Braxton Johnson

My family is grieving the tragic and untimely passing of Braxton Johnson. Braxton was a cherished son, brother, nephew, grandson, cousin and friend. He is pictured here on the far right with his parents Mike and Mardy, and his brother Josh. Braxton had a sweet and gentle spirit and a warm smile. He loved biking, hiking, reading and developing games to help others. Braxton loved animals and he also loved people despite his extreme shyness. He will be greatly missed by his family, his friends, and his community.

Braxton disappeared in the Arizona desert just over three weeks ago. Our family never gave up hope and expended great effort in the hopes of finding him and returning him home safely. We are heartbroken that while we have found Braxton, he is no longer with us.

If you are able, please consider making a donation to help cover funeral costs as well as expenses related to search and recovery efforts, as well as to help Braxton's parents and brother with immediate needs while they mourn the loss of their beloved son and brother.

Information regarding funeral arrangements will be forthcoming.
