Brandon James Hamilton was born Dec. 14, 1982, in Iowa City. Growing up in Iowa City he enjoyed so many things along the way. He liked the outdoors, going fishing, cheering on the Minnesota Vikings and the Iowa Hawkeyes, being with his family and friends and if you knew Brandon at all you knew his passion for music. He was gifted with the talent of singing and playing music and he developed this into a career with his business, Infinity DJ services. As a man who always thought to help others, he had been an active member of the Loyal Order of Moose Lodge No. 1096, serving as governor at the time of his death. He loved life. His sense of humor, big heart and generosity will be missed by many but will continue to be cherished by all who knew and loved him.
His family includes his mother, Deb Hamilton; brother, Byran Hamilton; grandmother, Carol Vance; niece and nephew, Krislin and Kaiden; aunt, Cathie Friese; uncle, Chuck Friese; uncles, Joseph Hamilton, Bradley Hamilton and Gary Vance; and special cousin, Dylan Friese.
