Brannon Clark "BC" Rife, Jr

Brannon Clark Rife, Jr. departed this earth September 1, 2024, from Oak Island, NC.  He was 37 years old.  He was born April 1, 1987, in Westerville, Ohio and came home during a snowstorm.  He was larger than life and his love was felt by anyone who knew him.  In the last few months, he was ravenous for God and knew there were amazing things in store for him.

Brannon is the cherished son of Kathrine (Paddock) Rife and Brannon Rife.  He leaves behind his devoted family, including his sister Kimberly Rife, brother-in-law Tim Lytle, nephews, Parker and Jameson, niece, Kennedy, grandparents, Fred Paddock and Tex & Sally Rife and many aunts, uncles and even more cousins.  Preceded in death by his beloved dog, Brutus, mema, Vicki Paddock and great grandparents Dwight & Tina Rife.

Brannon was a beloved friend and a dedicated family member who lived a life of selflessness and warmth. He had a deep passion for travel, the outdoors, and most importantly, his family. His kindness, generosity, and sense of humor touched everyone who knew him. Brannon's unwavering support and love for those around him will be deeply missed. He loved working for Southwest which afforded him the lifestyle he wanted - less days working and more days traveling & being with family and friends.

Brannon will forever remain in our hearts, and his memory will be a source of comfort and inspiration. He will be missed every day while he is off on this next adventure with those who have gone before him.

Visiting hours will be held on Wednesday, September 11, from 4-7pm, and Thursday, September 12, from 2-3pm, at Evans Funeral Home followed by a memorial service to celebrate Brannon's life at 3pm on Thursday, September 12, 2024.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Grace Fellowship (Pickerington), Compassion International, St. Jude, and PreBorn!, in honor of Brannon's commitment to helping others.
