Born November 8, 1986, Brandon was, from day one, an important part of many people’s lives. This young man, living only a short time, had a presence that will always be remembered.
He was special in a way that no one could replicate. A class clown, who, as many people will remember, could make anyone laugh (roofies, burnouts, hot karls, fireworks, the tickle bug, the little man outside, scoobies, core, low-riders, deformed science books, Johnny pants, generic) and also was a truly caring person who was always there for his friends and his families; he had a heart of gold that shined through the goofiness. After his father, Dan Stonionis, passed away in 2008, his gentle nature could be seen even more along with the strength in remembering someone through memories while trying to live life to its fullest and “making his father proud”.
Brandon, for elementary school, attended Byron, Bamber Valley, Sunset Terrace and Lincoln Choice School. He continued at Lincoln throughout middle school and then graduated from Mayo High School in 2005. Brandon had various jobs while growing up. His first job was at Brother’s Bar and Grill. He also worked for Jeff Meyeraan, siding homes and Tilley’s Tavern in Oronoco as a cook for 3 years. Brandon earned a scholarship through the Rotary STRIVE Program through the Rochester school district. He attended and graduated from Dakota County Technical College as an electrical lineworker. He was immediately hired through ComEd, Excellon Corporation in Chicago Illinois as an apprentice electrical line worker. He continued schooling through the company and earned his journeyman license and worked as a transmission overhead journeyman lineman. He worked for the company for three and a half years.
He enjoyed shooting pool, riding his Harley Davidson, Motocross, Nascar (Jeff Gordon), fishing, hunting, trips to Northern Minnesota, golf, guitar and Dumb and Dumber.
I loved Brandon so much. He was such a special boy and a beautiful man. When he died, part of me died also...but, He will forever be a part of my heart! Always and forever...
2 years...
I doesn't get any easier missing you...I still find myself crying at times. The pain is just as real, it's just better handled now.
My heart is still not whole, the loss will always be there. Danielle helps fill me with her wonderful experiences and constant life inquiries. She is my drive...my reason for so much of my life.
Never without pride in my heart for the man you became to be...
I love you always, my son Brandon
My boy...
I am just sitting here thinking about you Brandon. I know your Gramma Anderson just passed over the rainbow to Heaven and is with you now. I didn't cry yesterday when I found out she died...I felt a lot of peace knowing she is with you and your Daddy now. I know you love Gramma so very much and I know she missed you. You are together again now :)
I do cry a lot when I think about you being gone...I miss you sooo much! I wish we could have talked Brandon...I would have told you how much I love you and how truly PROUD I am of you! You are such a beautiful person and my God, do I love you and miss you! No matter what happened, you KNEW that I LOVED you!!! And all I want is your happiness...and I know you are at peace and you are happy being with your Daddy...and that does help me with understanding. I will treasure your memories sweetheart...and I will look for signs from you...Give Greena and Daddy a hug for me. I send you a big HUGE hug and kiss to you...I can see your smile forever in my mind! I love you!
Mommy, aka Monkey :)

The heading "Spark"
I had to change the heading picture to an electrical spark...I was debating weather to use the "fireworks" heading or the "electrical spark"...LOL...to all those who know!
That was especially for you Brandon!
