Brandon Gonzalez born March 9, 2001 in Port Jervis NY, passed away peacefully surrounded by family.
Brandon is a 2020 Valley Central high school graduate. Brandon spent most of his teen years in foster care and making his own family. Before foster care he lived with his grandparents with his half siblings Cherise and Paul. They were all separated after his grandfather Louis Hull passed away in 2011. He saw his grandfather as his father figure as he raised him until the age of 11. Brandon found love and support in those he called family. Brandon was a jokester, who loved making all those around him laugh. His free time was spent enjoying computer and video games with his friends and family. Brandon thanks his foster parents for their time and support throughout the years. Sandy and James Kimble were a family from the foster care system that really helped Brandon. They got him and Paul living together and helped them form a bond that they couldn’t as kids
Brandon is survived by his “Mom” Tammy Rhinehart (Gabriel Small), Second “Mom” Dina Price and (Kader Junior) “Siblings” Kader M Price III, Caelinn Armbruster, Justin Armbruster, Collin Rhinehart, Thomas Price, Nicholas price, and Lacey price all of Walden NY. His brother Paul Gonzalez and sister, Cherise Gonzalez of Liberty NY. His Nonny and Poppy Deb and Jon Hansen of Cape Coral Florida as well as many friends, and Foster Family members.
At Brandon’s request he will be cremated and a private celebration of life will be held. In lieu of flowers please make a donation in Brandon’s name to Hudson Valley St Baldricks Foundation.
