Brandon Hawkins Obituary

HAWKINS
Brandon John Hawkins "BFG", "BHawk", age 21, passed away on Saturday, December 1, 2018 in Jacksonville. A gathering of friends and family will be held to celebrate his life at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 8, 2018 in the chapel of George H. Hewell and Son Funeral Home, 4140 University Blvd., South.
Brandon was born in Oceanside, California on September 7, 1997 to Erica Ann Madson Hawkins & Brian John Hawkins. A Jacksonville resident for most of his life, Brandon graduated from First Coast High School, Class of 2015 and was currently attending FSCJ. Brandon had many interests, but his absolute favorite things were playing basketball, and hanging out with his friends, especially the Ortiz family. He loved his job at the Duval Station Publix; he was the tall thin kid stocking shelves, always ready to help, always smiling.
Brandon is survived by his parents, Brian & Erica Hawkins; his brothers, Dillon & Keegan Hawkins; grandmother, Virginia Hawkins; grandmother, Nancy Madson; grandfather, Steve Madson (wife, Kathy); and by many extended family members and friends. Brandon was preceded in death by his grandfather, John Hawkins.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in honor of Brandon to the Jacksonville Zoo. He had a special connection with zoos in general, sloths and Okapis particularly. This would make him smile.

Praying for the family of this wonderful young man. I can still see that beautiful face, with those big brown eyes, sitting in the middle row of my classroom. He was smart, kind to everyone, and a pleasure to teach. I am heart broken for his wonderful family. You all are in my prayers.

Still cant believe youre gone man. I remember all the times you would talk trash to me from the days we played soccer in middle to the days we were playing baseball in highschool. You were such a unique soul and had one of the best personalities to make sure everyone around you was laughing. You were and always will be the BFG.

Rest In Peace BHawk you will be missed

My baby. My beautiful brave boy...words arent enough to express the sadness we feel every minute of every day. We miss you so much that we ache. You were so sensitive and cared about everyone, truly cared. Your struggle was private. You wanted no one to know how deeply you felt all of lifes pain and how very dark your nights were. You never wanted to burden anyone or cause worry...

You are at peace now, happy again. Im looking forward to seeing that beautiful smile again one day. Meanwhile, I will listen to your friends as they tell me of their lives with you, how you touched them, how much fun you were...how much they loved you. And in those memories you will live on.

In our hearts forever BHawk...forgiven, never forgotten
Love,
Mom
