Brandon was born January 4, 1979, in Shawnee Mission, Kansas to Terry and Glenna
Fugate. Brandon graduated from Charles Page High School in 1998. Brandon married the
love of his life and best friend, Christine Anifantis on March 1, 2008. They had their first

Engineering Technology from Oklahoma State University in 2014 and later his Masters of

Brandon worked for American Electric Power for more than 25 years. During his time at AEP ,

commitment to his work and work product was second to none.
Brandon enjoyed hanging out with his family and friends. One of Brandon’s favorite ways to
spend his time was watching his kids compete in sports. He enjoyed camping, good music
