I know you are in heaven smiling down right now, Scott. Many memories (especially Circle). I'll miss you until the day we see each other again. (cousin, Steve Meyers, Marco Island, FL)

Scoot was a true blessing to be around you could feel the joy, happiness when you are around him. The love for his family, friends and God was truly a blessing to see. You will be missed by your NLC/Thorn family. With heartfelt condolences, Elizabeth

Amanda, I went to school with both of your parents--I am so sorry to hear about your loss.

Scott was my oldest big brother. He was a good brother, brother in law to my husband, and an amazing Uncle to Jacob, James, and Rebecca. I was 6 years old when he left to go into the Military. I was so upset I didn't want him to be alone so I ran to my room and grabbed my HUGE Teddy bear. I was so proud to have a big brother in the Army. I was always so excited to see him when he came home to visit. He was the first one to take me on a motorcycle ride. He put his helmet on me that was like 10 sizes to big. I didn't care I just thought it was sooo cool. Scott later moved into some apartments in Pikes Peak Park and he would take Lori and I swimming. We would stay the night and then go fishing the next moring. He loved to fish or anything outdoors. He was an amazing Uncle to the kids. He would tell them the biggest stories. I am sure there was like 1% truth to them. Like how he wrestled a bear and saved the whold boys scout camp or how he flew on the Space Shuttle. He would come and get the boys and take them fishing, to the movies or just to his house to spend time with them. He took them to buy their first pocket Knifes when they were 8 years old. When Rebecca was a baby he would come and put her in her carseat and swing her till his arm fell off. Just so she would'nt cry. I loved how he looked at the kids with Love in his eyes and the love in theirs as they looked at him. There is no doubt in my heart that Scott went to be with the Lord. He aske Jesuse Christ in to his heart. He is up in heaven telling stories to my dad and hugging him. I will miss him so much!!!! It is not good bye but I will see you later. For as one day I will be walking in Heaven with them. Till then my heart is sad for I will miss him. I love you my dear brother!!! Hug dad for me! I will see you later one day! I love you my big brother! Your baby sister!

God Bless and Rest in peace and may the Lord comfort your family and take care of always (Michael Asay class of 79 US Army 79-87 Fairfax VA.)

Scott, we started the Thorn together in 2009. It seems almost unreal that we, The Thorn Centurions, are facing this tragedy. You were the one that always kept my spirits going. You never asked for anything, yet gave so much. As I don my armor this Thorn season, I do so with you in my shadow to guide me. This year, we will "Rock the House" like never before! I will truly miss you for the rest of my life. One day we'll be together swapping those famous Thorn stories again. Until then... Enjoy this years show... I know you've got the best seat in the house brother!

Dear Carol, Judy, Amanda, and Katie:

I am so sorry to hear about Scott's passing. I have many great memories of Scott from the Sheriff's Office and from church when he went to Pikes Peak Baptist. I am sure he is with Del right now watching over all of you, in that I thank the Good Lord. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

RIP Scotty... Peace to his family and friends...

Scott was a good brother and a loving Uncle to my children. I remember when he left to join the military and I was only 5 years old. I wanted him to take my huge teddy bear with him. I was always so excited when he came home, and a proud sister of her big brother who was in the Army. When he moved back to the Springs I loved to stay the night and go fishing with him. My kids loved him like I did. He would just stop by to pick them up to take them to the movies, or fishing or just to hang out. I loved the way he looked at them with love in his eyes for them, and their love for him. He would tell them stories (most of them were not true lol) and they believed every word out of his mouth. I was always amazed how he could build anything and it was always perfect and beautiful. When I was married at such a young age he supported me and my husband in our marriage. I am so thankful for good memories. I was blessed to have him as a big brother, and an Uncle to my children. We will miss him so much!!! I love you Scott, hug dad for me!

Heaven just snagged themselves a wonderful Scout Master and baseball coach.

Dear Brandner Family, Scott left you ''proud'' in so many ways,in his deep faith, in his career, in the service of his country,and as deputy sheriff to his county and devotion to his family despite his difficulties with his health.

Dear Carol and Family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. We remember fondly your wedding, Scott bursting with happiness, and you were the most beautiful bride. It touched our hearts and we knew what we witnessed was a special union. May these memories carry you through this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To The Brandner Family,
It was a pleasure to know Scott and to think back on all the good times we all had as kids...God bless you all...You will be in our families prayers.

Scott worked beside my father at El Paso County Sheriffs Dept. for many years and now he gets to sit beside him again in heaven.

I'm sorry to hear of Scott's passing. He was a great guy and a good friend. I knew Scott from sports and school for many years and he was always so positive and happy. I remember that he was my lab partner in Mr. B's Physics class Junior year. He was always willing to step in and do the experimental part of our assignments; he was fearless and optimistic in that way. Even when they failed to work as planned we had so much fun. One memory that came to mind was Scott telling me about the finer points of shaving, we must have gone over that for a week, comparing shaves joking about how often he had to shave. It's silly, but it was typical Scott, fun to be around.

I'm saddened that time and distance let our friendship fade, but I'm glad that I'll always have great memories of Scott. I pray that your family will always keep your happy memories of your time with Scott close to your hearts. God Bless you and keep you,
Don Francis

Knowing the Brandner family for years as I grew up on the same street, it saddens me to hear of this tremendous loss. Funny how worlds entwine. As an adult, I married into the Callan Family who shared friendships between two generations with Brandners then found myself living accross the street from Scott, Carol, Amanda and Katie. Another generation became fast friends before they relocated to Monument. It has been a joy watching Amanda and her new family grow and I feel deep sympathy for you all.
Scott saved the day administering first aid to my son after crashing through a glass door keeping the kids calm until we could get to the hospital. He was always kind, patient and funny and will be missed.

We went to Harrison High together and all graduated in '78. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Bradner family at this diffucult time.
Rest in Peace Scott.

Scott, Loyd and I were talking last night and remembering the 911 call the girls made from our house and how you lined them up next to the wall in the dining room and explained to them about doing a fake call to 911 because they called us back. That was soooooo funny. We love you and will miss you, you'll always be in our hearts forever.
Loyd, Donna, Kellie and Emmie Orfield

So sorry to hear about your dad. Our prayers are with you & your family.
Love,
Melba & Ann

I don't know your husband, fatehr or friend... but, MY Loving Siter/Cousin Donna Orfield was a dear friend... My thoughts and prayers are with ALL of you.. May his memory give you strength for ALL of your tomorrows. BEst, Joni Kriesien-Adams (Donna Orfield cousin)

Scott, You will now be reunited with your dad. I know how close you two were when we were kids. You were my first and favorite catcher from our years of baseball together. Thank you for your service to the community and our country. We both joined the service when it wasn't the most popular thing to do. God bless your family.
