Thomas M. Braun

vet
Dec 31, 1951 – Jan 12, 2016

Racine – Thomas Michael Braun, age 64, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, January 12, 2016 at Wheaton Franciscan – All Saints Medical Center.

A lifetime resident, Tom was born in Racine on December 31, 1951 to the late Jerome and Dorothy (nee: Konrad) Braun. Proud to have attained the rank of Eagle Scout, recipient of the “God and Country” award, and a 1970 graduate of JI Case High School, Tom went on to faithfully serve our country with the United States Army in Germany.

On November 4, 1972 in Racine, Tom was united in marriage with his dearly loved wife, Jeri Ann (nee: Ernst). Tom was employed for over 40 years as a skilled & trusted steamfitter member of local 118 in SE Wisconsin, most recently for Mechanical, Inc.

Tom was an active member of the Winchester Gun Club where he enjoyed traveling with friends on various expeditions. He was an avid sportsman, hunter and fisherman. Above all, Tom’s greatest joy in life was his family – especially his adored granddaughter, Kallie.

Surviving are his loving wife of 43 years, Jeri; beloved daughter, Natalie Braun; cherished granddaughter, Kallie Braun (also known as “Little Girl” to Tom); brother, James (Karen) Braun; sisters-in-law, Becky Ernst and Sue (Kurt) Lorenzini; his faithful canine companion, Maddie; nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends – too numerous to mention by name.

A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, January 19, 2016 at 6 pm at Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home with Fr. Dustin Fecht officiating. Visitation will be in the funeral home on Tuesday from 4:00 – 6:00 pm.  Cremation has taken place and private inurnment will be at West Lawn Memorial Park. In recognition of Tom’s love for animals, memorials to the Wisconsin Humane Society – Racine Campus has been suggested.

Testimonials

The Munoz Family

My siblings and I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to plan a funeral for our beloved mother – Juana Munoz. During this difficult time, we were fortunate enough to come across a funeral home that truly went above and beyond what was expected. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the entire process was truly remarkable. From the moment we stepped foot into the funeral home, we were greeted with warmth and compassion. The staff members, but specifically Mark was incredibly understanding and empathetic, making us feel at ease during such a challenging time. Mark took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, and his guidance and support were invaluable. One aspect that truly stood out was Mark’s meticulous attention to detail. He paid close attention to every aspect of the funeral arrangements, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From the floral arrangements to the music selection, every detail was carefully considered and executed flawlessly. Mark even noticed that the temperature in the room was getting warm and promptly adjusted it to ensure our comfort. What impressed me the most was their commitment to our safety. Mark and his team took every precaution to ensure that our family and guests were protected throughout the entire process. From the funeral home to the cemetery, Mark made sure that all safety measures were in place, including providing hand sanitizers, and even arranging for additional staff members to assist with crowd control. Furthermore, Mark’s professionalism and organization was evident in every aspect of the funeral service. He coordinated seamlessly with the cemetery staff, ensuring a smooth transition from the funeral home to the final resting place. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly made a difference in our overall experience. In addition to their exceptional service, the funeral home also provided us with resources and support beyond the funeral itself. They offered grief counseling services and connected us with local support groups, which proved to be invaluable during our grieving process. Overall, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Mark, and broader, Draeger Langendorf team. Their attention to detail, commitment to our safety, and genuine compassion made a difficult time a little more bearable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of funeral arrangements, as they truly go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that families are supported throughout . the entire process. – Epifanio and The Munoz Family
