Dean Brannon was born June 8, 1985 in Panama City, FL to Ignatius Brannon and Elizabeth Andrews. At the age of 7, Dean moved with his family to Minnesota. He was a 2004 graduate of RTR High School. Following graduation he moved back to Florida to be with family, before returning to his home in Marshall. His curiosity drove him to become intuitive about the world around him. He was interested in electronics and discovering how they worked. He enjoyed watching racing and singing to his favorite country artists. He had several close friends that meant the world to him; he liked to hang out and grill with them. Most important to Dean was the time he was able to spend with his family. Even though his life was short and he had struggles, Dean was able to live every moment, laugh every day and love beyond words.
After a lifelong battle of seizures, Dean died at his home on Sunday, March 31, 2013.
