There is not a single thing I could say about Brayden that has not already been said. Everyone who knew him knew that if they ever needed anything at all they could call on Brayden and if he could not help them, he would find someone who could. I spent alot of my time in High School around Brayden, as a friend I grew to love him dearly. Most people move off after High School and forget about some of the friends they had, Brayden didn't let that happen. If I hadn't seen or talked to him in a while he would call, just to ask how I was doing and if I was okay. I just want to let Brayden's family know that Brayden will be missed terribly, and remembered forever by everyone who knew him.

Please know that Brayden was a very special person to everyone that knew him. Everyone has something special that they remember about Brayden and how he touched their lives. My son played ball with him in High School and I will always remember his smile and big heart. He never met a stranger and was always willing to help anyone. Michelle I know this is a hard time for you and your family but please remember that everyone is here for you with anything you may need. You hit it on the nutshell when I came to your house on Tuesday when you said that he is watching over you and telling you that everything is allright.

I don't even know where to begin. I have been knowing Brayden since I was a little girl. Our dads were best friends, so I always saw him. Every time I saw he had that big smile on his face, that would always make the whole room light up. I got close to him a few years back. We had many good time together. I will never forget Amber taking me and him to the mall to walk around and goof off and spending hours on the phone with him. I lost contact with him over the years, but always wondered what he was doing. I can see that we was loved by everyone and was always the light of the party. Just the way I remember him. I will never forget him and he will always be in my heart. Mr. Tim, Mrs. Kris, and Kade I will be here to talk to if you need me you know where to find me. Love yall all and Brayden too.

If this appears more than one time I am sorry. I am having trouble posting. To Brayden's Family. I am so sorry for your loss. Brayden was a wonderful person. I have alot of special memories of Brayden. With him being a classmate of Megan, and a great friend of Keith, Thank You Brayden for helping Keith. Like Big Keith said, Brayden was a great kid, everytime he seen Big Keith he would shake his hand and say how ya doing Mr. Keith, and then they would talk. I know Keith will miss those hand shakes and talks, like I know Megan will miss her classmate and Keith his friend. Myself, I will miss not seeing Brayden pass my house and blow the horn two or three times a day (really alot more times than that) sometimes he would stop if he seen Megan outside, most of the time he would pass and blow his horn, it was like he was telling us hello everytime he passed. We are going to miss you Brayden and We Love You.

Keith, Andre' Megan and Keith



Kade and Laci,

You know that both of you are very dear to my heart. I love you both, and I am always here if you ever need anything.

Love you Both

Brayden was a wonderful young man. He was always smiling, he brought many happy days to my family and he will be missed.

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Brayden was one of my best friends and was undoubtably one of the best people i have ever known and i will miss him. I will never forget all the good times we had, everything from parties and boat riding to just sitting around and talking.There was never a dull moment when brayden was around. Brayden was also very talented and he was willing to help anyone. there were pleanty of times when i was working and he came and started helping me without me even having to ask. I can never thank him and kade enough for helping me work on my house. The last memory i have of Brayden is a good one. The night before his accident him and his girlfriend came over to my house and him and i barbequed and talked about old times and also some of the plans he had for the future and it makes me sad to know that he wont get the chance to live out those plans. It was a Privilege to be a friend of Braydens.
Our thoughts and out prayers go out to Kade, Mrs. Michelle, Mr. Tim, Mr. John, Lacie, and all of the family.

There can never be anything said at this time to relieve the pain that is felt when someone that we love so much is no longer physically with us. Only God and time can do those things.



Our sentiments echo what everyone has already said about Brayden. He was a very kind and respectful young man.



To Brayden's family:

God has given you memories that can never be taken away and will be held onto until the day that you are with Brayden again. If you will allow Him to, God will surely carry you all through this time.

Psalm 34:17-18

The Lord hears good people when they cry out to him, and he saves them from all their troubles.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and he saves those whose spirits have been crushed.



To Brayden's friends and peers:

Do not let Brayden's passing be for nothing. As an honor to him, learn from it.

Its so sad to see the life that is lost, I wish there were words to comfort the family and friends of Brayden, but there isnt, when i found out, I was not at home, I flew home in my truck just to hold my mom because i knew Brayden all my life, and it hurt so bad to know he was gone. I remember when my cousin used to live next door to Brayden and they would always come over and we would jump from my cousin's roof onto the trampoline, we always laughed. I had a class with Brayden in high school it was CHILD DEVELOPMENT!, wow was that fun, Brayden got his turn to have the child for a few days, that child went thru some stuff, We had a picture of Brayden holding the childs head back saying, this is why i shouldnt have kids. We shared many laughs, he always picked on me, but he was a very good friend. He will definately be missed. Its so hard to see him go, knowing he was so young. Why this happened to such a good guy, we will never know, but he touched many hearts along his way. Made good impressions with everyone.



Kade:

You were in my class all my life, you were so quiet but still a great friend. I know this is very hard on you because you not only lost your brother you lost your best friend, you spent all your time with him. My heart goes out to you and if you need anything I am always here. If you dont kno how to get in touch with me, ask Chantel. She will give you my number. Never forget Brayden will be at your graduation and guide you along the stage, so you dont fall like i probably will... God Bless you all.



Love very much,

Mary, Michelle, Julius and family, my heart aches for you as you go through the days and weeks to come. I pray that God will continue to walk beside you and be your strength and comfort. Knowing he is beside us and that we walk in faith with him, has been my consolation in my loss of Dewey recently and I hope you experience that comfort also. I pray that God will wrap His arms of love around Brayden and that he will be swiftly led to the reward God has in store for him and that he will enjoy eternal peace and happiness in Heaven with all he loved who went before him. Someday, we will be reunited with those we've lost and loved and, oh, what a reunion that will be!

He loved ya'll very much and would express to me how great you were to him.I will miss my conversations with him very much. On behalf of my family, I express our deep sorrow. I love you guys very much and if there is anything I can do for you let me know. " God will Protect his Angels and bless them in his Kingdom.

We will always remember Brayden as a strong and confident person. He was a like a member of our family. We will always cherish the memories that he gave to each and every one of us. We will remember the Christmas parties that he came to at our house. We will always remember the great times we had with him during Mardi Gras. He loved his family and his friends more than life itself. Brayden has touched our lives in so many wonderful ways. We will always remember the funny and hilarious memories that Brayden gave to us and to others living in Maurepas. When anyone from Maurepas hears "Big-Hurt", "Bear Island Boys" or "Big Johnson", they will automatically think about Brayden. We will miss his great smile, his friendly voice, and his AWESOME jambalya. We thank God that He gave us the gift to have known such a very special person.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Johnson Family, the Anderson Family and the Jacobs Family. May God bless your family in this tragic time of need.

Mrs. Michelle, Mr. John, Mr. Tim, Kade and Laci...I will keep you all in my heart and in my prayers at this time. It hurts me so bad to see one of my classmates (Kade) looking so sad. There is nothing that I can do or say to take the pain away besides just being there for all of you.



Kade,

You are one of best friends and it kills me to see you not smiling and happy and joking like usually. It also hurts me that your memory of our graduation has been ruined...I promise you that I will always be here for you. Because I understand not only have you lost a brother you have lost your best friend!

Jeanne' Donovan

April 24, 2006

When I think about Brayden, I just smile.....because he brought so much laughter into my life. Brayden was the first person I met when I pulled into Maurepas School to interview for a job......He helped me carry my books and directed me to the office......It was the summer before his freshman year......Little did I know then the huge impact he would have on me, and on all of us...I can still see his sparkling eyes, hear his laughter echoing around me, and see that goofy grin that he always always had on his face. He will own a piece of my heart forever.

Well, not sure what to put. I keep writing this over and over again and each time, I end up crying and then laughing because I think of another great memory of him. Brayden was loved by all who knew him. There was never a person that I can say that ever really disliked him. He always brought smiles to the faces that knew him and when he left, you were either smiling or laughing. He was one of my good friends during school and I'll never forget the talks, the laughs, and the moments we had for when we were fighting or when we were actually getting along. I love him dearly and will always do so. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences are with you all. <3 Like a few had said already, may our memories bring you comfort. Love you all and love you Brayden. <3

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.



To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too... that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
