We discovered details of Kevin Richard Brandon's death just by searching the Internet one day. We found a single-page Blog entry by the daughter of one of Kevin's friends. When we found the blog, read and listened to what was there, work had to stop for the day.

In the way only a few lines of words can convey, we can taste the heartache and loneliness of a man separated by the Exclusive Brethren from his wife and six children. To cope with his anguish, Kevin became a drug addict who used street drugs to self-medicate. A number of ex-Exclusive Brethren use alcohol - Kevin chose methamphetimine.

Kevin did not seemingly leave much behind, but in fact he left a great deal. He left his friend an iPod which contained a Play List called 'Final Mix'. It is a suicide note of many dimensions. Merely the titles of the songs speak of how Kevin came to be in a place of desperation and his choice of final song will move you to tears.

It is a unique and almost unbearable opportunity to share a few minutes with a man who had lost all he truly loved. Access to his family was stolen by a cult and Kevin became yet another casualty of Exclusive Brethren teachings.

We are left with the image of Kevin, alone in his apartment on May 27th, 2006, listening to his Final Mix one final time ...
