Doc was born at home on Rush Run Road in Gilmer County, West Virginia, on February 18, 1936, and graduated from Troy High School. He went on to attend Glenville State College earning his BS in Chemistry, obtained his Master's in Chemistry from West Virginia University, and received his PhD in Chemistry from West Virginia University. He met the love of his life in chemistry lab at WVU and they married in June of 1961. He began teaching at West Virginia Institute of Technology where he taught college chemistry and inorganic chemistry and encouraged and inspired thousands of students for over 30 years. Doc was an avid hunter, trout fisherman, and conservationist being a longtime member of Trout Unlimited. He instilled a strong love of the outdoors in his children, grandchildren, and students. Many summers were spent in Wyoming and surrounding states trout fishing, and many falls were spent on the homeplace hunting squirrels and deer. Spring turkey season was also a favorite with Doc who made many of his own calls. He had a love of woodworking making a variety of items including jewelry which his family still wears. Doc Brannon will be sorely missed by his loving Wife, family members, and dear friends, but we have the consolation of being able to reunite with him one day in Heaven.
