Happy Birthday Brandon and to your sister Samantha too. You left us far too soon, Brandon. We will never forget you or what you have shown us.

Once an hero, always an hero. This holiday season you join the ranks of Mitchell Henderson, Cho Seung-Hui, and Megan Meier who died so that others may find joy in your sacrifice.

Thinking of Brandon and his family at what has to be their most difficult Christmas ever. We will always remember Brandon as the beautiful kid who brought so much joy to his family and friends. We will never forget you Brandon. We're always here for the Crisps. Love you guys!

I didnt know Brandon but I was devastated when I heard the news. I followed his story from beginning to end and cried and cried for his safe return. I just want his beautiful family to rebuild thier life after such a terrible loss. Brandon will always be with you.

You will always be an hero to me. This is really a tragic event.

Brandon was a good firend of mine, ever since i was 3. haha sadly i had a crush on him for like half my life. he was such a great kid the kind that no matter how dull the day can just always put a smile on your face. he was loved by everyone. He was probably one of the smallest kids i know and just chirped everyone haha but thats what made him him. the one thing i will never forget about Brandon was his sense of humor like i have never been with him and not been laughing the entire time he always had a smile on his face and wanted everyone else to have the same. His twin sister Samantha has also been my best friend forever and though you wouldn't see by just looking at them they love each other so much, it was so funny watching them argue because they would be completely screaming at each other maybe even beating each other up and two seconds later there best friends again, nothing could ever split them up and nothing ever will she knows that he is still with her just in a better place. i can't even imagine what she is going threw right now, if i lost my brother i can honestly say i would kill myself. like even this with brandon is just killing me, he didn't deserve this at all he was a a+ student super smart well liked good family its not fair. his mom has lost both her parents and now brandon in the past 2 years. she doesn't deserve this shes an amazing women i dont know how she does it. every single thing i do, every single thing i see reminds me of brandon. ughh brandon was like my man all threw elementary i was in love with him and we were good good friends and high school came and we didn't even talk much at all and i regret that so much i just wish i could have one more day, one more minute even just to be with him and tell him how much he means to me, how much he means to everyone.. to just say goodbye :'( to my hero; brandon crisp i just want you to know, i love you i always have and i always will be you have touched so many people, its incredible your legendary, i only wish you were here to see all these people all these people who love and care for you all these people who are here for not only you but your family all the love and support spread threw out the entire community all the families that you brought closer together all the friends that became reunited all the prayers prayed all the good you have done. you truly are my hero i love you we all do <3

You are right, Taylor and that's a very important point. People argue all the time...the best of friends and the closest of family. It does not mean that they don't love each other very much. In fact, some of the biggest arguments are between people people who love each other the most, because the mean the most to each other. The fact that Brandon and his sister always made up so quickly only proves that they love each other so much and never stayed angry for very long. Although I was never so fortunate as to meet Brandon, he strikes me as the kind of person who would never stay angry with anybody for very long...and nobody would stay angry with him. I'm sure he knows how much he means to you.

john drinkwater is a convicted pedophile, the only reason he is here is hes obsessed with that blond boy Brandon crisp! Watch out this perve was all over the Brandon Crisp groups on facebook, he's had several face book accounts suspended do to harassing minors as well!

Our hearts go out to this poor kid and his grieving family

You are an hero to us all. We will remember you. We will not forgets jew. I love you. Ryan Schallenberger.

Brandon and I would go to ebaumsworld and laugh at all the things in there, it truly was a great experience. Things like funny pear, red laser face, chain smoking burglar and other fun pictures were our pasttimes, BRANDON WE MISS U.!

Brandon Crisp used to attend my school, and even though I might have known Brandon for just a little while, he was one of the best friends I ever had, his family doesn't know me, due to starting being his friend just recently, but for all of you reading this, my name is Marcus Phoenix. I met Brandon one day at school, actually I was being bullied by some bigger kids, when he told them to stop. I don't know what it was, but the kids stopped and thus I met this great kid named Brandon. After school we would have a great time together, going on this website called 4chan, we'd laugh about Barrel Rolls, Shooping da Woop and losing the game all the time. Even though I didn't know you for long Brandon, I want to let everyone know that you changed my life. And I am grateful for it Rest in Peace my friend

Friday Nov 14th 2008 in Barrie, Ontario Canada

I may have never met anyone of you, but your short life in this world has touched my heart as nothing else.My prayers and love to your family. You are to live a long life ahead in heaven with those who are already there. You will be missed. I want to dedicate a story to you as well as your family. For the messages you want them to know, the world to know. Love Sara.

A story would be a wonderful idea. There are many issues and challenges that face children today. In schools, we encourage children to read and talk about such things. With a dedication to Brandon and his family, such a story (or even a series of stories)would be very welcome in any classroom.

Phil, how welcome are mentor parents like me wanted in a classroom? The school boards here versus the USA are too restrictive. C.W Jeffreys where I spoke on Black History Month wanted me to come more often. Toronto School Board said all parents have to go thru background checks and they will call me. That was in Feb 2008. I am still waiting for my background check. I arrived in this country on a chaotic afternoon when Jordan Manners was gunned down in that very school. Now they have another stabbing in that very school last week. What my husband said he would have liked was for Brandon to talk about it in school to maybe a counselor but at the same time who even wants the school all in their home business as they also call the child services on you!

We are praying for you Brandon and your family. You are with God and the Angels. You will always be remembered. Christopher/Ashley & Family

I never knew Brandon or any family or friends. This story has touched my heart like no other. My condolences to everyone that was blessed to have known him and his family. I was one of the volunteers helping to find Brandon, I am sorry we did not find him sooner. May God bless Brandon and my god put his arms around those mourning.

Rest in peace Brandon. You didn't have a long life but it's obvious that you lived your life to the fullest and touched a lot of people along the way. To the Crisp family, my deepest heartfelt sympathies. I can't imagine stearing into the abyss of grief that must come from losing a child. May God bless you and keep you and may the certain knowledge that you will one day be reunited with Brandon bring you comfort.

today we all said goodbye to you for the last time. it was the hardest thing ever, we will never forget you. you where amazing in so many ways, you touched everyone. i looove you bc, forever in my heart. just gets harder everyday. not a day goes by i dont think of you. watch over us. never leave our side. grow your wings and fly bc, its your time to shine <3. friends forever; Kendall.

My friends and family in the U.S. pray for you and yours. Today you put your son to rest. He is at peace. Through God, may you find the peace and strength to bear your pain.

very sorry for you deep loss, I definitely understand the pain you are going through. Hope you can find the strength to go on, and keep his memory alive, I know you will heal. our prayers are with you always.

I am so sorry about your son. My heart goes out to you and breaks for you.Draw from the strength of the many people throughout Canada, that are with you in spirit and are sharing your tears in their hearts, even if we did not know you are your wonderful son personally. If it takes a community to raise a child it takes a community to say goodbye to him and be with those he left behind. God bless you and keep you.

Words are hard to find. I am only imagining the pain of your loss and that seems unbearable enough. I wish you peace and healing in the months ahead so that you can begin to remember the true spirit of Brandon. I did not know Brandon but he has touched me deeply and he is someone I will remember always.

I cant believe your gone. you were so wonderful. You never were the person who would give somebdoy up, let them down. Run around and desert them. You didnt make people cry or tell a lie and hurt them. You were an Hero.

i'm so sorry for your son. even though he did not go to our school he was still abart of everyones lives. Brandon was, is and will forever be a hero. The city of Barrie will never be the same. i'm sorry.

I know you will miss your son Brandon greatly. During this difficult time, I know you will draw upon your own strength and the strength of loved ones that hold you in their thoughts.........REST IN PEACE BRANDON......YOU ARE LOVED BY MANY.

Just wanted to say God Bless to the Crisp Family,........so sorry for your loss...Rest In Peace Brandon,... you are loved by many.

Brandon we never met in person, but you have touched the hearts of so many. The world over has been thinking of you and your family. We tried to light the world for you to see to make it easier to find your way home, but the good Lord needed you with Him, to join his heavenly choir. As you sing in the Angel Choir, look down and guide your family thru this time of sorrow, and help to bring them peace thru their journey till you are all reunited in God's House. You are now a light in the sky guiding them on their way. Bless you and rest with the Lord forever.

You will always be an hero to me. Goodnight Sweet Prince. Your Tour of Duty has ended too short.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time...a very good quote to share with you that I hope may give you strength.... "Count your blessings not your losses"

Even though we had never met my heart aches for you all. We have all been following this tragic story hoping for a happy ending. The entire country mourns with you and our hearts are with you during this tragic time. There is one more golden angel watching from the stars above. Rest in peace Brandon, and may the Crisp family find comfort in the thought that an entire nation cares and is griving with them

A tragic accident that took a beautiful boys life. The country has embraced him as their own. The angels have surely taken him under their wings and will embrace him as we have keeping him safe until he is reunited with those he loved.

I did not know Brandon, but his spirit followed me night and day and I prayed so much that he would come home. Despite the tragic circumstances of his return, at least he did come home. Some missing children never find their way home.

From lazor chargin' to barrel rolling, your friends in COD4 will never give you up or let you down. -Dave -7th level Prestige -Clan Bel-Air
