Visitation will be held on December 2nd 2023 from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm with service following directly after at 3:00 pm at Royer Funeral Home Oak Grove Mo.
Jeffery (Jeff) Cornal Braden was born on September 10, 1958 in Versailles Missouri to Mother Billie J. (Braden) Woods and Father Cornal (Pete) L. Braden. He enjoyed spending time, making memories, and kicked back drinking a few cold ones with family, friends, and his best furry friend Chief. He didn’t care who was walking by him when he needed a beer it was his famous words” hey so and so grab me a cold one would ya”. He was a huge chiefs fan he enjoyed kicking back drinking a few cold ones especially with his brother. He was a very hard worker from Brunson Instrument Company for several years and Wilbert but unfortunately had to leave due to medical reasons. He was a lot like his sister and brother they would give the shirts off their backs to anyone. He definitely lived for his children and those grandbabies they were the joy of his life for sure! He had a huge impact on many peoples lives because of the amazing, loving, and caring person he was. I think we can all agree Jeff will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
