You will never be forgotten. I know our journey was just beginning and sadly cut short. But you taught me things I'll never forget and I'll always have a place for you in my heart.

We are so sorry to learn of the loss of your grandson,son,brother,husband and father of such a young boy. He was so young himself.After reading a little about this brave adventurous young man our thoughts and prayers of our family are with yours.Although neither my wife or I are veterans we both have family members who are.We are proud and very fortunate to be able to live in a country as great as the USA. It is because of the brave men and women of our military that makes this possible. Thank you Braden you will always be a hero to us.

So very sorry for the loss of your son/husband/father. A member of the 1% of the population to proudly serve our nation. For that, I am forever grateful. Sincerely, a fellow former Army soldier and a Michigander who cares.
