Brandon Rea Followell of San Marcos died Aug. 20 in a car accident in Buda. He was 22. Brandon was born on Oct. 6, 2000, in Waco to David Nemmer Jr. and Kari Anderson. Through a series of events as a child, Brandon and his brother David came to live with Clint and Monica Followell when he was 10 years old. This led to a full adoption in 2012. In the same year, the family moved to San Marcos, where he lived the rest of his life. He graduated from San Marcos High School in 2019. He was employed at Centex Pressure Washing Services. Friends and family said Brandon’s love for the “unlovable” or the “outcast” was his greatest attribute. To him, everyone was worthy of love, and he showed that in his actions. Brandon also took his role as big brother seriously, making sure to attend every possible game, concert or production involving his siblings. He is survived by his adoptive parents, Clint and Monica Followell, who are campus ministers at San Marcos Academy and on staff at First Baptist Church in San Marcos—he as minister of students and she as minister of missions. He also is survived by his brothers, David and Asher Followell; his biological parents, Kari Anderson and David Nemmer Jr.; and his grandparents, Anthony and Melissa Modesto, and Dennis and Rebecca Tuchalski.
