Naithen Charles Brazille SR. “Nathan"”

Naithen Charles Brazille Sr., affectionately known as "Nathan," was called to eternal rest on a peaceful Saturday, July 11, 2026. Born on April 19, 1959, in Wichita, Kansas, Naithen was a man deeply rooted in faith, family, and love. His passing on the Holy Sabbath, a day symbolizing peace and divine promise, brings comfort to those who knew him, as it was a reflection of his life-long devotion to his beliefs. Naithen was the treasured son of Jasper Brazille and Mae Vertis Ray-Lewis. Throughout his life, he embodied strength, wisdom, humor, and an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of those around him. His legacy is one of love, resilience, and faith. He is lovingly remembered by his siblings, Theresa Williams, Pat Harper, Venise Harper, Carletha Horton, and Cherie Burge, who cherished the bond they shared with him. However, his greatest pride was found in his children: Tranae Brazille, Deandre Barry, Jastan Brazille, and Naithen Brazille Jr., who were the light of his life. Naithen's heart was further filled with joy by his 15 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild, who brought endless smiles and happiness into his world. To them, he was not just a patriarch but a guiding light whose love was unconditional and everlasting. One of Naithen's most cherished memories was watching his children perform in The Lion King. He often reminisced about that night with fondness, describing it as one of the most perfect evenings of his life. It was a memory he held dear, an emblem of the joy his family brought to him. Naithen believed in the power of restoration and the constant presence of God's work, even in life's most challenging times. He often spoke with love about reuniting with his "Babygirl," a moment that brought him immense happiness and a sense of completeness. His faith and gratitude were central to his life, and he often thanked Yahweh for bringing love back into his heart. Family and friends fondly remember Naithen's favorite sayings: "Bra—Zille... We have the power," and his loving advice to his children, "Let me tell you a secret... a secret about a father's love." These words encapsulated his teachings and the endless love he imparted to his family. In his own words, Naithen shared a profound secret about a father's love: "Fathers don't just love their children every now and then—it's a love that will never end. Amen." Though his voice is now silent, his love continues to resonate in the hearts of those he touched. Naithen's life will be celebrated in a private ceremony, honoring his wishes and the intimate bond he shared with those closest to him. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to a charity of your choice in Naithen's memory, continuing his legacy of love and kindness.
