Brandon Aaron Wisdom arrived with a flourish, much like he lived life, on June 19, 1975, in Lewiston, Idaho. He left this earth on July 17, 2014.
Brandon and his family lived in the surround-ing area of Grangeville, Idaho, for six years. He moved with his family to Suncrest, Wash., in 1982. The family made another move to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, in 1988 where he lived until his pass-ing. Brandon graduated from Coeur d’Alene High School in 1993, and from the North Idaho College welding program in 1994.
In 2001, Brandon married Holly Hamon; they later divorced. Brandon and Holly had two chil-dren: Maddy, age 5, and Wyatt, age 3.
Brandon worked several welding jobs, then start-ed his firefighting career. His passion was firefighting and he was excited to own his own firefighting business, MAWB Wildland Management. Brandon made a career move to teaching, and worked as a welding instructor at North Idaho College. In the fall of 2013, he began teaching at KTEC in the welding program. He loved teaching and helping his students achieve their goals.
Brandon and Allison Currie, his newfound love and companion, began a life together over the past year.
Brandon loved hunting, fishing, the outdoors, and people. He would do anything for his family and friends. He believed in giving second chances and was available to lend a helping hand to those who needed support. Brandon was gifted with a heart to serve others. Those who knew and loved him saw his tender, sweet side through the rough exterior. He often showed his affection through humor and teasing.
Brandon will be greatly missed by his children, Maddy and Wyatt Wisdom; parents, Aaron and Jeanne Wisdom; sister and broth-er-in-law and their family, Tonja, Denton, Weston, and Eva Joy Erickson; fian-cée, Allison Currie, and her children; and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins, as well as many, many friends.
Services will be held at 11 a.m., Friday, July 25, at Lake City Community Church, 6000 N. Ramsey Road, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Donations may be made in Brandon’s name at any Numerica Credit Union branch for his chil-dren. The family requests donations be made in lieu of flowers.
