STOW - Richard Mark "Rich" Brandon, 49, went home to be with the Lord March 4, 2015.

Born in Akron, he was a lifetime Stow resident, a graduate of Stow High School and received his Bachelor's degree from Kent State University. From his jobs at Blossom Music Center and Brandon Heating, to most recently at Stow Munroe Falls Public Library, he truly enjoyed working. One of his greatest joys was taking a cruise. Rich was an avid sports fan, especially when it came to the Cleveland Indians. He was also a longtime member of First Christian Church of Stow.

He is survived by his parents, Dave and Fran of Stow, and sister and brother-in-law, Teri and Ed Connolly of Rock Island, IL. Rich was very proud of his niece and nephews, Annalise, Adrian and Owen Connolly.
