Michael Ray Brasch, born September 10th, 1947 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, passed away April 6th, 2020 at his home in Bechtelsville, Pennsylvania. Michael was born to Margaret E. Peterman Brasch and Francis X. Brasch who preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife of 46 years Kathleen R.

Michael grew up in North Wales, Pennsylvania and graduated from North Penn High School. He was a veteran of the Vietnam war where he was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star medals. After his service in the military Michael worked for the United States Post Office for 37 years until he retired. He was very active in his church, Full Gospel Church of Living Waters, where he was ordained to minister and often shared sermons. He viewed his fellow church members as an extension of his family and his dearest friends. He loved to read his Bible and lived his life as a fully devoted disciple of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Michael was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who deeply enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren playing cards or eating pizza and ice cream. He loved to spend time on the boardwalk with his wife, Kathi, enjoying the ocean in Ocean City, New Jersey.
A memorial service will be held at a later date due to current ‘shelter in place’ and gathering restrictions.
Arrangements by the Linwood W. Ott Funeral Home, Inc. 111 North Reading Ave. Boyertown, PA.
