Funeral homes often submit obituaries as a service to the families they are assisting. However, we will be happy to accept obituaries from family members pending proper verification of the death.
On June 23, 1949, Mike was born in Stockton, California and passed away Saturday, March 7, 2020, from a sudden illness at the age of 70.
Mike attended school at District 9 and started his working life at the family business driving tow trucks for Brace Brothers. He was a gifted mechanic and worked many years for District 12 keeping the school busses rolling.
He had a passion for old cars and loved to tinker in his shop on his ever-growing list of projects. He loved racing his cars in local drag races.
Mike was truly a gentle giant known for his quiet sense of humor and helpful nature.
He leaves behind his wife of 50+ years, Peggy; daughters, Michelle and Mary; father Bud Brace; brothers, Tom, Chris (Bonnie); and sister Sue (Randy); four grandchildren, Mike, Kendra, Cassandra and Buddy; five great-grandchildren, Quinton, Justice, Jackson, Kalista and Finley; many special nieces and nephews; as well as his ever-present sidekick, his dog Willy.
He was preceded in death by his mother JoAnn; and his brother Richard.
A memorial will be held at the Brace family cabin at a later date.
