Brandon Scott Grissett

Brandon Scott Grissett, age 47, went home to be with his Lord on December 25, 2023 after a long and courageous battle with colon cancer. Born June 1, 1976 and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Brandon was a passionate and dedicated fan of THE Ohio State Buckeyes, Cincinnati Bengals and Cincinnati Reds. At the age of 5 years old, Brandon started playing baseball for NCAA recreational league and continued throughout high school. He grew to love the game, made lifelong friends through his teammates, and developed exceptional talent. He played many positions, but his most prized position was behind the plate. Brandon was also an excellent martial artist. Through Tae Kwon Do, Brandon gained an understanding of discipline, perseverance, respect and honor. He was also fascinated with American History and would spend countless hours reading and learning as much as he could in his free time. He was most captivated with American Indian and African American Histories as well as the Revolutionary War, Civil War and both World Wars. Brandon loved God, his family and his friends dearly. He was not shy about telling the message of the Cross or sharing his testimony and what God had delivered him from to anyone he had an opportunity to speak with. Brandon would frequently give money to the homeless, but not before witnessing to them first. He was one of the most generous, kind and loving people you could ever meet. He was also very protective of his family, especially his female cousins. He took pride in helping people and giving back. He volunteered his time for local causes, donated money to charitable organizations, and was always available to his family when they needed him to fix their plumbing issues, install a new kitchen light or make repairs to their vehicles. Since Brandon had no children, he was very close with his nephews and niece. They all adored their “Tio” as he was affectionately called by them. It made him very happy to spoil them with material things, shower them with advice, affection and love. During his battle with cancer, Brandon touched the hearts of the entire oncology team and the staff at both Doctor’s and Riverside hospitals as well as all of the hospice care workers that cared for him. Brandon was one of a kind and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Brandon is preceded in death by his father, Ronald Grissett and nephew, Kansas Wheeler. Brandon is survived by his beloved mother, Colleen Barger, bonus father, James “Jimmy” Barger; sister, Britt Grissett; brother, Benjamin Grissett; nephews, Kody Wilson, Kash Wheeler, Isaiah “Zeke” Grissett; niece, Maya Jeanne Grissett, as well as many Aunts, Uncles, cousins, “Lil” Jamie Baisden II and best friend of 45 years James “Jimmy” Tanner. At the request of Brandon’s mother, black attire is not required. A service will be held on Saturday January 20, 2024 at Genoa Baptist Church, 7562 Lewis Center Road, Westerville, Ohio 43082.
