Heaven gained a warrior 🎗️🧡💔
Copied from Branson’s FB Page:
Our days are written in His book.
Psalm 139:16: “Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.”
On 10/16/25 at 11:08am (Central European Time) our brave, beautiful boy took his final breath and ran straight into the arms of Jesus. A boy far too perfect for this cruel world. After fighting the hardest, bravest, most excruciating battle a child could ever face, his body finally rested…not because of any single illness but because it had simply endured more than any body ever should. His laughter, his light, and his love will never fade.
There are no words that could ever describe this kind of pain. It feels impossible to breathe, impossible to think, impossible to imagine a world without him in it. But even through our heartbreak, we take comfort in knowing that Heaven gained the most radiant soul it has ever seen.
Branson was truly one of a kind. He lived life full throttle. All heart, all joy, all in. He wasn’t just the life of the party, he was the party. If Branson was around, you knew it. His laugh filled every room. His energy was magnetic. He never met a stranger, and he never let anyone feel left out. He could turn an ordinary day into something unforgettable with just a grin and that mischievous sparkle in his eyes.
He was a protector of his friends, his siblings, and anyone who needed him. He was the leader of the pack, the one everyone looked to. He set trends, broke rules in the best ways, and did everything with a passion that made people want to do better and be better just by knowing him. He was the first to volunteer, the first to cheer others on, and the last to ever give up. And you would not catch him complaining. He was all in with a smile on his face, determined to conquer anything he set his mind to.
Even when cancer tried to steal his strength, it never once touched his spirit. He faced every single day with courage, humor, and a heart that refused to quit. His bravery was unmatched. He smiled through pain, laughed through fear, and kept fighting long after most would have given up.
In just 11 short years, Branson touched more lives than most people do in a lifetime. He showed us what true strength looks like. He taught us to find joy even in the darkest moments. He reminded us that life isn’t about how long we get to live, it’s about how fiercely we love while we’re here.
I have shared our journey not for recognition but to touch lives, to encourage and to remind people of the power of love, resilience, and faith. To show that even in unimaginable pain…beauty, light, and hope can shine through. Branson’s story was never just ours. It was meant to inspire, to move hearts, lead others to Christ and to remind everyone that EVERY moment with the people we love is precious beyond measure.
As our family begins to navigate life without him, we kindly ask for privacy while we cope with the unimaginable. We have stepped away from social media for this very reason…to grieve, to process, and to simply breathe in the quiet. We know how deeply Branson is loved and how many lives he’s touched, but please respect our need for space and refrain from reaching out directly during this time. The greatest way to honor him right now is to live out the lessons he taught us…to be kind, to love hard, and to carry his light forward.
We will spend the rest of our lives missing him, aching for him, and trying to live in a way that honors who he was. Our family will never be the same. A piece of our hearts will always be with him. But we want the world to know his name, his story, and his light.
So please, if you loved Branson, LIVE LIKE BRANSON. Be brave. Be kind. Include everyone. Protect the ones you love. Laugh hard. Love harder. Chase life with everything you have. Never back down. Always leave people better than you found them.
Heaven gained one hell of a warrior and this world lost a once in a lifetime soul. We love you forever, Branson Wayne. You were our sunshine, our heartbeat and our hero. We can’t wait to be reunited for eternity.
