Brayden Crawford was born on October 30, 2006, and was truly one of a kind. He was my boyfriend and the backbone for so many people—always strong for everyone around him, especially me. Brayden was a hard worker, determined to do anything he put his mind to, and he brought so much love and strength to his family and friends. He showed his toughness not just in what he did, but in how he supported and protected those he cared about most.

His passing at just 19 years old was completely unexpected, and it has left a huge hole in the hearts of everyone who loved him. Most heartbreaking of all, Brayden leaves behind his young son, As’ijah, who is just under 2 years old and will now grow up without his father. I want to do everything in my power to serve Brayden as well and get him the justice and right service he deserves, because no one deserves to bury any of their family. We are reaching out for help to cover the costs of his cremation, to support his family as they grieve this unimaginable loss, and to help provide for As’ijah in the years ahead.

We would greatly appreciate anyone who can help with anything, no matter how small. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting Brayden’s family and his son As’ijah in this time of need.
