The family of Brandon Ponton, an 18-year-old man who tragically died following a road traffic collision in Milton Keynes, on Sunday July 28, have released a tribute to him.
“In memory of Brandon Ponton 2006 – 2024.
“Late on Wednesday 31st July, Brandon sadly passed away following a collision in Milton Keynes on Sunday 28th July, whilst on his way to meet his friends.
“He was just 18-years-young, a special, vibrant, intelligent and talented boy taken far too soon.
“Brandon, being the amazing young man that he was, was a registered organ donor, and with the support of his family, his Dad Wayne, step mum Samm and sisters Kayleigh and Danniella, Brandon’s final farewell was to give three other families another opportunity to be with their loved ones.
“This decision has given three people a second chance of life, from a young man who made the bravest of choices at such a young age.
“To those that knew him, this is no surprise. Brandon was kind and generous, always, and he understood the pain of losing a loved one.
“At only nine-years-old, Brandon lost his mum, Tracey, to cancer and his tragic passing set in motion a legacy that Brandon would have been proud of.
“Brandon was always full of life, with an innocent maturity that only his family and friends truly understood.
"A talented musician, Brandon loved to rock out with his friends, having taught himself the guitar, he loved nothing more that performing, sharing his talent, having fun, and being the centre of attention.
"Brandon was flamboyant and touched so many lives in such a short time, he will be missed by so many, for so long.
“Brandon’s family and friends ask for their privacy to be respected whilst they send him on his way to be reunited with him mum in a fitting celebration that is worthy of his memory, and the legacy that he has created.
“Rest-in-peace Brandon, we love you always and forever, and miss you dearly x."
