Brandon Araiza Obituary
He served in the Airforce and was very proud to be a part of our nation's armed services. He moved to Grand Forks a year ago where he made many good friends. He loved the outdoors and having fun with his friends.
For those of you who had the opportunity to meet him; you will always remember his amazing smile, his wonderful laugh, his golden heart, and willingness to help others before his own needs. During these sad days, I ask you on behalf of my son, to keep him safe in your heart. Hold tight to memories for comfort, lean on your friends and family for strength, and always remember how much Brandon cared for you.
Brandon will be put to rest by his Great Grandma Maria Luisa Nunez.

Brandon Araiza was a charming, elegant and engaging young man. I spent a few years working and deploying with him. Beyond his youthful exuberance and signature comedic appeal, a complex and highly textured persona quickly shone through. I can't count how many times I spent 8 hours sitting next to Brandon in a truck. It was never a chore, never boring, always surprisingly productive. He caught on so quickly...such potential. [sobs in Spanish] One of my younger troops, Brandon was a natural leader, capable beyond his years and showed an immediate knack for the ways of the United States Air Force. I'm a better person for having experienced the company of such a unique individual. Brandon will be fondly remembered and missed. May his family and loved ones' woes be lessened by his shining memory.
