It’s unclear of the nature of Brandon’s death, however, Smiley did make a comment about losing him the same way his grandfather lost his father. During the video, the Dallas based radio host stated:

“My grandaddy went through this sh*t with my dad and somehow now I’m going through the same thing my grandparents went through…just pray for my family.”

Brandon was 32 at his time of death, and would have celebrated his 33rd birthday next month. The media personality was working towards following in his father’s entertainment footsteps doing acting and comedy work, often posting funny memes to his instagram feed. Brandon is survived by both his parents, siblings, and daughter Storm.
