A beautiful son, grandson, brother, friend, classmate, co-worker, Braeden James Hartup, who brought a lifetime of joy and immeasurable light to our lives. Braeden, truly never met a stranger, and to know him was to love him, and his infectious, room-brightening smile made that incredibly easy.

He leaves behind his incredibly proud parents, Wesley and Molly, his sister Olivia, and a community of family, friends, and Maple Creek Bistro coworkers who will forever cheer on his beloved UT Vols in his honor.
