I have never met your family or Braden but our family is part of the Tumwater High School family so to speak since my son is a student there. Since we received communication about Braden's passing from the school, I have been thinking of your family and am so deeply sorry for the loss of your son.
I remember a story Shannon told me of Braden and his big heart / empathy. He was pretty young but sensed that a church friend and her family (who Shannon was visiting) were so sad over their own loss. He just sensed the mom’s sadness. He had God’s heart toward broken people.
We will all at Westwood Awana remember Braden coming in with the whole Dake/Cozby/Reynolds crew on Wednesday nights. He worked with the Kindergarten Sparks the past 4 years and those kiddos loved him. We are so sorry for the hole he will leave but are praising Jesus for the eternity we look forward to with him
