A beloved father, son, uncle, and baseball coach, Bryant Krauth, affectionately known as Chubbs, passed away in an accident on December 27, 2026, in a vehicle accident at the age of 34.

Ashley, a specialty sales supervisor at Living Spaces, and Bryant had started their relationship not long ago, on October 29, 2026.

Sadly, just 2 months after getting committed to each other, their dreams were cut short. Thus far, she hasn’t broken her silence on his tragic demise.

Everyone who knew Bryant is just heartbroken right now, given the fact that just a few days ago, he was spreading joy, stopping to help people before Christmas, full of life like always.

But on Christmas, he succumbed to the injuries sustained in the accident.

However, the thing that stings the most is that life was never easy on him, not even from the beginning.

When he was only 8, he survived a plane crash that took his whole family.

The doctors said he might never walk again, but Bryant proved them all wrong. He got up, kept going, and lived a really full life being an amazing dad, a coach, a mentor, a friend, and every role you name it.

Wow not the news you want to wake up to. Thoughts and prayers go out to Bryant Krauth and his family. Especially his kiddos. So sad to hear of him passing. Bryant was a great baseball coach.

Zimmy Zimmerman, one of his friends, wrote a brief eulogy describing the life he lived to the fullest, regardless of his difficult beginnings. He wrote:

Life is not fair, I don’t understand God at all. An 8 year old lives through a plane crash losing family and is told he may never walk again.
Not only does he but he thrives and becomes a father, a very present and active loving father. A baseball coach and mentor to other children.

Details about his memorial and funeral services have yet to be published by his family as they are grieving his loss.

During this difficult situation, we pray for the strength of Bryant’s kids, girlfriend, extended family, and friends.

Rest In Heavenly Peace, Bryant Krauth!
