ASCE mourns the loss of Horst Brandes,Ph.D., P.E., F. ASCE
It is with a saddened and heavy heart that weannounce the passing of one of our pastpresidents of the Hawaii Section, Dr. HorstBrandes, who passed shortly beforeThanksgiving. Many of us knew Horst throughhis active involvement with ASCE; he was the2003 ASCE Hawaii Section President, a Region8 Governor from 2011 to 2014, and was activeon many Society committees including Raisethe Bar and Civil Engineering Technologist.Horst was also a beloved professor with theUniversity of Hawaii’s College of Engineeringover the last 23 years and many of us are hisformer students.
Current ASCE Hawaii Section President,Dayna Nemoto-Shima, remembers Dr. Brandesfrom her time at UH, “Going into geotechnicalengineering, I think I took all of the courses Dr.Brandes taught. I remember he took us on afield trip to see a landslide that took place in aresidential area. It was so impactful to see thedamage and then hear him talk about his workwith the homeowners. I think that was when Irealized that the field I was going into really hasan impact on people’s lives. I owe a lot to Dr.Brandes for where I am today.”
We ask that you keep his family, including hiswife Patricia (Tricia) and their two daughters,Anna and Isabella, in your thoughts. We alsoencourage you to express your condolences tothe family and share with them any fondmemories of Horst. If you would like the Brandesfamily’s contact information, please emailDayna at [email protected].
The Hawaii Section is working with the familyand UH College of Engineering to establish ascholarship fund in honor of Horst. We will keepyou updated and hope you consider donatingonce it’s set up.
