Brandon Gleason

July 3, 1995 — April 27, 2013

ENOSBURG FALLS - Brandon Allen Gleason, age 17, passed away unexpectedly Saturday, April 27, 2013.

Brandon was born July 3, 1995 in St. Albans the son of William Gleason and the late Townya Allen.

Brandon was in his senior year at Enosburg Falls High School where he was a member of the Varsity Basketball Team (1,000 point scorer and Mountain Division Player of the Year) and Volleyball Team (Consecutive MVP of the State Championship Game the last 3 years). On the court Brandon was calm and collected, no matter what type of circumstance he was in. He kept the crowd on the edge of their seats with his explosive, yet effortless, and at most times unbelievable moves. His unassuming demeanor belied the powerhouse that he really was. Brandons goals after high school were to join his brother in the U.S. Air Force and then to become a teacher.

Everyone that met Brandon became a friend. His smiling, loving, easy going nature brought the best out in everyone that knew him. He was a role model and inspiration to younger children who looked up to him wanting to emulate his selfless and generous character. No matter who you were or where you were from he accepted you into his heart.

He is survived by his father, William Gleason and his wife Barbara; his siblings, Maria Gleason, William Will Gleason and Devyn Gleason all of Enosburg Falls; maternal grandparents, Roy Jr Buddy & Sheila Allen of Bakersfield; paternal grandparents, Robert & Yvette Gleason of Enosburg Falls and Bill & Linda
Baker of No. Hero; maternal great grandparents, Rose Allen of Bakersfield & Catherine Thomas of Essex Jct; & paternal great grandparents, Jack & Irene Raymond; many aunts, uncles & cousins. Brandon was predeceased by his mother, Townya Allen on October 8, 2002.

A celebration of Brandons life will be held Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 3:00 PM at the Enosburg Falls High School Gym, Dickinson Ave., Enosburg Falls. Brandon will be laid to rest next to his mother in a private committal at the Maple Grove Cemetery in Bakersfield. There will be no visiting hours.
