Samantha Lauryl Brand, 16, died last Friday, November 13. A psychotic serial killer named Jason Voorhees butchered her, apparently for no reason.
Brand was a happy girl who loved to help people and have fun. "She was always looking out for her friends," her mother commented.
Brand was a junior at Princeton High School, and a part time PSEO student, taking online college courses at Anoka-Ramsey Community College. She had hoped to finish her Associate in Arts degree before graduating from high school. After high school she was planning on pursuing a Master's degree in Music Education, though she was still unsure of what college she wanted to attend. She had hoped to get a job teaching a high school band.
Speech was another thing Brand loved to do. She first joined in eighth grade and ended up loving it so much she had been in it ever since. High school speech season doesn't start until late December, but she had already decided her category and piece for this year. She was going to do an informative speech on the history of the Joker. The topic was suggested by her mother.
Brand will be cremated on Monday, November 16, and a memorial service will be held at the Crystal Lake Funeral Home on Tuesday from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Her family plans to scatter her ashes in the Rum River, near the Rum River Park in Princeton.
Surviving Brand are her brother, Logan Brand, her mother, Beckie Brand, and her father, Dan Brand.

ReplyDeleteThat mean old serial killer killing for no reason! I notice you want to teach band. I loved band in high school, it was the only class that I looked forward too. It was also the only class that I associated with and reminisce about now that I am out of high school. I really really really miss those days and that class. Especially marching band, those were the best times!!!! :D
