Jayson Micah Braddy, 39, of Nashville passed away on March 14, 2026.

Jayson was an electrician and was working toward becoming fully licensed. He was dedicated to his trade and education, recently finishing last semester at the top of his class—an accomplishment he was incredibly proud of.

Jayson will be remembered for his love of family, his determination, and the joy he found in the outdoors and the simple things in life. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
