February 3, 2008 — July 29, 2026

Brayden, the angel who gained his wings before we were ready to let him go, Passed away on July 29th, 2026. Born February 3, 2008 in Owatonna MN to Marcia Johnson & Chris Grunzke. Siblings, Trevor Othoudt, Peyton, Savanna, Dominic, & Jaxen Grunzke. His Heart, Spirit, and soul were bigger than life itself. Brayden was a beloved Son, Brother, Uncle, Cousin, Nephew, Grandson and Friend. 18 years was not enough time to love him. Brayden had a bright future ahead of him, his work with AJ Moore Electric was just the beginning of his career. His focus on his family always came first. Helping Grandma LeeAnn to playing online with Hunter and every needed step in between. Brayden was always there for you. Found time for his adventures with his friends, which is such a blessing to see the closeness this group has and the bond that will never break. Not even in Death. Brayden you are the light in this room today and everyday. Our tears are because we miss you and want your physical presence. I know you are in Our hearts and by our side. You are My Angel, Then, Now & Forever.

Only a Memory Away

So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near. And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear all of my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say, "Welcome Home."
