Daniel Braithwaite Obituary
Dan was born in David City on April 23, 1971, to Delmer and Connie (Caulkins) Braithwaite. He was baptized on July 22, 1971, in Ansley, where he grew up and graduated from Ansley High School in 1989.
Dan was united in marriage to Linda (Stark) Roy on June 5, 1999, in McCook. They then moved to Broken Bow where they raised their two daughters and went on many adventures together.
Dan acquired his love for archery through his dad, attending many archery shoots together throughout the state and he was a member of the Nebraska Bowhunter Association and the Litchfield Archery club for many years.
Dan found joy in camping, hunting and working on cars; and he cherished every moment spent with his granddaughters.
Date nights and road trips with his wife were a highlight of his life, reflecting the strong bond they shared together.
His laughter, kindness and adventurous spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Dan was preceded in death by his father Delmer; brother Dale; grandparents Robert and Verlaine Caulkins and Harold and Lucille Braithwaite; Aunt Norman; Uncle Sterling Caulkins; Uncle Ron Young; and Burneate Henderson.
