Brandon

Gary

Brandon Turon Gary, 41, passed away on April 18, 2026, in Fort Worth, Texas. He was born on July 3, 1984, in Toledo, Ohio, to Carolyn Sims and Reginald Gary.

Brandon graduated from Whiteford Agricultural High School in Ottawa Lake, Michigan, and went on to become a welder—a career he loved and dedicated more than 25 years to.

Brandon was someone people naturally gravitated toward. His presence lit up every room, and his contagious laugh brought joy to everyone around him. He deeply loved spending time with family and friends, always creating moments filled with laughter and lasting memories.

Being a father was one of his greatest joys. Brandon coached his son's football team and cherished every moment with his children—whether fishing, going to the movies, or simply enjoying life's adventures together. In his free time, he enjoyed fixing up cars, going to car shows, and expressing himself through poetry and drawing.

A loving, attentive, and proud father, he is survived by his children, Brooklynn and Brycen Gary; his sister, Brittany Walugembe (Patrick); his nephews, Bakari, Elijah, and Malachi; and a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins whom he adored.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Carolyn Sims; his father, Reginald Gary; and his beloved grandmother, Ida Lee Waterford.
