Brandon Birch

Panguitch, Utah

On September 24, 2016 our loving son, brother, uncle, and grandson, Richard Brandon Birch, was taken too early from this mortality back to his eternal Heavenly home. He passed away in Panguitch, Utah. Brandon was born July 8, 1993 in Cheyenne, Wyoming, the son of Richard and Teresa Birch. He graduated Panguitch High School in 2012 where he participated in wrestling, baseball, cross country, track, basketball, golf, and debate. He was part of many region and state championship teams.

Brandon’s love for his sisters was always surrounded with smiles and happiness. His favorite thing was to show each of them his wrestling moves and tickle them unconditionally. He had an aptitude for quick learning and helping hands.

Brandon had a passion for hunting, fishing, hiking and camping. Utah and Colorado were some of his most memorable hours spent with his dad during hunting season. He also loved Lake Powell where he could enjoy spring fishing and master backflips on his wakeboard.

Brandon’s love for his nieces and nephews will never be forgotten. His continuous hugs for his mom and dad will hold a special place in our hearts. His demeanor was never short of compassion and showed true kindness towards every person he encountered. He will always be known for his loving smile, outgoing personality, and his kindness.
