Sean Bedford Jr.

Sean graduated from Copperas Cove High School with the class of 2016. He was very athletic and enjoyed playing football and running track. In track, Sean participated in multiple events, including the 4x1 relay, 4x4 relay, 100 and 200 meter dashes, long jump, and triple jump. After graduation, Sean attended Wayland Baptist University where he continued playing football and even spent a season playing alongside his brother, Billy.

Sean was very outgoing and never met a stranger. He was his own person and couldn't be placed in a grouping; he was free spirit and always had a witty remark or silly dance moves to make people laugh. Sean also enjoyed traveling. Some of his favorite destinations were California, where he had dreamed of learning to surf and Louisiana. Sean was very big on family. He had very strong relationships with his parents, siblings and even had friends whom he considered his family. He was very caring and would do anything for them.
