Branden Tyler Carl

Branden Tyler Carl entered this world on April 11, 2003. He was born in Brandon, UK at Royal Air Force Base, Lakenheath and spent the majority of his life in Las Vegas, Nevada. Branden's gentle nature made him a kind and compassionate young man who cared for others. He deeply cherished his family and friends with everlasting love.

In 21 years of life, Branden's excitement was captured through the things that brought him joy. This included family outings, friend trips, video games, car meets, shooting, music, exploring new restaurants, and cooking a meal or two. From his youth, Branden had a passion for cars. His life-long dream of becoming an automotive mechanic was made a reality throughout his educational journey. He pursued this aspiration while attending Western High School's automotive program where he graduated from in 2021. 

In his pursuit of higher education, he continued this dream by enrolling in the Automotive Service Technician Program at the College of Southern Nevada where he completed most of his studies through achievement. While attending college, he was hired at Findlay Kia as a mechanic. But Branden was more than a mechanic, he was more like an upcoming apprentice acquiring as much knowledge as he could to fulfill a passion that he always had. Previously, he had an opportunity as a prototype vehicle test driver, which further demonstrated his love for driving. Branden lived a life of adventure. Outside of school and work he described himself as a self-professed "car geek," enjoying car shows, car meets, working on cars with friends, and collecting tools.

On January 30, 2025, Branden passed away unexpectedly leaving a void in the hearts of many who knew and loved him. Branden is survived by his parents, Rodney Carl (Michelle); Charlene Reeves (Darryl) and his siblings, Christopher Jalen Smith and Alexis Carl; his grandfathers Charles Burton and Roy Carl; his aunt Ebony Mugo (Bob); and his extended family on the East Coast and in the South, his friends and military family. He is preceded in death by his grandmother, Neater B. Carl, and his Aunt Renee Buffaloe. Branden’s legacy will live on, reminding us to love one another unconditionally.
