A flashback to the opening of Middle Village downtown, where Next Up Michigan made a new friend - Brandon Navin, the founder of The Artist's Umbrella .
Next Up has learned Brandon tragically passed away. Our thoughts and prayers go to the friends, family, and loved ones of Brandon, who lit up the room and kept a great smile in each Next Up encounter.
Thanks for all you did to serve the world, Brandon!
Always seize the moment.
