Braymer, 63, of Salem, passed away Wednesday, November 4, 2026. Born September 20, 1963 in Cambridge, NY, he was the son of the late Kenneth and Evelyn (Richards) Braymer. Jon graduated from Salem Washington Academy in 1983. He attended Alfred State for two years before earning his bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville where he was a member of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity. Jon began his career working for RK Miles in Manchester, VT, before joining McCauley & Tucker Oil Co. with his father-in-law, Gene Tucker, in Salem. In 2006, he took over the business, and later renamed it to Braymer Fuels. Jon took great pride in owning and operating his business and was known for his strong work ethic and dedication to his customers and the community. He was a hardworking man who never liked to be idle, whether it was tending to his business or working around his property. Jon had a great love for the outdoors and was an avid hiker. He was an Adirondack 46er and was working toward a goal of hiking the highest peak in every state. He had finished 33 of the 50, including Denali. His love of adventure took him everywhere from Everest Base Camp, to Bhutan, to Thailand and Cambodia, to the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in Spain, to Morocco, backpacking Central Europe with his two oldest children, and in every region in the United States. He loved to travel with family and friends, but also loved going on solo adventures. Jon had a keen interest in history, particularly local history. Jon was deeply involved in the Salem community. He was a dedicated supporter of youth sports, coaching numerous teams over the years and serving as president of both the Salem Little League and the Football League. Jon believed in giving back to the community he loved and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Jon loved his friends and was a gregarious presence anywhere he went. Jon was famous for striking up conversations with anyone and anybody and made friends wherever he went. Above all, Jon was devoted to his family and took tremendous pride in his children and their accomplishments. His very favorite place on earth was the farm. Even if he jokingly threatened to retire to Cambodia so nobody would follow him, he loved spending time surrounded by his children and grandchildren. Jon is survived by his wife of 35 years, Mary Tucker Braymer; his children, Katelyn (Matthew) Braymer-Hayes of Cambridge, Daniel (Emilee) Braymer of Salem, Ryan Braymer of Columbia, SC, and Matthew Braymer of Salem; his five grandchildren, Cora, Jonah, Hudson, Theodore and Callahan; his siblings, Kathleen Kuber of Malta, NY, David (Jill) Braymer of Easton, NY, and Tim (Sandi) Braymer of Salem. He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews, as well as many dear friends. In addition to his parents, Jon was predeceased by his sisters, Sue Braymer and Irene Johnston, and his brother, Kenneth Braymer.
