I also knew Brad. He was a very good friend of my dad's. On our way out to a family reunion in the early 90's, my family stayed with Brad at the farm he was living on. It was a beautiful summer, and we enjoyed eating lots of fresh veggies from the garden during our stay. Brad was a gracious host, as he lent my parents and siblings room upstairs to sleep. I was allowed to sleep downstairs in the living room-foyer area on the couch. Sadly, when I was just 10 years old, Mr Williford took his hospitality a little too far and stole my innocence on that visit. I'm now 39 and still live through that terrifying and traumatic experience every single day of my life. I do hope Brad found some sort of peace in the afterlife, though I highly doubt he is where everyone thinks he deserved to be. May you rest easy, Brad. And perhaps I will, too, now that you may be known for what and who you really were.

Ran across this on the web! Bradley is gone? I am heartbroken, I worked with Brad in the 80's at the Co-op in Kansas!! Brad was one of a kind and I always enjoyed being around him! So sad that Bradley has passed.
If someone would be so kind to email me and let me know what Bradley had been up to!

I transported railroaders for nearly 17 years before I retired in August of 2013. Brad Williford was a hard worker and an honest and good person. He will be missed by many people, and I send my prayers to all who loved him to get through this difficult time. Taxi Rose

Been many years since I've seen Brad, but my Step-mother was Dorthy Kay "Williford" Temple. This is how I knew Brad from grade school and Jr. Hi. I was 1 yr. older but lived with Robert and Kaye Kennedy in Sterling at that time.
So sorry for your loss and am lifting you all up in prayer for strength and healing.

I worked with Brad for 16 years via the railroad. Never, ever complained about working, or having to complete a task. Hat's off to his mom and dad for instilling those values into their son. Brad was a valuable asset to the railroad that will be missed. Great friend and co-worker. To the family, so sorry for your loss. He will be missed.
