His family describes him as loyal, funny, thoughtful, and fiercely protective of the people he cared about. He was a son, a brother, a grandson, a nephew, and a friend—and in every role, he gave his whole heart.

Friends recall Stratton’s love for music, the outdoors, and late-night conversations that stretched into the early morning hours. He was known for his sense of humor, his spontaneity, and his tendency to go out of his way to help someone in need. Whether it was offering a ride, staying up to help someone through a rough patch, or simply being a shoulder to lean on, Stratton’s presence was a comfort to many.

In recent years, Stratton had begun forging his own path in life. He had aspirations in both creative and technical fields and was actively exploring career options that would allow him to merge his talents with his desire to make a difference.
