Sunfield Sentinel - Oct. 31, 2011
Tommy A. Brands, 50, of Lyons passed away unexpectedly on September 29, 2011. 
He was born in Lansing, MI on December 13, 1960 to Phyllis E. (Gage) Brands and 
Thomas O. Brands. Tommy spent most of his life in Sunfield, and moved to Lyons 
in 2001. Tommy was a beloved brother, son, uncle and friend. In each of these 
roles, he displayed a generous spirit and a kind heart. He asked little of 
others and offered unconditional acceptance from a nonjudgemental heart. Tommy 
was a giver. He had a hert of gold and a trusting nature. Because of this, he 
was easily taken advantage of. Tommy loved to watch baseball and football, and 
was a fan of modified stock car racing. In recent months he achieved his dream 
of earning his motorcycle license and bought a Harley Davidson. He loved to 
ride with his brother Rich and cousin Steven Holton. Tommy demanded little from 
life other than a simple night out of dancing with friends. Tommy is survived 
by his sisters Jeannie Kirchen of Williamston, MI and Phoenix, AZ, Marcia 
(Barry) McIntyre of Grand Ledge, and brother Richard (Sandy) Brands of Ionia. 
He is also survived by 4 nieces and 3 nephews, plus his aunts, uncles and many 
cousins. He is preceded in death by his parents Thomas O. and Phyllis E. 
Brands, and his brother-in-law Cecil K. Kirchen, jr. Visitation will be held at 
Rosier Funeral Home in Sunfield from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 
October 5th. Funeral services will follow at 1:00 p.m. with Pastor Randy 
Carpenter of the Sunfield United Brethren Church presiding. Contributions may 
be made to the Lions Club, or the Sunfield Area Sponsors of Programs for Youth, 
aka S.P.Y.'s RFH PO Box 36 Sunfield, MI 48890. Express your thoughts and 
memories in the online Guest Book at www.legacy.com. The family is being served 
by the Independent Family Owned Funeral Home in Sunfield: Rosier Funeral Home.
