Brandon Robinson was killed while riding his motorcycle to work near Evanston Wyoming late last month. I learned about his death from a mutual friend just yesterday. I loved and admired Elder Robinson as I know many others of you who served with him did. He was a hardworking and loving missionary. I remember him as being a joyful person who lifted me a number of times as a new missionary.
I have included his obituary which can be seen at www.vernal.com
