Brandon was born on July 12, 1990, in Sidney, MT to Kevin Kringen and Marjorie “Marj” Lindley. He was raised in Sidney where he attended schools graduating with the Class of 2009, from Sidney Senior High School.
Brandon followed his brother, Aaron’s love of hockey, and played for the Richland Rangers wearing number 96 from preschool through high school as a goalie.
Following his sister, Theresa, Brandon enlisted in the United State Air Force after graduation as a F-16 crew chief. He was proud to have served his country, and the Air Force remained a very important part of his life.
As a child, Brandon enjoyed hunting and plinking, riding horses, rodeo, and local play days. He enjoyed his skateboard, and he played T-ball, baseball, hockey, and video games. Brandon was a techie at heart and at a young age took apart many household electronic out of curiosity; however he was not always as successful putting them back together. But most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family. Family was very important to Brandon.
Brandon was stationed in Arizona, joining Cousin Jeremy Untersher. He lived in Texas, following his service in the Air Force. His heart remained in Montana and after several trips home; he chose to stay in 2016. During this time Brandon enjoyed spending time with his Montana family and renewing friendships. Returning back to Texas in 2018, Brandon moved in with his sister, Christine in Waxahachie, spending time together. Over the past months, Brandon enjoyed attending many outings with his sisters and boating with his uncle Roger, aunt Shellie and cousin Clayton.
