of Searcy, AR
August 30, 2011 - September 28, 2024
Braxston Ray Sanders, 13, beloved grandson, son, brother, brother-in-law, nephew, cousin and friend, passed away in Searcy, Arkansas on September 28, 2024. He was born in Jonesboro, Arkansas to Billy and Alicia Sanders on August 30, 2011.
Braxston was the youngest boy of six children. Braxston was known as ''the little boy on the go-cart'' in the neighborhood. Braxston was loved by many family members and friends throughout his life. Braxston's most meaningful joys were his love for his family and friends, playing his Xbox, fishing, golfing and disturbing the neighborhood with his go-cart. He was known to get on everyone's nerves with his constant questions, but we would not have traded him for the world. Braxston expected a bag of Takis every time you went into a store or if he had done you a favor. Braxston made an impact on every life he encountered. He is and will be deeply missed.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Jerry & Brenda Sanders and Susan Nance. Left to cherish his memory are his parents, Billy and Alicia Sanders; his siblings, Destiny Rece, Charity (George) Boyd, Preston Sanders, Serenity Sanders and Liberty Talkington; his aunts and uncles, Daniel & Kristina Hubbs, David & Makayla Holt, James & Sherami Talkington, Dewayne Sanders, Timothy Sanders, Terry Lynn Sanders, Michelle Sanders, Stephanie Sanders along with many cousins. His Best friends, Ethan Channing, Zach Waters, Westyn Bennett, Michael Loggins, Seth Williams and many more friends.
Services are scheduled for a Visitation to be held on October 6, 2024 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM and a Celebration of Life to be held on Monday, October 7, 2024 at 1:00 PM both at Roller-Daniel Funeral Home Chapel in Searcy, Arkansas. Interment will follow at Oaklawn Memorial Gardens in Searcy. All arrangements are under the direction of Roller-Daniel in Searcy.

i know I'm late but braxton was my friend since 4th grade. It feels like just yesterday that we would be laughing together over stupid stuff. I still can't believe he's gone, I miss him so so much. I feel so so very sorry for his family. I love him so much, he will and always will be my bestfriend no one can ever replace him. We met because we had the same teachers in 4th grade and everytime we were in line to go to lunch or something I would come up to him and scare him, but after we would laugh about it and walk to lunch. I cry almost every night because of how much I miss him. Every time I think of him I just turn up my music and act like he's still here with us and everything's OK. If I could say one last thing to him it would be that I miss him and love him deeply.

I knew Braxton from my bus In 5 grade and he was the funniest kid and I remember him in my cub time and I know I'm late with this but I think of how sad his friends and family must be and he has been in my prayers on Wednesday nights at church and I pray for his family and friends and I need to visit his grave and sometimes when the sunset is pretty I think Braxton made that and school without him sitting with the people I sit with at lunch it doesn't feel right and I never expected this nice kid to die he was the joy in school And then I pray that he's doing good in heaven

he was my best friend and I am tanner and i want to say is Hey braxton I miss you I wish you were still here because ever since you died I fell into depression and feel like I want to die sometimes I wish I died instead of you dying but you won't want that because you told me “you live with purpose and reason don’t be ashamed of yourself live laugh love and stay strong for me.” Ever since you said that I have been trying to get help mentally and physically ha I remember you told me “I love nighttime because it is peaceful and birds chirping and crickets cricketing and the stars shining like the moon” so every night I would go outside and tell you goodnight. I hope you are having fun up there with family and friends please have a good time i miss you.
