Charles Brandon LaRance IV's Obituary
It is with great sadness that we must announce the passing of Charles "Brandon" LaRance IV in Tacoma, WA on December 1st, 2025.
Brandon was born on November 19, 1979 in Puyallup, WA to parents Dawne Marie Paulsen and Charles Allen LaRance III. His most recent position as a security officer for Emerald Queen Casino brought him a great sense of pride and service.
In his free time, he was an avid gamer, playing and conquering every new game since he was old enough to hold a joystick. He followed his father as a gifted self-taught musician who played the guitar, keyboard, and drums. Strong and highly intelligent, he was a proud man of the work he did and his close relationship with his brother Jesse and Mom.
He is survived by his mother, Dawne (LaRance) Rickard-Richardson, brother Jesse Rickard, sister Crystal, loving pups Cha-Cha and Chile Pepper and his extended family of Uncles, Aunts and cousins, including Grandma Lori LaRance. He will be missed.
