Braden Patrick Bleek, 23, of Stevensville, died at St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula on Sunday, Dec. 6, 2009.
He was born Dec. 27, 1985, at Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane to Gary and Jacqueline (Van Sickle) Bleek.
He was a graduate of Corvallis High School, graduated from Wyoming Tech as a diesel mechanic and while in high school was a member of basketball and track teams.
Braden worked as a security guard for GlaxoSmithKline. He enjoyed restoring old cars, playing paint ball with friends, movies, computer time and games.
Braden was a fun-loving young man who loved and lived with a big heart and great enthusiasm. His family and friends came first in his life. He loved his muscle cars and his animals, especially his constant companion “Scooter.” We all will miss his always smiling face and wonderful sense of humor. But in our sadness we will feel joy as he watches over his family and friends.
His sister Katherine Leann preceded Braden in death.
He is survived by his parents, Gary and Jackie Bleek of Stevensville; grandparents, Patrick and Lee Van Sickle of Spokane, and Violet Tanglin of Sydney.
