I spoke with one of his family members a few minutes ago. Very sad situation. Apparently Brandon was out with some friends after he got off of work. On his way home around 5 am he lost control of his car. Flipped a few times and hit a tree. Having lost a close family member my self recently, i know the pain that Brandon's dad, Kelly, and their family are going through. Please keep their family in your prayers. Brandon was truly a good guy.

yes he had pitched in australia. He was back in BR and he was waiting tables at texas de brazil. He had a dream of playin in the majors and tried his hardest to get there, but he was back in BR at this point in time. I was a buddy of his and all i know is it happened on bluebonnet saturday night. Hydroplane. He was a helluva guy and will be missed. RIP Kling

I never met him, but heard about him quite a few times. I have some friends that played with him at Delgado and UNO. Very sad. Prayers go out to his family.

I have known Brandon since I was in elementary school and played baseball with at Catholic. Brandon was a great guy who was a hell of a baseball player. My prayers go out to his parents and his sister.

Brandon was a great guy, a good guy. He was a good freind and person, and he will be missed. It is still such a shock, I just pray for his family that they're ok.

Brandon was always a cool dude, never saw him pitch, but he was a great competitor, and a badass ping pong player too. Much love B, we wont forget man....

I also knew Brandon and the Kling family. Like everyone else said, a great guy from a really wonderful family. I sat with his dad at the Alabama game a couple years ago and he is such a nice man. I can't imagine what they are going through.
