Brandon T. Peterson

Fallen Hero’s Hometown and State: Mansfield, TX

Branch of Service: Fire Service

Rank: Engineer

As a Lancaster Firefighter Paramedic, Brandon Peterson was a true hero. He was a 10-year veteran of Lancaster Fire Department and served with compassion, honor, and loyalty to the citizens of Lancaster until losing his battle with lung cancer in December resulting from his service.

Brandon was a wonderful caring father, husband, and son and his two beautiful daughters will always remember their awesome Daddy. He was proud to be a professional firefighter and is missed by many. His family has many happy memories of Brandon, how he lived his life, and how he loved his friends and family. They remember his many talents and the friendly attitude he presented to all he encountered. He never complained about anything and always put his family first.

Friends and family take comfort in knowing his last act of kindness was to ensure others could enjoy the gift of sight after he was gone. From Brandon, and all the other generous cornea donors like him, the Gift of Sight lives on.
