Brandon Cole Torrez

Brandon Cole Torrez, age 29, of Palestine, Texas, made his grand entrance at heaven's gates on Monday the 27th day of November 2023. Brandon was born in Palestine, Texas on the 11th day of February 1994 to Johnny Torrez and Teri Arnold Patterson. Brandon attended Neches School and graduated from Elkhart High School in 2012. Brandon was employed by Brady Trucking and Crane out of Marshall, Texas.

He is survived by his wife, who was the love of his life since middle school, Kristian, and his beloved children Marliegh Jean, Macie Lynn and Raymond Clyde Torrez. Brandon is also survived by his parents Johnny Torrez, Teri Patterson and stepfather Shannon Patterson.  He also leaves behind his siblings, Dakota Patterson and wife Tiffany, Victoria Patterson, Sierra Hardy and husband Kevin, all of Palestine, Katy Stevens, of Elkhart, James Torrez, John Torrez, and Crystal Torrez, all of Palestine; aunts, Gail Lawson and husband Robert, of Sachse, Gerri Peoples and husband Deryl, of Neches, Linda Potts, of Tyler; uncles, Carlos Torrez, Jerry Torrez and wife Michelle, all of Palestine; great-uncle, Paul Torrez, of Palestine; uncle, Charles and Jennifer Hutcherson; and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents James Thornton, Billie Starr, Florentino Torrez, Doris Roberson, special aunt Joann Barker, and cousin Damion Starr, and his twin brothers, Matthew and Mark Torrez. 

Brandon’s children were his pride and joy. He loved his family and friends with all his heart. When Brandon wasn’t with his family, you could find him running his dogs late in the night hunting hogs with Walter.  If not there, he would be kayaking for hours on the river with Trent.  He especially enjoyed time with his cousin T.C. Killion.

Brandon had a large heart and love for the outdoors. The loss of Brandon has left a huge hole in our hearts, but we are comforted that he is in his Savior’s arms.
