Friends now say they believe it may have been from the couple’s recent honeymoon.

Remembering Rachel

Rachel grew up in Crystal Lake, Illinois, where she excelled in both cheerleading and track. She graduated cum laude from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and went on to build a successful career in Human Resources.

Her obituary called her someone with “a strong sense of empathy, compassion, social justice, and fair play,” noting that her humor and energy lit up every room she entered.

She is survived by her parents, brother, grandmother, extended family — and her two beloved dogs.

Remembering Brandon

Brandon, who died just one day after his 30th birthday, served proudly in the U.S. Navy as a Petty Officer. Outside the military, he loved RC flying, boating, snowmobiling, hunting, fishing — hobbies he pursued with what his family described as boundless enthusiasm.

His obituary noted that “his deep commitment to service and his enduring passion for helping others” defined him both in and out of uniform.

He is remembered lovingly by his parents, sister, grandmothers, and a large extended family.
