Brayton Ray Hathorn was born Feb 21, 2007 and passed away unexpectedly on April 22, 2023.Â
He was a sophomore at Gordon-Rushville High School and a member of the football team, the wrestling team, and the Junior Niobrara Sportsman Club. Brayton brought so much love and joy into our lives and to those teammates who were around him.
Those who knew Brayton well, knew of the light in his eyes and the quirky grin on his face. He loved a good prank – anything to make those around him laugh – and he was an incredibly witty young man.
Brayton grew up around family, a lot of family. He enjoyed spending his time with his cousins, grandparents, and his horse Sugar. Our son relished the outdoors, and his best adventures were those out hunting in the sandhills or cruising with his brother and cousins.
We will forever miss your smile, your winking, and hearing the tunes of your endless whistling. Our broken hearts will forever be full of your memories.
Brayton is survived by his adoring parents Tayler and Nicole Hathorn, his beloved siblings Brooklyn, Braxton, and Bryson, grandparents Craig and Mary Musfelt, Maurice and Sandy Hathorn, his aunts and uncles Rick (Melissa) Musfelt, Misti (Billy) Starr, Kayla Musfelt, Taryn (Keith) Sauer, Jerod (Jennifer) Hathorn, Kyle (Kelsey) Hathorn, his cousins, his newborn nephew Copeland, and his best friend Braylynne McKimmey.
