Brayden Jacob Grygelko
March 9, 2005 ~ January 27, 2024
Born on March 9, 2005 in Wyoming, MN and went home to Jesus on January 27, 2024, at the age of 18, in Balsam Lake, WI. We only got a sneak peek at the man he was becoming.
Brayden grew up in Linwood, MN, a gifted self taught musician he had dreams to play on stage and share his talents with the world. His warm smile would light up a room and his sweet natured soul would sing. With melody in his heart and a guitar in hand Brayden is fondly remembered for his aspirations to be a rockstar but also have a farm and raise cows.
Brayden is survived by mother, Melissa Grygelko; father, John Kramm; step-father, Don Bierman; brothers, Lealand Bierman, Nathan Kramm; long-time girlfriend, Mia; loving grandparents; many aunts & uncles, other relatives & dear friends.
A celebration of Brayden's life 1-3 PM Sunday, February 18th with a time of sharing beginning at 1:30 PM at Roberts Family Funeral Home, Forest Lake. A luncheon will follow from 3-6 PM at the Forest Lake American Legion (355 W Broadway Ave). Please join us as we remember Brayden.

I remember when he was just a little tyke and was helping with burning some branches. He was wheeling the wheel barrow to empty the branches and I mentioned that he was such a strong guy. He puffed up his shoulders like he was so strong. I’ll never forget that.
I remember watching him from time to time, he was so full of energy and always very talkative. He loved swimming, we took him & Lealand to the beach a few times & he never wanted to get out of the water, unless of course we said it was time for pizza & ice cream. As he got older we saw him less & less as you do when kids are growing up & trying to find out who they are. Brayden you were & still are part of my heart I’ll never forget the first time I held you or the last time I hugged you. You will be terribly missed but never forgotten & loved forever.
When Curt passed away and you were only two years old you and your Dad came over to my house. Your Dad did quite a bit of repairs on the inside and outside of my house while I took care of you. You saved me from the greatest loss I have ever experienced.
I often took care of you and Lealand when your Dad went deer hunting and your Mom had to work until you were old enough to stay home on your own. I treasured those moments and have been thinking of those times a lot. As you got older I didn’t see you as much but that’s ok because you were growing into the man that you became.
I am so very sorry for you loss. Please accept my condolences.
