RIP Marc Braun Team 3176

[Chris Noble]

It is with a sad and heavy heart that I am posting this.

Yesterday a family member of Team 3176, Purple Precision, is no longer with us.

Marc Braun was the founding teacher of the team 3 years ago. But for everyone that knew him, he was so much more than a teacher or a mentor, he was a friend and a part of the family. Always striving to have fun and enjoy ever second with the team, Braun always knew how to make the best out of every situation. From the long nights spent bickering about the robot, to the offseason time where we spent time as a team and had fun, Braun was always there. But the most important thing is that Braun cared about everyone that he met. Braun loved this program and will forever be remembered as part of the FIRST family, a mentor, and a friend. It is necessary, however, to move forward with all due respect in remembrance for Marc.

As more details of arrangements are known, we will keep this thread updated.

We ask everyone to keep Marc and his family in your prayers.
