Jayson Micah Braddy

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.

He was an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting and fishing. In his spare time, Jayson enjoyed flying drones, building Legos, and spending time outdoors. He was also a devoted sports fan who loved cheering on the Atlanta Braves and Alabama Football.

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.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made towards supporting his dog, Onyx. Jayson was working towards competing in UKC and AKC hunt test with him, and we would like to continue that with Onyx.
