Robert C. Braund

December 3, 1941- April 25, 2023

Robert C. “Bob” Braund, age 81, of Willoughby, Ohio, passed away on April 25, 2023.  He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, December 3, 1941, the son of Robert “Bob” and Helen (Stophel) Braund. Bob was a good-hearted man that would do anything for anybody. He graduated from Eastlake North in 1960 and resided in Madison, OH and worked for the Lake County Coke Distributor. He relocated to Indianapolis, IN, around 1980 and began a career as an 18-wheeler truck driver, which he enjoyed until his retirement in 2002. It was in Indianapolis where he met his love and future wife Jean Lucas Braund. Besides his many travels and adventures with Jean, Bob’s other enjoyments were his lawn that won first place in the neighborhood for many years, model railroading, and the Indy 500 that he rarely missed. He moved back to Willoughby following his wife’s death and resided at Breckenridge Village with all the other amazing residents there that made him feel so much at home. In his last few years, he found enjoyment in the company of his good friend Pat Merideth who shared a love of watching comedy shows and baseball games.  Bob is survived by daughter Jacquie, grandson Jon Kurzinger (Erin) and three great grandchildren (Charlie, Grace and Amelia); niece Cortney Braund Rice (Daniel) and great niece Penelope, of Denver, CO; brother Kenneth also of Denver; and dear friend Pat Merideth. He was preceded in death by his parents and his wife Jean.

The family plans a private service in the near future.
