Brad Francis Braden October 13, 1953 - August 24, 2022
We mournfully & joyfully announce the passing of Brad F. Braden. He died peacefully at the Tidewell Hospice in Bradenton, Florida at the age of 68 years old with his family by his side. He went to be with Jesus on Wednesday, 24 August 2022. He beat Cancer 14 years ago and this time it got the best of him.
He will now be a "Soldier in the Army of God."
Brad was a most humble, gentle soul to me.
Brad is survived by his son Skyler Braden of Nashville, TN, his twin brothers, BJ Braden of Palmetto and Barry Braden of Blairsville, GA. He is preceded in death by his Mother, Norma I. Braden (2002) and his Dad, Capt. Jerry F. Braden (1989).
Brad was born October 13, 1953 in Meadville, PA. He graduated from Palmetto High School, the Class of 1971. So, he received his PHD - "Palmetto High Diploma" Ha Ha.
His passion in life was music and he was an avid guitar player. He played his last music as the bass player with the Sun City Christian Center in Wimauma, FL. Brad also loved sailing in his many sailboats and enjoyed life with "Miss Kitty" his pet cat. He worked with Home Instead for almost 11 years.
Brad's wish was to not have a "Celebration of Life" event. The family has decided to honor his request. He will be cremated with the Groover Funeral Home. Ellenton, FL. His ashes will be spread at a place specifically chosen by him.
-Information from the Family
He was kind, polite, and on the quiet side throughout elementary and high school.
He made his mark with music, especially the guitar.
He's walking the Streets of Gold now.
May God bring the family comfort and peace
at this difficult time.
Brad will be missed until we see him again.
