In Memory of
Brandon Lee
-

Our Beloved Son, Brother and Uncle, Brandon Lee, was born June 21, 1994 in Houston, Texas and raised there by his proud parents Jamal & Celeste Lee. Brandon was Baptized and made his First Communion at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. Brandon attended Cy-Fair ISD & graduated from Cypress Falls High School as an early graduate at the age of 16. Following graduation, Brandon continued his education at Lone Star Community College.

Brandon was very involved at school and was a member of many organizations and clubs throughout his high school years including JROTC, JROTC Rocketry, Kitty Hawk National Honor Society, Orchestra, German Club, and the African American Club. Some of Brandon’s other interests were exercising, running and roller- blading.

Brandon’s greatest passion was playing video games with his brother, cousins and friends. He also had a love for music and technology and valued his privacy. Like most young men, he had a broad range of career interests and his most recent field of interest was high finance. Brandon also dreamed of becoming a rapper and kept a journal of lyrics on his i-pad. Brandon had a goal of becoming rich through hard work.

Brandon’s young life is the story of a warrior. Born premature, he came into the world fighting to survive and he continued to fight against any obstacle that life placed in his path. As a young child, he struggled through illness and as he grew older, he persevered through a variety of medical challenges. His strength and spirit carried him through those traumatic teen years when so many young people struggle to find their own way. With the support and love of his family, Brandon stood strong and was just now beginning to forge his own way and find his place in the world.

Brandon went home to meet his Lord and Savior November 2, 2012 and is preceded in death by: Donald Lee Jr., Otilia Roman, Donald (Papa) Lee Sr. and Jean (Bama) Lee, and Andrew (Buddy) and Inez Sanders.

Brandon is survived by his parents Jamal & Celeste Lee, Brother Jacob Lee (Tori), Sister Marissa Lee, Niece Isabelle Lee, Grandparents Jose & Janie Martinez; Dennis & Brenda Wise; Jessica Martinez; Uncle Kiki, Derek, Paul, Isaac, Chabolla & Jose; Aunt Suzette & Valerie.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made to Generation Rescue.

Brandon.........
I will not tie yourself to you with tears but only
happiness for the years we had. I send you my love, and
you can only guess, how much love and happiness you gave us all in return. I thank you for the time and the memories you have given us all, but now it is time you travel alone. We let our grief be comforted by trust, for it is only for a while that we must part, so we bless those memories within our hearts. You will not be far away, for life goes on, I know you will be near and if we listen with our hearts, we will hear all of your love around us, soft and clear. And when it's time for us to come your way, you will be there to greet us with a smile and say “Welcome Home”

We love you Brandon,

Great Aunt Blanca

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven, here I dwell with God above
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight;
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon, and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

"It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone,
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you are part of my plan,
There's so much that we have to do to help out mortal man."
God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do
And foremost on my list is to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night; the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you, in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all of those missed years,
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain,
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned,
But if I were to tell you that, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain though, my life on earth is o'er,
I'm closer to you now than ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb,
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
There is a very wise philosophy and I'd like to share it with you,
That as you give unto the world, the world will give unto you.
If you can help somebody who is in sorrow and pain,
Then you can say to God at night, "My day was not in vain.
And now I am contented, that my life is worthwhile,
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile."

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
Just lend them your hand to pick them up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go, for that body to be free,,
Remember you're not going, You're coming here to me.

Hi, Brandon
Your mother asked me several times did I want to say something about you I told her I would love too, but I would only get to my first word and start to cry because if anybody out of my family I'm the big cry baby. I do want you to know how special you are to me and will always be special in my heart. I will never forget September 30, 2012 when you asked me if I could take you to Grandmas house and I said yes I got the biggest hug and kiss from you and on the way to grandmas we got to talk. I also want you to know I will always be there for your mother and father, sister and brother. Brandon Lee you are so missed and loved!!!!
Love you forever your aunt Suzette and uncle Bobby <3

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.

If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them.

Brandon you will be missed dearly & forever in my heart. May you R.I.P

Love you always

I will let you know that you are missed, loved, will never be forgotten and will be always in our hearts, as my nephew, a good brother, son, and uncle, as well as a grandson taken to soon. I love you, I will see you again someday.

My dear sweet great-nephew Brandon,
My heart breaks at your loss. You were always special to me because (good or bad) you always reminded me so much of my brother, your grandfather. Disbelief still haunts me and my heart breaks for your mom and dad and your sisters and brother. What comforts me now is that you are with BaMa and PaPa and Don and I know that you all watch over the rest of us. Rest in peace, sweet boy, until we meet again. Love you always.

I think you know that you always had a special place in my heart. I saw so much promise from you, and I loved being your teacher. I enjoyed it when you would stay after school with me to either do work or just talk. My heart breaks that you were taken from us so soon. You were truly loved by so many.

Brandon,
God placed many challenges and test before you in your too few years with us. Who would have expected such heart and determination from such a gentle soul? Although we pray and cry at your departure, and want you to stay, God knows better and wants you for Himself.
We miss you already. See you in Heaven.
All our love,

I wish I had the words to bring your mom, dad, Jacob and Marissa peace. I wish God didn't call you so soon, still hard to believe. Sweetheart we'll meet again. Remembering you Brandon, in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
"When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure."

When we lose someone we love,
We learn to trust somehow
That a new life in a brighter place
Is just beginning now..
A place of grace and peace and joy
Beyond all time and sorrow,
Where loving hearts who part today
Will meet again tomorrow.

My dearest grandson, Brandon. Oh how I miss you. I offer this prayer for your mother and father.

Prayer for Those Who Suffer

For those who suffer
and those who cry this night,
give them repose, Lord;
a pause in their burdens.
Let there be minutes
where they experience peace,
not of man
but of angels.
Love them, Lord,
when others cannot.
Hold them, Lord,
when we fail with human arms.
Hear their prayers
and give them the ability to hear You back
in whatever language they best understand.

I Love you.

Oma
