Jack Braun Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born January 9, 2007, to parents Paul & Erin, & siblings Hannah, Alison & Peter, Jack completed the Braun family with an exclamation point!
Born an 'old soul', Jack was passionate about history, film & music. A senior at Minisink Valley, Jack's future plans included attending Hunter College to study History and ultimately becoming a teacher.
A modern-day renaissance man, if Jack was interested in something, he would immerse himself into it - he read, studied, watched, learned, and tried it - no was never an option in his mind.
Jack has always been, & will continue to be, the bravest & strongest boy we will ever know ~ our very own Super Hero.
Left to cherish Jack's memory are his parents, Paul & Erin; siblings Hannah, Alison & Peter; Maternal grandmother (Mimi) Judith Hazen; Paternal grandmother (Nana) Diane Braun; Aunts & Uncles, Michele & Ken Mecking, Heidi & Charles Nyland; Cousins, Matthew Mecking (Catherine & family), Ayden Nyland, Travis Mecking & Ella Nyland: endless extended family members & many, many friends.
Predeceased by his maternal grandfather Sean T. Cunningham (G'pa), paternal grandfather Richard Braun, & cousin Emily Mecking ~ Jack was welcomed into Heaven by their loving arms.
There is no doubt Jack was saluted by the many historical figures that he greatly admired & enjoyed studying.
May Jack's life be celebrated by the beautiful way he lived it, and may his passing be not in vain.
A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, at Martinez Morse Funeral Home, 33 Railroad Ave. Middletown, NY, from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm. A funeral mass will be held on Thursday, October 3, 2024, at Holy Name of Jesus Christ, 45 Highland Ave, Otisville, NY, at 11:00 am.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Shriner's Hospital for Children or Maria Fareri Children's Hospital - two organizations that had played a large part in Jack's life.

As a member of the Minisink Valley district, I would like to send my thoughts & prayers to family, friends/ fellow classmates. Such a loss felt by many even if they didn´t know Jack personally. May you find peace in lasting memories that made you smile.

The place that most reminds me of Jack is the 52 Lookout. That will always be my place now and will forever be the place Jack always made a great time. Praying for his family and friends I don´t know how to feel without him.
