Brandon worked as a realtor in the Austin area for several years.

He experienced great joy in helping his clients achieve their goal of being a homeowner. Brandon was such a positive person who was so full of life. He was always smiling and his infectious laughter will be missed by all. He was truly an inspiration to those who were fortunate enough to know him. Brandon's philosophy of life was to "seize the moment and live every day like it was your last."

I only knew Brandon a referral of a friend that he forwarded me a short time ago. As our worlds are so different I know that he is/was a true professional. I cherish the short time that we were acquainted and only wish we should have talked more. My thoughts and prayer are with his family and friends as they/we all mourn the loss.

There are some who bring a LIGHT so great to the world that even after they have gone their LIGHT remains. Brandon's LIGHT shone brightly and the impact of his life will remain in the hearts and minds of all who knew him for he touched many lives as he walked amongst us. One of his favorite quotes was: "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." --- Ralph Waldo Emerson. My mother and I had the privilege of knowing this loving soul and he will indeed be dearly missed. Brandon left this earth knowing that he was loved and that is a testament to Celinda, Armando and Gabe. The love and compassion of the Martinez family has touched many lives and we pray God will surround them with the comfort and love only He can provide at this time. We will strive to be as good and kind a soul as our precious Brandon and we thank God for the gift of his life. Our love and deepest condolences to Celinda, Armando, Gabe, Mary Medina and their entire family for this tragic loss.
