Brandon Andrade

It is with great sadness that we announce the tragic passing of our precious son Francisco Luis-Brandon Quintero Andrade due to a horrific seizure on Friday, August 30, 2024, at the very young age of 26.

Brandon Andrade was born on Saturday, May 23, 1998, at 12:32 PM at Pioneer Valley Hospital in West Valley City, Utah. He was born to his loving parents Kellie Nichole Helms (19) and Luis Alberto Quintero (19). It was complete love at first sight. 

Brandon and his mama share an inseparable loving bond that will last for eternity! 

Even without my words you always know what I need. When I am hurting or afraid, frustrated, or even mad, you gather me and pick me up into the safety of your arms. you always know what makes me smile and you constantly fill my face with light. You fill my heart with happiness when you sing my favorite songs and we listen to our Spanish and 80's music together. When we walk side by side we look at each other with sure pure love! I always need to feel your warmth of your body next to mine, especially when we give each other bear hugs and you tuck me in at night.

You've always stood up for me against all others no matter the consequences. You've always believed in me no matter what. Your extreme pure true real love has been and will always be unconditional! We're never standing still you're always so very protective.

Dear Mom Mama, I'm wrapping my arms tightly around you and I always will. With you Mom I lived the fullest life possible. Lagoon Rides, haunted houses, running barefoot through the sand to jump into the ocean holding my hand, going on train rides, going to Disneyland and Universal Studios. Taking me on an airplane rides several times while holding my hand very tightly. Horseback riding several times, going to the movies, and one of my favorites going to Wendover and Las Vegas, to hear the machines and see the lights. I was lucky to grow up with you and see the world right by your side.

My dearest beautiful precious son Brandon I'm so very grateful you chose me to be your mother. I love you with my entire being, With all my heart and soul to the moon, stars and back again infinity!

Brandon absolutely loved to laugh and smile always throughout the day. Brandon touched so many people's lives. Those who knew him were very blessed. Brandon was fascinated with his Spanish and 80's music. He loved to shake his butt and dance. He loved to jump up and down. He loved having his beads, strings, bags, chips, beef jerky, and candy his his hands at all times. Now let's not forget his Coca-Cola and Cheetos. They were permanently attached to his hands! His most favorite thing to carry in his hands was really his jump rope. May I add that he would carry all of the above all at once every single day. That's just how Brandon rolled!

Brandon absolutely loved going to school each and every day. He loved all of his friends and teachers that he went to the same school with his whole entire life. All the way from Kindergarten to 12th grade. Plus an extra 4 years until he was 22 years old. in 2020 when he graduated and received his diploma. His momma was so very proud! He loved riding the bus and loved his bus drivers. He also loved swimming at his school on a daily basis. That was his thing!

Brandon also loved pickles, especially the juice. He loved eating whole raw onions.He also could down a hot jar of salsa in one sitting. Brandon loved dumping sugar everywhere and eating it with a spoon right out of the bag. He absolutely liked to make a mess, however he was super clean and could never be dirty. He absolutely loved to be Sexy-y-Guapo!

His new favorite thing was to carry a lot of extra garbage with nothing in it!

Brandon's most important thing was to always be with his family. He was never alone, and he was an absolute mama's boy!

Brandon is survived by his parents Kellie (mom) and Pablo (dad) Andrade. His brothers Giovani and Axel Andrade. His grandparents Jennifer Sharo and Randy Helms. His Aunt Jamie, uncle Manuel, his godmother Candy Woodard Reyes and his many many cousins.

Brandon is preceded in death by his uncle Travis Brandon Helms, whom he was named after. His great-grandmother Marion Bryant, and his great-grandfather Ralph Helms. His grandmother Donna Helms, his grandfather John Sharo Jr. his great aunt Sherry, his godmother Tenneal Torres and his grandfather Guadalupe Andrade, and his grandmother Clementina Jazmin Villa.

Brandon will be truly missed and forever in our hearts!
