Braulio Sandoval, 28, of Austin, Minnesota, died at his home on Saturday, April 8, 2017.

Braulio Sandoval was born to Juan and Christina Sandoval on Oct. 21, 1988, in Brownsville,Texas. He and his family moved to Austin in 1999 where he was raised and lived the rest of his life.

Braulio was the most loving father, son, brother, uncle and husband. He always thought of others before himself. If you needed anything, Braulio would be there, no questions asked. He enjoyed listening to country music, playing Xbox, having cookouts and spending time with his kids. Braulio loved to go on vacation to Texas to visit his mom, Cristina Sandoval. He enjoyed fishing with his brother and kids. Braulio always looked out for his family and took really good care of them. It’s hard moving on without him in their lives. He was their strength and their rock, and always kept them going. They will miss him very much and love him deeply.

Braulio is survived by his common law wife: Tiffany Zempel and three children, Braulio Sandoval Jr, Fernando Sandoval, and Aviano Sandoval; his mother, Cristina Sandoval; brother, Juan Sandoval Jr (Celleny Garcia); sisters, Maria Sandoval (Juan Deanda) and Manuela (Jose) Salazar; uncle, Emilio (Jill) Sandoval Jr ; nephews, Juan IV; Raul, Victor, Eduardo, Maverick, Oakley, and JJ Sandoval III; nieces, Liliana, Emily, Bianca, and Maricela; and father-in-law and mother-in-law, Bruce and Gerry Zempel.
