Joe Earl Bradford lll

To know Joe Bradford was to love him. With his larger-than-life personality, his infectious smile, his knack for storytelling, and his made-for-radio voice--not to mention that hair--Joe was a man who spent his life bringing laughter and joy to all who had the privilege of knowing him. Joe loved Alabama football, fishing, karaoke, and all things 80s: music, movies, cars. Most of all, he loved his friends and family. Never one to back down from a challenge, Joe believed in a hard day’s work. He also believed in playing hard and making memories. A man of faith, passion, adventure, and mischief, Joe leaves behind a legacy of friendships that will last far beyond his 35 years.

Joe is preceded in death by his beloved father, Joe Bradford, Jr. and his grandfather, Mr. Perry Griggers. He is survived by his devoted wife, Hannah and their unborn child; his mother, Dusty Hartley and Keith; his sister, Sommer Brown, Doug, Dustin Bradford, Caleb, Sydnie, and Lucy; his grandmother, Margaret Griggers; his grandparents Joe and Pat Bradford, Sr. and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. Joe also leaves many friends who feel like family.
