What others said about B.J.:

“From the first day that I met Brant I could tell he was a special person. He touched everyone’s lives and his determination and dedication rubbed off on every person that he came in contact with. He always came to work with a smile on his face and was ready to work no matter how tired or sick he felt from his treatment. I will never forget his positive attitude. Brant never had a bad thing to say about anyone, I admired him for that. He was always willing to go out of his way to help people. I hope each Student Ambassador at Barton County Community College can take something from Brant’s life and use it in their own experiences.”

“Brant was a dependable student. You could always count on him showing up for work and more importantly, showing up with a smile. He never complained of his illness. He just wanted to hang with his friends as college kids do and experience the college life as a student, athlete, and student ambassador. He spoke highly of his family, loved sports, liked a good practical joke and was a very smart young man. He would have made a terrific pharmacist. Brant made me a better person in simply knowing him and being around him.”

“I had so much admiration for him and learned a lot about determination from him.”

“He was the best of the best!”
