Braydon Reece Yoder passed away on October 3rd, 2022. Braydon graduated Wooster High School in 2020 he loved playing football for the Generals. But when he was younger his true passion was playing for the Waynedale Golden Bears. As he grew older, he loved playing pickup basketball games with all of his buddies at Christmas Run Park. He had an infectious smile and a heart of gold; he was very quick witted and a gentle soul. Even after Braydon was gone, he gave tissues and organs that will be used to help 75-100 people who were in need. If you had the privilege to be a friend of his he was loyal and would stick by your side through thick and thin. When Braydon was a younger boy, he played nerf guns in camouflage with his brothers. Once, when Braydon was young, he was able to carry his older brother Bradlee after a long day of fun in Cozemel, Mexico on his back onto a cruise ship for safety. He was a true confidante for his younger sisters who trusted his advice and he enjoyed being a role model for them when all of his brothers flew the coop. He was formally employed at Gojo.
Braydon is survived by his parents Rick Yoder and Tammy Yoder (Curt Middleton), brothers Dr. Brett ( Dr. Cory) Yoder, Bradlee Yoder (Pikeville, KY), Bryson Yoder, Brodie Yoder, Braxxton Yoder and sisters Brielle Yoder and Brezlynn Yoder, niece Coralyn Yoder, girlfriend Madison Jackson. He is also survived by many friends and his especially Elijah Hall who was like a brother. Also, his grandfather Albert Yoder of Mount Eaton and several aunts, uncles and cousins. He is preceded in death by brother Micheal Yoder, Mimi Birdie Weber, Papa Jack Weber, Grandma Iva Yoder.

I am so very sorry for your loss, I can’t imagine how incredibly painful this it. Braydon and family are in my prayers. I was one of Braydon’s classmates in highschool and we had classes together every year. Though we weren’t very close, I remember specifically in English class, every time we had to give a speech I was so nervous, I would shake profusely. He sat a few seats behind me and would always say “you got this” or “you’re gonna do great”. He was always the first to clap and tell me I did a great job when I sat down. It’s always the small things that people remember and they mattered to Braydon. He was such a sweet kid and it really hurts to see kind people like him being taken so young. Bad things always have to happen to good people.
May he Rest In Peace, and be remembered for eternity. He will forever live on in my heart and memories.
Love and prayers for the entire family.
Rick and Tammy, you are both in my prayers. So sorry for your loss.
Prayers to all the family, so sorry for your loss!

I am so very sorry for your loss! Braydon was a good person. I’m glad to have known him and got to work with him. We liked to joke by sneaking up and scaring each other at work.

My sincere sympathies to the family. Praying for comfort & peace.
condolences to his family, all of his family. Just don’t understand why none of his black family is mentioned when madison is in his obituary, makes no sense at all.
Dear Troyer family, I remember Braydon from when he was a little tyke in preschool. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your son and brother. May our Holy Father wrap his arms around you with comfort and peace.
My family and I are so sorry for your loss.
My heart goes out to all of you. I will always remember Braydon by his smile, kind heart, loving soul. I can still remember the first day of school for him and Ethan and watching them grow into men. Lots of hugs and prayers going out to you all.
Thank everyone for all your prayers and comments. We look forward to see all of Braydon’s friends and family later today to celebrate his life. We have had questions about viewing. Do to the injuries and the organ donations viewing will not be possible but we will have Braydon there and will celebrate his life. Rick Yoder
