Whitney, Brandon Michael

23, passed away on February 16, 2014. Brandon was born to Tami and William Whitney in Denver, Colorado on April 9, 1990 and was raised here in the East Valley in Gilbert, AZ. Brandon was a wonderfully creative musician and had a love for cooking. He was an extremely artistic talent with a very quick wit and wonderful sense of humor. His aspirations were of being a famous musician one day. Brandon’s cooking ability transformed taste and style to make many unique delectable sauces to accompany many delicious dishes. As a person he constantly had other people come first by helping any and all people who had less than he. His impact as a genuine warm person was very profound to many. Brandon is survived by his mother, father, and his two brothers Blake and Brent Whitney; his grandmother and grandfather, Kerma and Jim Pascavis; and grandmother, Phyllis Whitney. Brandon has a very extensive tight loving family including many aunts, uncles and cousins. He touched a very large group of friends who loved and cared for him very much. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to be made to the Wounded Warrior Project or the Arizona Humane Society. Brandon was an organ donor and was able to contribute immensely to this cause. He would love for all to consider this wonderful gift as a last very personal gesture as they leave this world one day.
