William Lawrence Bradley, Jr went to be with his Lord and Savior Saturday, January 15th, 2022, at the age of 66 at his home.

William became a Christian in February 1993 and throughout the following 28 years he strived to model his life after Jesus.

"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, there shall be no more death, nor sorrow nor crying; and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful." Revelation 21:4-5. "Suffering Absent, Satisfaction Abundant"; words written, highlighted, and underlined in William's bible as he studied these verses written above. We cling to the hope of Jesus during this season of grief. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.ridoutsprattvillechapel.com for the Bradley family.
