Brayden Anthony Johnson-Middleton

Brayden Anthony Johnson-Middleton, AKA BJ, age 14, of Cedar Park, Texas, went to see the Lord on August 23, 2025. Brayden was born in Austin, Texas, on June 9, 2011. He was a shining light in the lives of all who knew him. Brayden is survived by his mother, Trisha Middleton; grandmother, Cindy Davis (GiGi); grandfather, Robert Middleton (Popeye); step-grandmother, Elizabeth (Glammy); uncle, Bobby Allen Middleton; great-great-grandfather, Robert Decker; great-aunts, Sharon Sewell, Cindy McPherrin, and Cathy Randall; siblings Bryce and Bradley Middleton, Nathan Johnson, and stepbrother Tyler Williams; father, Clinton Johnson; grandmother, Debi Jones (Nanny); aunt, Laurel Yurchick (Auntie LaLa); uncle, Ty Kittle; and great-uncle, Glenn Johnson, along with many loving cousins, family, and friends. He was preceded in death by his great-grandmother, Nora Middleton; great-grandfather, Jimmy Middleton; great-grandmother, Lela Jo McElroy; and grandfather, Timothy Johnson. Brayden was naturally talented in a variety of areas. An all-star in all sports, especially basketball, which was his favorite. He loved skateboarding and dancing. Starting at age 12, he pursued his dream of becoming a music artist, producing, recording, and improvising multiple songs in the studio. Brayden was the sweetest soul you could ever meet, radiating love and kindness to everyone around him. His gentle spirit and loving heart touched countless lives. In a powerful act of heroism and selflessness, Brayden chose to give the gift of life through organ donation, saving many children and becoming a true angel among us. His suffering, like that of Jesus who died for humanity, was borne with grace and courage, reflecting his extraordinary spirit. He was a sacred gift from God- an angel sent to bring joy, love, and happiness during his time on earth. Brayden's love for his mama was unwavering and undeniable; he was a devoted mama's boy through and through. He absolutely adored his little brother Bradley, who admired and looked up to him as if he hung the moon. His legacy of love, sacrifice, and faith will remain in our hearts forever. Everyone prayed for Brayden to live, and now he is living on, shining in memory and spirit. Thank you for your prayers and support during this profound time of remembrance and gratitude. May Brayden's spirit continue to inspire us all, shining as a beacon of hope, love, and divine grace. Pallbearers: Stacy Craig, Tyler Williams, Jonathan Matocha, Scott Jasperson, Shawn Curlee, Lee Rodriguez and Mac Whiteside.

I'm with the angels and watch over you every day. I know that you love me and in every special way. I'm sorry our time was all too brief. In good time you'll overcome grief. You'll see me every day In the souls of children who pass your way. I may be a cheeky boy With a dimple in his chin Or a little girl with a little golden curl. Please know that I'm alright. Cause when you look in the sky On a clear and starry night I will be that star shining so bright. I love you Mommy and Good Night.
