Bradley Dean Pollard

Bradley Dean Pollard, age 55, passed away unexpectedly on December 2nd 2021 and joined his parents in heaven. He was born in Arlington Heights, Illinois on June 1st 1966 to Jerry and Nancy Pollard. He had two sisters, Paula Pollard and Dena Lawton, and a brother-in-law, Andrew Lawton

When Brad was 4 yrs old the family moved to Yuma, Arizona. Instead of sledding (like he enjoyed in Illinois) he tried swimming, baseball, soccer and cub scouts. He was good at woodwork and whittled a car for the pinewood derby. Later he took shop in school and joined his dad working in carpentry, remodeling and construction. He helped build houses and made many crafty items including cedar chests, wooden clocks, decor mirrors, shelves, bread boxes, wine racks and key holders. He always invented clever ways to fix broken parts and make something new. He found what he was good at. He did some traveling for work in Hawaii, Las Vegas and New Mexico to name a few. He also became handy in refrigeration, painting and electrical work. He was talented!

Brad had a sensitive side like his mom. He had a fun sense of humor and liked to joke like his Dad. Those who knew him well have seen and know about his "Wild Willie". He had many lifelong friends who he considered family. He will be missed so much by everyone.
