Cole Allen Braulick was born on October 14, 1985, in Sleepy Eye the son of Allen and Pamela (Weicherding) Braulick. Cole was our “heavenly sunshine” and we were blessed to be his mom and dad.
Cole participated in Riding High, bowling, Jesus Cares, and Miracle League. Some of his greatest enjoyments were a long car ride, a breezy day with the sun to warm him. Cole loved his Wednesday evening excursions to McDonald’s. Cole cherished his time spent with family. Cole’s nephews held a very special place in his heart. Cyle and Lindsay’s unconditional love for Cole is reflected in the eyes of their boys, Bennett and Crue.
Cole lived a challenged life that taught our family many life lessons. Even though Cole was non-verbal he spoke volumes to those who knew and loved him.
Cole is survived by parents, Allen and Pam; brother, Cyle and Lindsay (Vogel) Braulick; nephews, Bennett Jon and Crue Allen Braulick; grandmothers, Patricia (Hittesdorf) Weicherding and Phyllis (Guggisberg) Braulick; Goddaughter, Elsie Rose Weicherding; Godparents, Sandy (Vic) Helget and Denise (Dale Berberich); aunts and uncles, Randy (Patti) Braulick, Jeanie (Gary) Schultz, Kevin (Bonnie) Braulick, Deanna Johnson, Timothy (Barbara) Weicherding, Terry (Pamela) Weicherding, Kay (Patrick) Davis, and Trent (Rashelle) Weicherding, and numerous great aunts, uncles and cousins. Cole is also survived by his second family and friends at Hope House where Cole received loving care throughout his life.
Cole was preceded in death by paternal grandfather, Roman Braulick; maternal grandfather, Jerome Weicherding; and cousins, Ruby Lee Weicherding and Jacob Weicherding.
“The will of God will never lead you, where the grace of God cannot keep you.”
Blessed be his memory…
