A 19-year-old missionary from Utah for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has died, the global faith announced Thursday.

Braxton Blake Mecham died “unexpectedly” Saturday, Oct. 17, at his home in Morgan, according to the family’s obituary. He had been serving in Tennessee’s Knoxville Mission since July, the church explained in a news release, but had returned home temporarily for a medical procedure.

No cause of death was cited.

“Standing nearly 6-foot-6, Braxton was impossible to miss, and his smile lit up every room he walked into,” the obituary said. “But it was who he was that people remembered.”

A musician, Mecham would often be found with a guitar in his hands, the notice added. “Heavy metal filled his world, and nothing made him come alive like creating music.”

During his volunteer proselytizing stint, “Braxton became the best version of himself,” the obituary explained. “Serving the people of Tennessee, he was happier than he had ever been. He loved them, and they loved him.”

A funeral is set for Monday in Morgan.

News of Mecham’s death comes a week after the church announced the recent deaths of two senior missionaries.
