Brandon Dwayne Rich

Brandon Dwayne Rich, born on July 24, 1994, in Lancaster, Texas, passed away on October 14, 2025, at the age of 31.

Brandon was born to his loving mother, Tobi Rich, and father, Robert Hampton III, who is now married to Cynthia Hampton. He grew up in Lancaster, where he attended school and proudly played football.

After high school, Brandon began his career as a forklift operator on December 15, 2014, where he was known for his dedication and strong work ethic.

One of Brandon’s greatest joys in life was becoming a father. His son, Brandon “Bam” Rich Jr., was truly the love of his life. On April 14, 2022, Brandon married his best friend and soulmate, Fannie Nicole Franklin. Together, they shared a life full of love and laughter—traveling, attending gun shows, playing with the kids and dogs in the yard, and spending time with family and friends.

Brandon leaves to cherish his memory: his loving wife, Fannie "Nikki" Nicole Rich; his children, Brandon “Bam” Rich Jr. and De'Marcas “DJ” Patterson; his mother, Tobi Rich; his father, Robert Hampton III, and wife Cynthia; his devoted aunt and uncle who raised him, Karen and Mike Orr; his grandmother, Eva Law; his grandfathers, Larry McNeil and Gary Rich (spouse Kari); his sisters, Mindy Chambers (spouse Lester), Chaylah Rich, Alexis Ringo, and Tiara Fields (spouse Keya); his brothers, Keith Orr (spouse Kim), Mitch Orr (spouse Derrisha), Chauncey Rich, and Robert Hampton IV; and his special best friend, DeBossha Christians.

He is also survived by a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will forever treasure his memory.

Brandon was preceded in death by his grandmother, Debra Clayton, and his niece, Jaycie Chambers.

Brandon will be remembered for his big heart, his humor, and his deep love for family. His light will continue to shine through the love he shared and the lives he touched.
