Johnathon Braaksma Obituary
April 9, 1986 - February 24, 2025
Johnathon Lee Braaksma, 38, passed unexpectedly in the early morning of February 24, 2025.
Johnny had an untamable spirit and lived his life with passion and generosity. His true love was his music. From an early age, he began mastering every instrument he came across and was constantly trying to find his perfect "band". He loved the drums and playing bass above all. He lived in the Kearney area as a boy, where he discovered his gift for music, & it's there that his heart remained.
Johnny loved his family more than anything. He was a protector, animal lover, & a fierce friend.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Alice and Russell. He is survived by his parents - Lisa Schmidt & Louis Braaksma Jr., his siblings - Tiffany, Sharlee, & Brandon, and his two children.
Gone far too soon but never forgotten. As long as we're living, our Johnny you'll be, and you will always be our sunshine. There will be a private family service held in Iowa at a later date.
