Young musician dies
Carol Brimm
Willy Bracklein, 18, passed away in his sleep on May 20, 2007 just two days after graduating from Mustang High School. Friends who spoke with Bracklein at Project Graduation on Friday said he was excited about beginning his professional music career with a recording session set for Monday, May 21. Bracklein wrote music and played guitar and bass with local band, The Surely Method. The band recently won a statewide battle of the bands competition and was scheduled to perform at “The House of Blues” in Las Vegas, Nev.
Oklahoma State Medical Examiner Chief Investigator Kevin Rowland said the cause of death is pending but there is no evidence of foul play. A memorial fund has been set up for Bracklein at Yukon National Bank. Contributions to the ‘Willy Bracklein Memorial Fund” can be made at any YNB location.
