Brayden lived life loudly, passionately, and with a spirit that could light up any room. Whether he was on the field, on the court, or simply surrounded by family and friends, he brought energy, laughter, and unforgettable memories everywhere he went. A natural athlete and fierce competitor, he excelled in sports and played every game with determination, heart, and grit. He loved the thrill of competition, but even more, he loved the friendships and moments that came with it.

Beyond his athletic talent was a boy full of personality and humor. Brayden was silly in the best ways — always joking, teasing, and finding ways to make people laugh, even on hard days. His smile was contagious, and his presence made life brighter for everyone lucky enough to know him.

He also had a soft spot for animals and a deep love for fishing. Anywhere there was water, Brayden wanted to throw a line in. Whether it was a lake, pond, river, or backyard fishing spot, he was happiest outdoors, surrounded by nature and doing something he loved.

Above all else, Brayden deeply loved his family. He adored his mother and never missed a chance to make her feel special. He looked up to his father with admiration and pride, always wanting to follow in his footsteps, learning from him. And no matter how much he and his sister argued, teased, or went toe to toe, their bond was one built on love, loyalty, and a lifetime of memories.

Brayden was preceded in death by maternal grandparent, Elidia Blanco; and paternal grandparent, John Martin.

Brayden is survived by his parents, Michael and Amanda Martin; and sister, Bailey of Aledo; maternal grandparent, Jesse Blanco of Fort Stockton, Texas; paternal grandparent, Noel Martin of Venus, Texas; as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

Pallbearers include Caleb Cantú, Colton Cantú, Joseph Campo, Henderson Gaylord, Noah Mullins, and A.J. Myser. Honorary pallbearers are, Jakoby Clukey, Dalton Deary, Ian Letcher, and Owen Snyder.

Though his time here was far too short, Brayden leaves behind a legacy of laughter, strength, love, and joy that will live on forever in the hearts of his family, friends, teammates, coaches, and all who knew him.

He will be deeply missed, endlessly loved, and never forgotten.
