It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Brandon Dale Howell on Sunday, April 14, 2019 at home in Cape Breton. Born on June 11, 1985 in Sydney, Brandon was the son of Derek and the late Darlene Patricia (MacDonald) Howell.

From his mom he got his love of music and guitars. He will miss his best buddy, Duke, his dog and four-wheel mudding with family and friends.
Brandon loved being the life of the party. Wherever he went there was going to be a good time had by all. His personality was one like no other and he had many friends that he thought of like family (20W). Brandon could put his hand to anything and succeed.
