William (Bill) Braden

June 17, 1971 — Jan. 10, 2025

William (Bill) Deen Braden, 53, born June 17, 1971, in The Dalles, Oregon, passed away Jan. 10, 2025, in Spokane, Washington, after a very brief struggle with an aggressive form of lung cancer. Bill attended school in Lind through his graduation in 1989. After graduation he moved to Moses Lake and began to attend Big Bend Community College studying auto mechanics to further his dream. Bill had found his calling early in life. He found his love to find out how things were built and operated at a young age with his grandfather and his father by his side. He then wanted to pursue that love of knowledge into his career of being a mechanic of all things. Nothing was too small or big for him to learn.
