"Without You Here": Eric Church memorializes his late brother with a scholarship

ABC/Image Group LA Eric Church’s family has established a scholarship fund to honor his brother Brandon, who passed away unexpectedly over the weekend. 

The 36-year-old went into cardiac arrest after suffering multiple seizures Friday night, according to TMZ. The Granite Falls, North Carolina native had a history of seizures in recent years.

Eric’s younger brother co-wrote his debut single, “How ‘Bout You,” which made it to #14 in 2006. He also had a hand in writing the track “Without You Here,” from Eric’s Carolina album. 

In a relatively short time, the scholarship fund has already grown to more than $15,000.
