Our beloved Brija Mei Keusch, 19, of Big Rapids, Michigan, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, October 25, 2022. 

Brija was a 2021 graduate of Big Rapids High School, where she was a talented drummer in the BRHS Marching Band. She was an avid gamer and also loved animals, who seemed drawn to her soft spoken, gentle way. Brija was also fond of a good game of euchre, a strong cup of coffee, and home-baked cookies.

She is survived by her parents Kris and Andria Keusch; her sister Allison (and Allison's partner Lewis); her grandparents, Ken and Ginny Keusch and Bob and Jane Hendrickson; aunts and uncles, Laura and Carl Brown, Stephen and Sadie Hendrickson, Cary Hendrickson and Patrick Hendrickson; and cousins, Cadence and Adelyn Brown and Hazel, Meta, and Desmond Hendrickson.

The family plans to have a private memorial at a later date. Memorial contributions in Brija’s name may be made to the Trevor Project (http://give.thetrevorproject.org/BrijaMeiKeusch). Care and arrangements are entrusted to the Mohnke Funeral Home in Big Rapids. Share a memory or express condolences at mohnkefuneralhome.com.
