Joshua Travis Braden

1987 - 2025

Joshua Travis Braden, 37 years, 11 months and 22 days, departed his earthly body at approximately 3:15 p.m. Friday, Sept. 12, 2025, in Sydney, Ohio, because of a motorcycle accident.

Joshua was born Sept. 20, 1987, and always was a person of love, laughter, family and music. He was a hard worker in many trades and upon departing this earth, he was operating his own lawn service. He always has been a young man of help to anyone in need. Joshua was one who could make you laugh, cry and sometimes angry, but at the end of the day it always was "I love you." He was a joy to his mom and dad and a lifeline to his grandmother and to his Uncle DD. He was a nephew, son, coworker and best friend forever. He is loved by thousands and he always returned that love. The life he lived and the way he was raised was an example of the life, love and devotion he gave to Satan's Sidekicks MC Nation and all who were his brothers and sisters.

Joshua leaves behind his 4-year-old son, William Travis Braden; his mother, Carolyn Cryer; his father, Billy Braden; his grandmother, Daisy Hart Mahoney; a special uncle, Daren Hart; his uncle, Dennis Lackey; and his girlfriend and expectant mother, Tara Shaw. He also leaves behind two stepchildren, Jaxon and Allura; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and a host of biker brothers and sisters.

The family will have a memorial service at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27, in the gymnasium of The Old School Market, 9050 New Jackson Highway in Magnolia with a tribute ride to follow. There also will be an after service gathering at the gymnasium following the tribute ride.

Visitation for family, friends and the community is from 1 to 6 p.m. Friday with after-hours visitation following and again at noon Saturday at the school .

Bennett-Bertram Funeral Home in Hodgenville is in charge of arrangements.
