Obituary

Thomas Lee Braithwaite was born on November 16, 1958, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and passed away on November 2, 2026.

Thomas proudly served his country in the United States Navy, entering service on September 10, 1982, and completing five years of honorable service before his discharge on September 9, 1987. During his time in the Navy, he worked in the electrical field and earned several military recognitions, including the Good Conduct Award, Overseas Service Ribbon, Expert Rifle Ribbon, and Sharpshooter qualification with the .45-caliber pistol. His service to our country remains an important part of his life’s story, and his dedication is remembered with pride.

Thomas had a love for riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle and enjoyed the freedom and adventure of the open road. He also had a passion for remote-controlled airplanes and cars. He especially enjoyed working on them and taking them out to fly and drive. These hobbies brought him happiness and allowed him to spend time doing the things he truly enjoyed.

Thomas was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Cindy; his cherished dog, Sadie; his older sister, Peggy; and his father, James Sr.

He leaves behind his daughter, Keisha; his granddaughter, Angelina; his mother; his sisters, Deborah and Joan; his brothers, Mark and James Jr.; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and loved ones who will cherish his memory.

Thomas’s life was made up of experiences, passions, and memories that will forever remain a part of those who knew and loved him. He will be remembered for his military service, his love of motorcycles, his enjoyment of his hobbies, and the memories he shared with family and friends.

Though his passing leaves an emptiness that words cannot fully express, the memories of Thomas will live on through the family and loved ones he leaves behind. He may be gone from our sight, but he will never be forgotten.

Rest peacefully, Thomas. You will forever be loved, deeply missed, and always remembered.
