Tragic bike lad Brandon ‘a free bird flying above’
A DEVASTATED family has paid tribute to Brandon Lee Wells who was killed while out riding his bike over the Easter weekend.
Heartbroken dad Michael Wells said nine-year-old Brandon was "such a character. He was in a different class, a league of his own."

The tragedy happened on Saturday morning at about 11.15am when Brandon, a pupil at St Joseph’s primary school, Broadstairs, was knocked down as he rode his bike in Dane Court Road where it becomes St Peter’s Road, at the junction with Dane Court Road between Margate and the family’s home in St Peter’s.
Within hours flowers, a teddy bear, chocolates and sweets had been left by friends and family of the little lad along with heartfelt messages of condolence for the family.
One read: "Bye M8. All our love and hearts go out to all the family."
Michael, a former solider with 3rd Battalion the Parachute Regiment, who is originally from Peckham, south east London, said: "When I went up there I could feel Brandon’s spirit. He’s tearing around those fields on his bike.
"He was a London lad through and through."
The family were being comforted by Father David Caine, chairman of the governors at St Joseph’s.
Brandon’s grandfather Mostafa Khademzadeh has flown back from his native Iran to be with his loved ones, including Brandon’s brother Reiss and sister Maddisson.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the crash which involved two cars, a silver Peugeot and a blue Ford.
Anyone with information is asked to call the serious collision investigation unit on 01622 798538.

“Our thoughts are with the family at their terrible loss. My son is in the same Holy Communion group and wept at the sad news. He is 8 and liked Brandon very much, trying to copy his spiky hair with too much gel. There will be a lot of prayers for him this Thursday. God bless his family and may he rest in peace.”
