Brandon Benson
November 10, 1973 — March 18, 2020
It is with profound sadness that Brandon’s family shares the news of his passing, surrounded by his family after a battle with cancer on Wednesday, March 18, 2020, in his 46th year.
Brandon (Bebo) was born November 10, 1973, in Bryan, Texas to Richard Benson and Karen (Schulze) Klingsporn. He was baptized on September 4, 1974, by Pastor Swygert and confirmed on March 27, 1988, by Pastor Moerbe and Pastor Nunnally, both at St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church. Brandon graduated from Brenham High School in 1992 and attended Blinn College. Brandon married the love of his life, Courtney (Hahn) Benson as fast as he could on February 21,1998, at St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Brandon, owner of Roger’s Tree Service, took pride in his business and enjoyed taking care of his clients for 30 years. Brandon was a talker and loved to converse with anyone. Speaking his mind and opinion was just one of his many attributes. His outgoing personality, comic timing, and the love for the hunt, was cherished by his circle of family and friends. While hunting fed his spirit, nature soothed his soul. Whether Brandon was on a boat in Matagorda, scoping pigs with his night vision gear, or sitting quietly at the edge of a pond, hunting with family and friends was just one of his passions. Brandon’s first love and passion, however, was the admiration and pride he had for his family. Courtney was his heart, and Landon and Brinley were the sparkle in his eyes. They worked, played, and had many adventures together. Memories were made and shall be kept tightly in all of their hearts forever.
Brandon is survived by his soulmate and wife of 22 years, Courtney Hahn Benson; son Landon Allen Benson and daughter, Brinley Renee Benson. Father, Richard Benson; mother, Karen Klingsporn and her husband, William; brother, Brigham Benson; maternal grandmother, Gennie Schulze. Other family members include: father-in-law and mother-in-law, Robert Jr and Glenda Hahn; Mother-in-law and father-in-law, Marilyn and Joe Kocurek; Sister-in-laws and brother-in-laws, Kari and Roger Goerlitz, Kristin and Justin White, and Jason Hahn and fiancé Paloma Cornejo.
