Braun, who lived in Elk Grove, was the secretary to the Davis Board of Education from July 1999 until June of this year. At that time, he transferred to the position of expeditor for the district's maintenance and operations department. During the 1999-2000 academic year, Braun served as United Way campaign coordinator for Davis school district employees, helping to raise nearly $5,000 in donations. Braun served eight years in the U.S. Navy, attaining the rank of petty officer first class. He was also awarded two Navy Achievement Medals for outstanding performance of duties, and was designated a master training specialist. According to a story in the Fresno Bee, Braun was driving on Highway 43 near Fresno around 3 p.m. Sunday when another car swerved suddenly out of the opposite lane and struck Braun's car head-on. Braun was killed, and his wife suffered serious injuries. Their 1-year-old child, who was strapped into a safety seat in the back seat of the car, suffered only minor injuries. Braun was born July 5, 1964. He is survived by his wife, Samantha Prince; daughter Sarah Prince, 13; and son Dylan Braun, 1. Contributions to the Ron Braun Memorial Trust Fund can be sent to the Davis Joint Unified School District, attn. Aaron Shonk, 526 B St., Davis CA 95616. Checks should be made payable to Aaron Shonk, trustee. Funeral arrangements and a memorial service for Braun are still being planned.
