Mr. Bragg was an avid sportsman who loved to hunt and fish and found beauty in the early sunrise. He enjoyed traveling and always looked forward to planning his next big adventure. Mr. Bragg was full of laughter and was known for being a practical jokester, loving to pull a good prank. In his younger days, Mr. Bragg enjoyed riding dirt bikes, skydiving, and teaching Sunday School. He had an amazing talent for music and played the guitar and organ. Mr. Bragg also enjoyed photography and loved a "day trip" with a camera. He made a career out of carpentry, of which he was extremely talented.
Mr. Bragg was a devoted husband and Daddy. After the loss of his beloved wife, he was never truly content, missing her daily. His love and devotion to her was unending and he longed for the day to see her again.
Mr. Bragg was a true family man and was a devoted Christian. He spent many hours a day studying his Bible and had a very strong faith. Mr. Bragg will forever be remembered for the examples he set. Heaven was his goal, meeting his Lord and Savior face to face, of which he has now accomplished. We believe the reunion he made with his sweet wife was something so very special and have peace in knowing where he will spend eternity.
We love you and are praying we see you soon.
