It was an honour and a privilege getting to work with Brandon, and we will all miss him dearly. Extending my deepest condolences to everyone who knew and loved him.
Hi, friends. Shaysters here. It is with a heavy heart to post that our beloved SuperBlindMan is no longer with us as of today. @MistyRayburn was there by his side. Please allow her some time to grieve and be able to answer questions.
