Brandi Cestone

We sadly announce the passing of Brandi Jo Brown Cestone.  She passed peacefully in her childhood home on June 16th, 2025.

Brandi is survived by her father Wally Brown, her sister Terri Brown Shugart, her five children Keelee, Gianna, Samantha, Joesph, Sara, and her three Grandchildren Brooks Wilde, Kamden Wilde and Cash Wilde. She is preceded in death by her mother, Marilee Magard Brown and her husband, Kevin Cestone.

Brandi was born in St. George, Utah on July 16th, 1977 at the McGregor Hospital where she was adopted at birth by Wally Brown and Marilee Magard Brown. She was loved and cherished from the moment they set their eyes on her.

Brandi grew up in sunny St. George, where she graduated from Dixie high school and shortly after married Randall Brinkerhoff. They welcomed their first daughter, Keelee Madison Brinkerhoff, into the world August 23, 1995 . Though their marriage was short they were both thankful for the gift of love Keelee brought into their lives.

In her 20s, Brandi was modeling & working in Las Vegas when she met Kevin Cestone and they fell in love. Their love brought Brandi and Keelee to Chicago with Kevin where they lived and Brandi attended Aesthetics school where she excelled and was naturally talented in her field.

April 22, of 2003 Brandi and Kevin welcomed their daughter, Gianna Rose Cestone, into the world and that next year October 16, 2004, Brandi and Kevin had a beautiful wedding at the Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas where they had met so many years before.

In the years following, Brandi and Kevin welcomed Samantha Grace Cestone into this world on March 18, 2005 and Joesph Kevin Cestone on March 16, 2007.

Brandi loved being a mother and homemaker to her four children.

After many years in Chicago Brandi, Kevin, Gianna, Samantha, and Joey moved back to St. George, Utah to be closer to Keelee and Brandi's family, in fact they bought the house next to Brandi's childhood home where her parents still live.

Tragedy struck Brandi's and her children's world when her husband Kevin Cestone suddenly passed, she was heartbroken. She spent many years longing for her soulmate.

Brandi found peace in meditation and educating herself about spirituality and the afterlife because she truly believed she would meet Kevin in heaven one day.

It wasn't till November 21, 2015 Brandi's family was finally complete with the birth of her youngest daughter, Sara Janay Cestone. Sara was a blessing to Brandi and our family for so many reasons but mostly because she saved Brandi.

Brandi loved her children and grandchildren and will be missed by so many.
