Brandon Scott Elkington, 30, of Ammon, passed away Wednesday, March 18, 2015, at home surrounded by his family, from complications due to the flu. On April 14, 1984, Keith and Cheryl Elkington welcomed their youngest son into their family. Brandon grew up in the Ammon/Bone area on the family farm. Growing up on a farm taught Brandon dedication, a hard work ethic, a love for agriculture and animals. One thing he enjoyed as a youth, was participating in scouting where he earned his Eagle, and the 4-H program spending many hours raising and caring for steers. He loved working side by side with his dad and brothers. Brandon was diagnosed with diabetes when he was 18 months old. Each summer he went to Camp Hodia in Stanley, Idaho. As an adult, he returned many summers and worked as a camp counselor helping others. He made lasting friendships everywhere he went. Brandon graduated from Hillcrest High School in 2002. While in high school Brandon was on the National Honor's Society and received HHS student of Distinction award. He also participated on the debate team and yearbook photography. He went onto further his education at BYU-Idaho, earning a degree in Agriculture Business Science & Technology, and in Economic Theory & Finance. At BYU-Idaho he was on the Dean's List and was Vice Chairman for Young Republicans. Brandon served a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Jacksonville, Florida where he touched many lives and built lifetime friendships. Brandon has held many callings and enjoyed serving and learning from each one. Brandon will be remembered for his love of photography, cars, cats, snowboarding and music. He loved Extra-Large Maverick cup filled with Diet Coke. He loved to travel all over with his family, especially to the beach.
