Brandon was born Sept. 25, 1980, in Anchorage, to Donald F. and Alicia (Menard) McManamy. At the time of his death he was a student at Colony High School in Palmer. According to his family, ''Brandon was a lifelong Alaskan who grew up on the shores of Finger Lake. He enjoyed being outdoors to fish and camp with his family and friends. Brandon was a quiet and thoughtful person who didn't say much but who always had a warm and loving smile for everyone he met. He attended Colony High School where he had many friends and he loved to hang out and play basketball. His friends will remember him as a generous and kind person who was ever ready to jump in and lend a hand when needed. He was described as polite, compassionate and generous by the many adults who knew him. ... His sense of humor was always ready to surface in unusual and unexpected ways.''
