Braeden Mahlke

Organ Donor

2003 — 2006

Braeden was a happy little boy who loved all things musical- his toys, the radio, singing. He liked the outdoors, playing in the sandbox or the snow, going for walks, or riding around the yard on his riding toy. He loved to bounce on his trampoline and climb on the furniture. He loved to be tickled and give snuggles.

Braeden had surgery to repair acid reflux disease, and there was a complication. He died 2 1/2 weeks before his 3rd birthday. When we were asked if we would be interested in organ donation, we knew the answer was definately yes. Brae donated his kidneys on May 19th, 2006.

"I have you in my heart". We love you forever and ever, Braeden!
