"Braddox was a popular student, well-liked by students and staff alike. He was an extroverted, natural leader and gifted athlete in multiple sports," Principal Dunn said in the letter. Always friendly, upbeat, and curious, he was the kind of student whose group could be counted on to excel at whatever the academic task happened to be. "
