To the North lies Alaska, where TYLER JAMES BRAFFORD (Hoksila Cante) was born on December 7, 1985 to Harold James Brafford and Kathryn Sue (Fisher) Brafford, at the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage Alaska. Tyler James began his journey to the Spirit world on May 6, 2022. He was 36 years young.
Tyler grew up a proud member of the Oglala Sioux Lakota Nation of South Dakota. He was a talented and gifted athlete and sports enthusiast. He was most certainly a unique and amazing Wonder, Son, Grandson, Brother, Nephew and Cousin. He truly loved his Family and the Las Vegas Raiders, Oakland Aâs, Sacramento Kings and Oregon Ducks. He was a high School two sport varsity letterman, playing basketball and baseball. He proudly laid claim to the record in the long range three-point basketball shootout. He often teasingly remarked that he rode a sheep longer than his Brother in the mutton busting event at the Stonyford Rodeo. He was our hero and went into overtime with everyone. His time is now done.
He is preceded in death by Harold M. Brafford (âGrandpa Bâ). He is survived by
his Father Jimmy, Mother Kathy, Brother Travis, Sister Kelsey, Grandparents Thelma Brafford, Kay and Tom Fisher, Uncles Donnie, AJ Sr., Keith and Lee, Aunties CJ, Debra, Karen, Cynthia, Carlene, his many close and loving Cousins and two nephews.
The family will hold a viewing on May 30th at East Lawn Greenback from 1:00 to 5:00 pm and Rosary service will be held at 6:00 pm. There will be a funeral service at Saint Joseph Marello Catholic Church 7200 Auburn Folsom Rd, Granite Bay CA. Tuesday May 31,2022 at 12:00 pm. Followed by a celebration of life reception at the Saint Joseph Marello Catholic Reception Hall at 1:00 pm.
Sometimes God calms the storm, sometimes God lets the storm rage and calms His child, the darker the night the brighter the stars. The deeper the grief the closer is God.
God Keeps, Tyler James. Lateâ¦
