    Mike Braly was born on April 20, 1958 to Charles Ray Braly and Leona Marie Rippy. He lived a life defined by being a wonderful person to anyone who met him or knew him. He always would help anyone, that was just who Mike was. He had the biggest heart, and he wasn't somebody that would give up on anyone. He was very smart, and a very hard worker. He was the most loving and wonderful dad to his children, and a beloved husband.
