Kevin A. Brayton, 62, of Crystal passed away peacefully on November 3, 2024 surrounded by his family.
Born on February 21 1962, Kevin was a devoted father to his beloved daughters, Lacey and Lexie, and a proud grandfather to many grandchildren who brought him immense joy. He had a deep love for the sandy beaches, warm weather, and cherished moments spent by the water, where he found peace and happiness.
Throughout his life, Kevin appreciated the small things. His favorite quote was, "A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the house I lived in, or the car I drove ... but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child." The lessons he imparted will be remembered by his family for years to come.
He is preceded in death by his mother Kathleen Meggitt, brother Ed Brayton, and sister Jill Pendergrass.
He is survived by his daughters Lacey (Trimell) and Lexie (Chad); his grandchildren Tsion, Jaysin, Terrell, Jamar, Tavion, Terrance, Timaya, Carson (Mia), Jordyn, Jaycie, Brock, and great-granddaughter Oakley; his father David (Helga) Brayton; his sister Susan (Phil); his brothers Jack (Marty), Mike (Barbie), Rick, Duwayne and former brother-in-law Jeff Walthorn; and many nieces and nephews.
There will be an informal celebration of life gathering on November 17, 2024 from 2pm-4pm.
