Brandon Russell Conn Ritchie, age 36, born May 14, 1985, passed away unexpectedly Monday, November 1, 2021.
Brandon loved playing the bass guitar on stage in front of crowds. Years ago, he was the bass guitar player for the band “Drop Kick Billy.” When he wasn’t playing the guitar, he loved spending time with his three children and his fur babies, Mister and Artimus. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He was a kind heart and was willing to lend a helping hand who was known as a jack of all trades, but perfect at none.
