Brandon B. Munk

Brandon Brent Munk:, 34, from Amalga, Utah, died Sunday May 12, on Mother's Day.
He was welcomed to the other side by his Grandma Munk and his Grandpa Hall. He was
born June 30, 1978, in Ogden, Utah.
Brandon was fun loving, very bright, and could make friends with anyone and
everyone, no matter what age. He loved to do magic tricks and was self-taught. He
enjoyed performing for children's parties and anywhere else he could. He especially
loved doing Mentalism tricks. He dreamed of becoming famous in this field. He was
featured in the Idaho State Journal about his magic talent. He loved turning carrot peels
into live gold fish. He won a talent show in his youth and was then able to be in the pre
show of the Ringling Brothers Circus when it was performing in Salt Lake City. He
played the saxophone in the Sky View High School pep band and also on the Sky View
track team. He loved history and could tell everything about the Civil War and World
War II. He had a great talent for selling cars and could "sell ice cubes to the Eskimos" as
his brother said. Brandon graduated from East High School in Provo, Utah, where he
performed some of his magic tricks at the graduation ceremony. Brandon was an Eagle
Scout at age 15. Brandon was interested in the USA space program and he attended
Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama, in his youth.
Brandon had a very distinctive walk and he walked for miles to try to deal with
the challenges of his life. His family would often hear "We saw Brandon walking along
the side of the road. We could tell it was him by his walk." He had many set backs thru
the years but he was our hero because he would pick himself up and start over again and
again.
He married Tara Loveland of Idaho, but they were later divorced. They had one
daughter.
Brandon is survived by his parents, Brent and Debbie Munk, from Amalga,
brothers, Cameron (Emily) and Trevor (Kiersten), both from Benson, and his 8 year old
daughter, Ma Haela, the "light of his life" of North Logan. Grandparents are Robert and
Jeannine (deceased) Munk of Amalga, and Eldon (deceased), and Florence Hall of River
Heights. He has 5 nephews and 1 niece.
