She says there have now been thousands of good deeds in honor of her late son.
Instead of focusing on pain and anger, she and her family are using the somber mark to encourage random acts of kindness in his honor.
“Very, very witty, made you laugh all the time. He has a father, a brother, just a real outgoing kid and adult,” Crutchfield said. “He is missed and loved by so many.”On Jan. 10, 2014, Crutchfield’s life changed forever when authorities say Blansit’s roommate stabbed him at least 10 times after the two got into an argument. That man was initially charged with second0-degree murder but then was convicted on a manslaughter charge. He’s serving a 20-year prison sentence.
So each year, she started encouraging family and friends to do “Brandon acts of kindness” for a stranger. She says there have now been thousands of good deeds in honor of her late son, setting a good example for his young sister and his children, who Crutchfield would later raise. All three are doing well and working on their education.
