Brandon Taylor Peterson, age 31 of Mansfield , TX, passed away on December 29, 2020.
Brandon was born June 3, 1989 in Fort Worth, TX, to Eric and Leann Peterson. He began school at the Children’s Center in Mansfield and graduated from Mansfield Timberview High School in 2007. He played on the varsity baseball team for his high school. He went on to graduate from EMT school at Hill College; Fire Academy at Tarrant County College in 2009 and completed his paramedic certification at Dallas Methodist in 2012.
He began working for the Lancaster Fire Department in 2010 and would later promote to a paramedic in 2012 and engineer in 2013. Brandon had a love for baseball, autographs, and Disney. He spent many hours finding celebrities/ baseball players to add to his huge collection of autographs. Later, he would grow his collection to Disney memorabilia and Walt Disney autographs. Disney World was his happy place and he would be there any chance he could with his schedule for the day planned out in an excel spreadsheet.
He loved his family and friends more than anything and was committed to protect and serve others.
