Bradyn Steven
“the best big brother - he was the protector.”
Who is Bradyn Steven?
“Bray was our only son, my first born, and the best big brother - he was the protector. He brought so much joy to everyone that knew him! He loved big, and cared deeply for the people in his life. He was kind, loved to make people laugh, and a had a little wild side too! He would light up a room with a contagious smile.”
- Jasmine, Bradyn’s mother
protector
He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, swimming…
…but his most favorite thing was riding his dirt-bike or four wheelers.
He lived on wheels…”
“There’s not a day that passes that we don’t miss our boy, we think of him always”
- Bradyn’s family
“2 months, 1,460 hours, 87,600 minutes since you left for school and never came home.
The longest, hardest 2 months of my life. I miss you so much son! I miss being your mama. I miss washing your clothes, waking you up…I miss sharing my hair spray… I miss you asking me most everyday to go somewhere with one of your friends.
Your jokes that were so funny, but a little inappropriate, that I had to hide my laugh, and correct you at the same time.
My boy I love you so much,
from your first breath on, you were my heart…
My life will never be the same without you, but I'm doing the best I can for daddy and the girls. Love u, mama”
- Jasmine, Bradyn’s mother
How Bradyn’s drawing impacted the family…
“Receiving Bradyn’s drawing was so special for me…just the thought of someone to care so much about someone whom they have never met…to do something so sentimental…meant so much. I have the drawing on my shelf in my bedroom.
Bradyn is the first face I wake up to in the morning, and the last face I see before going to bed.”
- Jasmine, Bradyn’s mother
How to remember Bradyn…
Be like Bray.
Love big, don’t sweat the small stuff, and have fun!
Life’s too short to stay angry.
