Braden Christopher Robertson, age 29, of Franklin, Indiana, and formerly of Wayne County, passed away Sunday, July 6, 2025.
He was born October 15, 1995, the son of John Remus and Jennifer Diana (Neavill) Robertson.
Braden had worked at Harr’s Ace Hardware in Flora and recently started as a certified Stihl technician at Hadwell Hardware in Franklin, Indiana.

I had the opportunity talk with this good young man two days before his death he had fixed a saw for me and we talked about things in general but the most important fact was he is a Christian and we witnessed about having Jesus as our lord and saviour we never know God's plan for us but we need to be ready for what ever it is God has blessed me by placing Braden and me together for that short period of time
Deepest sympathy to your family. Did not know your son personally, but in this small town, we all are family. Just know he was surrounded by people who cared about him. Please know we are praying for you all. The Armstrongs in Franklin IN
My heart is broken . I have nothing but love for the family and friends of Braden. I remeber when he was born and holding him for the first time and how good of a baby he was.

So sorry for your loss. Prayers for your entire family.
I had the privilege to meet him at the grocery store in Franklin. My son was being well, a toddler. He was throwing stuff out of my cart and he stopped me and gave me the stuff he had thrown. He reassured me that I was doing a good job. I remember his kindness in my moment of stress. Seeing what happened to him just days later doesn’t seem fair and although he didn’t live in this town long, all of our hearts ache. Our community chat is full of heartfelt sorrows for this young man. I am so sorry for the selfish act that took him way too soon. I want the family to know they could not have raised a better boy and I hope one day my son takes a page out of his book.
