Joseph Patterson Braden

Pat Braden Family,
My dad, Bill Braden, was the second youngest of the Leroy Braden boys and was still ten years older than Uncle Pat. I remember my dad telling stories about his high school days when he was hanging out with his buddies. Grandma Anna would tell Bill to let his little brother, Pat, tag along. So Bill and his friends, would go fishing or swimming or hang around town with little Pat in tow. And according to my dad, even then, Pat was keeping everyone entertained. And my...

A wonderful uncle and Brother to my father Bill Braden. Full of life and love for others. Leanne Hunstock

Some people have such a beautiful nature that you never think they will one day be gone. Uncle Pat was one of those people. The Braden brothers are together again in heaven... To my cousins, I send my love and sympathy...

I was just thinking of Brother Braden about two weeks ago after not thinking of him for over thirty years. The thought that came to mind was, who has made a difference in my life by his words and deeds. Brother Braden was the name that came to my mind. He was our family's home teacher when I was apx seven years old. I have not seen him since seven years old. What a giant of a man!. God bless him and his family.

He used to bring us a bag of clover club chips every time he came. Awesome man....

When I was young, I thought that you could tell how close someone was to God by how white his hair was. Pat Braden only proved that belief in my mind! There was never a doubt that he walked with God on a daily basis. He was a marvelous Sunday School teacher. Some might think he was trying to bribe us with the candy he was always handing out, but we would've loved him anyway! He was still giving me candy at church when I was a young, frazzled mother of 5 boys in my 30's... always with that...

So sorry to hear about the passing of Brother Braden. I was glad he was there on our Scout trip one time. I didn't always get along with some in our group, but he was my friend that trip. We both slept in the car while the rest were in tents at the Indian Bathtubs. What a great leader and what a great man!

So sorry to hear of Bro. Braden's passing. I have great memories of living in the 14th ward and the Braden family. Thanks for helping me on my journey in life Pat, you will be missed.

Dear Family of Bro. Pat Braden:
My fondest memory of Bro. Braden was when I was a child. Every Sunday he would pick my brother and I up and take us to church. He would give us a pie afterward. At the time it was the only thing that motivated me to go to church.
I credit being an active member of our church today to him. My husband and my children are members only because of him. In my wandering journey to find God in my life, Bro. Pat Braden gave me the best foundation he could. ...
