Gene “Scotty B” Branham, 60, passed away on Tuesday, March 11, 2025 at the Ephraim McDowell Medical Center in Danville, KY. He was born on May 2, 1964 in Louisville, KY, a son of Bobby Gene Branham and Anna Joyce (Hilbert) Branham.
He was a talented and accomplished welder who took great pride in his work. Scotty had a deep love for the Louisville Cardinals and in his younger years, enjoyed hunting. His greatest passion, however, was fishing - a love he inherited from his mother. He was also an excellent cook who found joy in canning during the summer months. Scotty had a big heart, especially when it came to babies, and he embraced life with an adventurous spirit. He loved motorcycles, good food, and making the most of every moment. His favorite saying was, “You only got one go-around this bitch,” and he truly lived by it.
