Brandon Andrew Casson, 58, of Wake Forest, passed away Saturday afternoon, February 21, 2026, at WakeMed North Hospital.
Born in Easton, Maryland on May 18, 1967, Brandon grew up surrounded by family and the values of hard work and dedication. For 25 years, he served as a sales manager with Southern Lithoplate, a family business in which he was raised and deeply invested. His time there reflected not only his strong work ethic but also his commitment to family and the relationships he built along the way.
After leaving Southern Lithoplate, Brandon began working at Wake Forest Auto Spa, where he found new purpose in mentoring those around him. He generously shared his life experiences, offering guidance, encouragement, and laughter. More than anything, Brandon brought joy wherever he went. He had a natural way of lifting the spirits of others and was always ready with a kind word or thoughtful gesture.
Brandon was a kind-hearted and gentle soul, loyal beyond measure, and devoted to his family and friends. He will be remembered for his warmth, his steady presence, and the genuine care he showed to everyone he met. His love for those close to him was unwavering and without limits, and it was his faith in God that kept him strong and positive throughout his life.
He is survived by his mother, Ronalda Chaney “Ronnie” Casson of Wake Forest; his siblings, Edward A. “Trip” Casson, III & wife Dianne of Wake Forest, Teresa Higgins & husband Robert of Oxford, MD, Kimberly Phelps of Wilmington, Cynthia Casson of Wake Forest, and Clark Casson of Wake Forest; as well as several nieces, nephews, and numerous friends who will cherish his memory.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the WakeMed Foundation (www.wakemed.org/giving) in appreciation of both the good that they do and the compassionate care they provided to Brandon.
A celebration of Brandon's life will be held at 5:00 p.m., Saturday, March 7, 2026, at Clancy Strickland Wheeler Funeral Home, 1051 Durham Road, Wake Forest, NC 27587.
