Luka Braovac Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Dec. 30, 2018 to Jan. 2, 2019.
Braovac, Luka Tomislav Passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on December 28, 2018 at the tender age of 11, after fighting a 4 1/2 year courageous battle with brain cancer. Luka was the cherished son of Bob and Carol Ann (nee Schauer), adored brother of Mara and Nina, loving grandson of Joseph and Mary Schauer and Mary and the late Dujo Braovac. He is further survived by caring aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends. Luka competed energetically in both soccer and golf. He was an avid WI sports fan and especially admired his "teammates" on the Marquette Basketball Team. Throughout his illness, Luka inspired those close to him with a determined outlook that encouraged them to strengthen their faith and find the positive things in their own life. Luka's family wishes to deeply thank and acknowledge doctors and staff at Children's Hospital of Milwaukee and also Children's Hospital of Augusta, Georgia who cared for him during his clinical trial and Seasons Hospice. Visitation will be Friday at Sacred Heart Croatian Church (N. 49th St. & W. Wells St.) 9:30 AM until time of Mass 12:00 PM. Also there will be a memorial service Thursday, January 10th at 6:00 PM at St. Alphonsus Church (6060 W. Loomis Rd. Greendale). In lieu of flowers, memorials to the family will be appropriated to selected Children's Cancer Research Foundations in Luka's honor.

Dear CarolAnn, Bob and Family,

Words can't express my sorrow at your family's loss. Our family has prayed nightly for Luka since learning of his illness. Although far too brief, may your family always treasure the time you did have with Luka and the memories you created.

With our deepest regret,
Jason & Diep Graham
