I saw this show last night. What a story. I sure hope Bradyn is found soon. He must have been so scared.

A special story written by Braydn's family for the 18 Wheel Angels campaign:

To All Truck Drivers, (and other kind helpers)

We want to thank all of the Truck Drivers who involve themselves in finding our missing loved ones. We pray that you can help our family find our loved one. You are the eyes for all of us that have loved ones missing and you are truly angels.

At the time of his disappearance we were living in Kansas. Bradyn talked to his mom almost every day. July 15th she talked to him at 2:30 in the afternoon and a few days later his car was found on the side of the road outside of Douglas, Wyoming (near Mile Marker 121). There was nothing in the conversation that made her feel like something was wrong. There was a receipt in his vehicle that showed that he had a flat outside of Wheatland, Wyoming and had it fixed. We are unclear as to why the vehicle was left just a short time afterwards. There appeared to be nothing wrong with it.

He is a very outgoing person and would accept a ride if he was asked. He would also talk to you and probably ask you about yourself. He worked at Bass Pro and he loved the customers and hearing their stories. The amazing thing about him was that he never forgot a person or their story and he always made you feel like you were the only person in the world. He has a funny sense of humor and loves to laugh. He loves animals, especially dogs. He loves to fish and hunt and did so at every opportunity. He loves music too, but not like the normal kid. He liked everything from Tom Jones to Metallica. He loved the old songs and any John Wayne movie!

It is very out of character for him to not call or text his mom. He is very close to his whole family.

He is our youngest child and only son, and even though he is 22 and 6’ 4” he is still our baby. He has two sisters and a niece and nephew that are crazy about him. It has been very hard for us to get help getting his story out since he isn’t a missing child, but he is our missing child.

He is Catholic and always wears a St. Michael medal on a leather strap. He had received this when he became Godfather to his niece. He has asthma and suffers from migraines and when he left, he took no medications with him.

Our family is currently on a very emotional roller coaster ride. We have sent fliers out to homeless shelters, food banks, Catholic churches and any other public organization. He loves the mountains and we have spent many family vacations camping and riding through the mountains. We pray that someone might recognize him or remember seeing him somewhere along the way.

We can’t begin to describe the pain that we feel. It is the most absolute empty feeling in the world to not know if your child is okay. The agony of not knowing is excruciating, our bodies are in shock and our hearts are very heavy.

God Bless you for taking the time to read our story and if you think you have seen Bradyn, please contact Detective Kenton Thompson at 913-971-6206.

Thank you and God Bless!

The Family of Michael “Bradyn” Fuksa
