Obituary

Braeden Scott W Westgate, 15, a lifelong area resident, died on July 22, 2021.

Braeden was born in Rhinebeck on June 9, 2006 and was looking forward to entering his sophomore year at Roy C. Ketcham High School this September. He was a member of the Hopewell Reformed Church.

He played soccer for the Town of Poughkeepsie and Town of Wappinger and had played baseball for the Town of Poughkeepsie Cal Ripken / Babe Ruth Baseball League. As an enthusiast of sports and sports statistics, he was a huge fan of Boston teams including the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, New England Revolution, and the Bruins.

Braeden was an XBox gamer and enjoyed posting on social media. He liked to watch Friends reruns and shared quirky Joey Tribbiani quotes with family and friends. As an avid outdoorsman, Braeden spent a lot of time fishing, hunting, golfing, 4 wheeling, camping, and traveling. He loved animals, especially dogs and cats. More than anything in the world, he loved his family and friends fiercely, and protected those he loved…especially his older sisters.

Braeden is survived by his parents, Scott and Inis Westgate of Fishkill and Lynne and Paul Menard of Wappingers Falls; his sisters, Alexa Westgate and her boyfriend JP and Emma Westgate; his grandparents, Richard Westgate and Maureen Westgate; and many cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends who were like family to him. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Wessel and Frances Cross.

Calling hours will be held on Tuesday 2-4 and 7-9 pm at the McHoul Funeral Home, Inc., 895 Route 82, Hopewell Junction. A funeral service will be held on Wednesday at 11am at the Hopewell Reformed Church, 143 Beekman Road, Hopewell Junction followed by burial at Benton-Bar Cemetery in High Falls.

Donations may be made towards a scholarship fund that is being set up in Braeden's name. Checks may be made payable to Roy C. Ketcham High School, 99 Myers Corners Road, Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 with Braeden's name in the memo field.
