Bronson James
Dennis Latraille-Moen
May 25, 1998 — Nov 4, 2025
Bronson James Dennis LaTraille-Moen , age 27, passed away on Tuesday, November 4th, 2025, in Grafton, North Dakota. He was born on May 25th, 1998, in Brainerd, Minnesota. He is the treasured son of Rebecca LaTraille and Jamie Moen.
Bronson was a rare and radiant soul who reached into and impacted the lives of countless people. To simply meet him was to love him and remember the mark he undoubtedly left. His ability to find and spread felicity through the world made him a gravitational force on this Earth.
Bronson was a musician through and through; his words were his instrument. He would say, "Give me any word." Then he'd turn it into scripture. And if he wasn't given a word he'd use one from a street sign outside - and still somehow leave you speechless. Profoundly gifted in his artistry, he made those around him want to strive for greatness just from listening. Outside of music, family was Bronson's passion. He deeply cherished those who shared his DNA, but he also believed that family wasn't just blood. He unfailingly wore his heart on his sleeve in order to show everyone around him that it was big enough for all to be loved by him. So, if he ever made you feel unique or special, always believe and remember that - because he truly meant it.
