parents, family, and friends.
Brandon was an amazing, funny, intelligent, loving, dependable, and compassionate young man. He loved us all with every meaning of his beautiful soul. If you needed anything, he was there no matter what. Family and friends were always first in his beautiful eyes. He is the best person we have ever known and we are so proud to say he is our son. He will live on through everyone he touched during his short life. He was our rock and is already greatly missed.

Brandon was the most devoted person you could ever meet. He loved to travel and to ride his Harley. He loved to fish, kayak, and ride snowmobiles and ATVs. He loved cars; especially his Monte Carlo. He loved to go deer hunting with his uncle Joe and cousin James. He would spend as much time as he could with family and friends. Brandon was someone you could count on day or night. He was a major Notre Dame fan. He will be deeply missed by his family, his friends, and by all that knew him.
