Homegoing Celebration of | Barry Craig Bragton Sr.

Описание: We gather to celebrate the life of Barry Craig Bragton Sr., born on October 26, 1950, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to William Bragton Sr. and Sheila Ada E. Parker. On the morning of October 15, 2025, God called Barry home.

Barry proudly served in the United States Army beginning in 1975 — an honor he carried with pride, always seen in his Army Veteran hats at every occasion. He married Diane L. Hewitt in 1972, and together they raised two sons, Barry “BJ” Bragton Jr. and Kinte’ La Rue Bragton, instilling in them the values of strength, integrity, and love.

A man of many talents, Barry loved to cook, work with his hands, and live life with energy and purpose. He spent years as a sheet metal worker, cycled in his youth, and served as a member of the 1st Kings Grand Lodge of the Masonic Order. Known for his sharp style, Barry carried himself with dignity — always polished from head to toe.

Barry’s faith grounded him at the First Baptist Church of Crown Heights, where he found fellowship, joy, and purpose in serving others. His bold yet kind spirit touched everyone he met — a man respected, loved, and remembered deeply by his family, friends, and church community.

Barry leaves behind a legacy of love — his sons, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and all who were blessed to know him.

🕊️ Forever in our hearts.
