Today is the 5 year anniversary of my brother John’s passing, and I wanted to share his story in long form.

This is a bonus episode, so bear with me as I take my time, and talk about some funny stories growing up, share his never quit attitude, and why his life was a gift.

John was my older brother by 3 years, and passed away at 36 from stage 4 colon cancer. I wanted a place to share his story and legacy so anyone could get to know him.

I’m also sharing this for anyone who has walked through hard things like:

Tragic Car AccidentsTraumatic Brain InjuryStrokeLosing a Child, Sibling, or ParentBeing a Caretaker

I talk about being teased as a kid, the crazy dares he used to make me do, how he persevered and obtained a masters degree with a brain injury, and even finding the love of his life, his wife Bonnie.

This is the story, from my perspective, of John Frederick Brauning V.

Thanks for listening.
