It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Don Bratetic, the owner of Ground Zero Hobby. He was more than the heart of this store — he was a friend, a mentor, and a pillar of our community. His passion for comics, games, and bringing people together will always be part of who we are.
The news of Don Bratetic’s passing has left a profound void in Ralston and far beyond. As the beloved owner of Ground Zero Hobby, Don was not merely a businessman; he was the soul of a sanctuary. For countless enthusiasts, his store was a home away from home—a happy place where community thrived among shelves of comics, game boards, and collectibles.
Ground Zero Hobby was more than a business to Don; it was an extension of his family and his greatest passion. His dedication to fostering a welcoming space and his genuine love for the hobbyist community shaped everything the store represents. He was a mentor to new collectors and a steadfast friend to regulars, always ready with a story, advice, or a shared excitement over a rare find.
As we collectively grieve this immense loss, we ask for patience and grace while we navigate the days ahead. The future of Ground Zero Hobby will be determined with the same care and community spirit that Don embodied.
