Brandt, aka Fun-cle Brandt, UB40 (Uncle Brandt 40yo), and Cool Uncle Brandt was dearly loved by his nieces and nephews.

Brandt just celebrated his ninth anniversary as a Cast Member at Walt Disney World. He most recently worked as a Guest Relations Coordinator, and previously held many other positions at Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios.

Brandt was a savior of all plants. He had an innate ability to bring dying and desolate plants back to life and make them flourish. Orchids were not only his favorite flower, but were also his greatest love. He had over 100 orchid plants of many different varieties and colors around his home. He truly had a green thumb. Brandt did not always have the easiest life and had to overcome many adversities. Nevertheless, he lived life to the fullest. Friends and family describe him as Mr. Personality, always being the life of any party. To know Brandt was to love him, and to be loved by him was to feel unconditional positive regard, empathy and genuineness.
