Brandon Warrington
Our beloved Brandon Warrington, 57, of Frankston, went to be with the Lord on Oct. 16, 2025.
Brandon was born on May 28, 1968, in Tyler, to Billy Ronald and Patsy Janet (Cook) Warrington and, in Frankston.
Brandon was a devoted father who instilled in his daughters a lifelong love for music and film, teaching them to appreciate art. Through his encouragement, they grew into strong, self-assured young women.
Brandon’s home was always shared with pets, some adopted, some rescued, and some who simply wandered in and never left. For those he couldn’t take in, he still found ways to care, leaving out food, building shelters, and offering kindness to every cat and dog in need. His compassion for animals was boundless, and his heart had room for them all.
Known for his dark sense of humor and impeccable timing, Brandon could crack a joke in the middle of chaos and make you laugh when you least expected it. Brandon leaves behind a legacy of empathy, resilience, and irreverent joy. He taught us to stand tall, love deeply, and never take life too seriously. He will be missed fiercely and remembered fondly, every time a favorite song plays, a classic film rolls, or a stray finds a safe place to land.
Brandon was preceded in death by his parents and uncle, Barry Cook.
Left to cherish his memory are his daughters Madison Warrington and Mackensie Warrington, and his brother Steven Warrington.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. (Information Posted by Autry Funeral Home )
