Arthur Bratton Obituary

Arthur 'Rich' Bratton of O'Fallon, MO, passed away Wednesday March 25th, 2026 at the age of 81.

Beloved husband of Petrece Bratton, cherished son of the late Anna H and Arthur L. Bratton; devoted father of Richard (Tammy) Bratton, Keith (Nanette) Bratton, Jeremy (Katie) Bratton, and Jacob (Kelly) Hood; loving grandfather of Hawke, Patricia, and Benjamin; treasured great-grandfather of Hensliee; dear brother-in-law of Claire (Bill) Bratton; best friend of Ken Blake; pet owner of his beloved Nuggee, Zeke, and Sable.

Rich worked in the trucking and forklift industry, retiring from A.D.Lift after 20 dedicated years. He was naturally charming, quick witted, and had the ability to make friends wherever he went.

Rich enjoyed making Christmas cookies, fishing, hunting, playing cards, darts, bowling, and softball.

He was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Memorials may be made in Rich's name to The Backstoppers.
