May 29, 1991 ~ January 1, 2026
Brandon David Maker or as he believed his full name was at age three, Brandon “Uncle David” Maker was born on May 29, 1991 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He left this earth January 1, 2026. He resided in Bartlesville Oklahoma, and was living with his favorite mother. He was her only and “favorite” son.
Brandon’s school years found him in Verdigris, TN, Collinsville, and finally Bartlesville. He got his GED while working and living in Indiana. His life experiences also took him to New York, Florida, Montana, and Nebraska.
Brandon went on to obtain his CDL and trained to drive trucks and eventually became his own operator and ran his own business.
When he wasn’t driving he was tucked away somewhere behind a screen with his gaming community and especially his circle of friends whom he enjoyed games, movies and chatting deep into the morning hours with. These were his people who will all deeply miss his presence, quirkiness and laughter. As well as his friends he kept in touch with and his family.
Brandon is preceded in death by his grandmothers, Jean Maker of Hominy and Beverly Love of Claremore. His uncles Jay Mark Bullbear and David Maker of Hominy and his mean ole aunt Enza Gering of Skiatook.
Brandon is survived by his mother, Dana Murrell and his stepfather Steve Murrell of Bartlesville, his father Barry George and his grandfather Terry Love of Claremore, his aunt Shiela and numerous cousins on both his mother’s and father’s sides.
