To Officer Kountz's parents, my sincere condolences on the untimely death of your son, Brandon, who died while doing his job. Your son did well in life and worked in a honorable professional.

26 is far too young and in 11 months you didn't even have a chance to show what you were truly capable of. Your family's loss is a loss we all have. God bless all those you leave behind and may he give them strength to carry on. I know so long as you remain in their hearts and minds, you will truly never be far from them.

Forever Rest in Peace, Brother.
