Braiden Key, born on September 22, 2000, in Paducah, Kentucky, left this world on August 15, 2024. A dedicated tankerman for the Crowley Barge Company, Braiden’s work ethic was unmatched. He attended Heartland Church and Victory Assembly Worship Center.
Braiden lived a full life, his passions ranging from the thrill of fishing and MMA to the melodies of music. His love for trucks, fashionable clothes, and an impressive collection of shoes were known to those close to him. He was a true friend, radiating kindness and always ready to share laughter. An animal lover at heart, Braiden’s protective nature was a comfort to all.
His most profound love was for his siblings, with whom he shared an unbreakable bond. Braiden’s spirited presence and unwavering loyalty have left an indelible mark on the hearts of those he cherished.
