Mama and Papa, I am so very sorry for your loss of Lance :( I know how much he struggled with this illness. While I never had the privilege of meeting Lance, I will never forget the stories Mama told of his love of cooking/grilling and for his kiddos! I miss you both so very much and am praying especially for your peace and your aching hearts during this time! Much love to you both, Casi

We were so sorry to hear of Lances' passing. He put up such a brave battle. I have many fond memories of playing in the backyard and endless hours of board games. We send our thoughts and many prayers to the Bratten family. God rest his soul.

I just can't believe Lance has left us so soon. He was great at what he did and was well respected here in Tennessee. Lance was my friend and he will be missed.

I'm so sorry to hear about your brother Lance.he was such a great man. I'm going to miss he coming to Tennessee. Praying for you all. Love you guy's!

I am deeply sorry to see the end of a dear nephew. My prayers are for Lance and hi family.

Deepest sorrow for my cousin I was blessed growing up with and work with at Filra-Systems.

My deepest sympathy and prayers to you and your family, Lance will deeply be missed.

My heartfelt condolences to Evan, Kalyn, Kyle, Aunt Louise, Uncle Jack, my six Bratten first cousins, your families, and his friends. My fondest memories of you, Lance, were our best days as boys: riding our bikes all over the West Bloomfield Hills neighborhood; sleepovers (especially the ones setting up makeshift tents to sleep outside); our first T-ball team together (The Padres), running to the "pop car" after the game; swimming so many hours at a time our fingers looked like raisins; picking and eating apples and plums in the backyard until our stomachs ached; sledding down the hill to the old pump house until we were soaked; getting beaten nine times out of ten at Risk, Battle Ship, and Atari Tanks; hitting makeshift base balls and yelling grand slam!; attempting field goals in the side yard (only you would hold the ball properly, so sorry about that, Cuz); sneaking too much of Uncle Jack's famous ice tea and lemonade combo; bunking up for months after the '76 tornado; King Vitamin or Crunch Berries for breakfast; trips to Efros drug store to load up on candy before movies at Old Orchard; wearing our uniforms to see The Bad News Bears; and Estes rockets--to name a little more than a few. We had great times together as young and not so young adults as well, but nothing can beat the memories of those uncomplicated days as boys. Lance, I'm so sorry and regret very much that we lost touch these past years. May you experience forever joy in Heaven in the arms of The Lord. I'll see you again someday. Eric Zammit

My entire childhood memories are of all the wonderful times growing up with the Bratten family. I loved that we lived in the same neighborhood, vacationed together, spent every holiday together and even went to the same schools. It makes me so sad that Lance will not be there for family get togethers. As Lance was the baby of the family, he was surrounded by so many older brothers and sisters. He grew to be a wonderful man and father. Especially to you Aunt Louise and Uncle Jack, your pain will be profound but I hope that in time you will feel comfort in the memories of the times that you were with Lance and loved him. Thinking of and praying for you. Karen Schneck

May our good Lord trade all your pains and sorrow with His joy and peace. May His Perpetual Light shine unto his beloved son Lance and may Lance rest in peace. Amen Paul and Mildred Chen Franklin TN

I am sending my deepest condolences to your entire family! I am a good friend of Collette's in Nashville. I did not know Lance, but have heard of many great things of him and your family! I hope to meet you all someday! Love and Prayers, Dawn Cerino and family

so sorry to hear he was so young. I have many fond memories of St James drive

I am sorry for everyone's loss. He died way too young. I wish things would have worked out better for all of us. He will me missed.
