Kevin Lewis Bradley

Kevin, I remember the last time I saw you at church....I said "Kevin is really looking good these days!" I couldn't believe it when I heard what happened. One thing I have learned is that you should never take your friends for granted. And as a matter of fact, since your funeral I have been back in touch with a friend who I haven't seen in a while. There are a lot of people who are really going to miss you! My thoughts are with your family. Love, Sarah

I just wanted to say that I am proud of the Bradley family for how they have handeled this situation. This isn't something that anyone wants to go through but they've done a great job dealing with it. There isn't anything anyone can do to bring Kevin back but there are things that can be done to try and prevent people from going through the struggles that Kevin went through. His family took a great first step in that direction at his funeral. Most families want to keep things hush hush but the Bradley family has been open about everything in hope that it will help others with their own struggles. Kevin's death has touched many lives and will continue to do so as long as we keep his story alive in hope that it will benefit others. Kevin made an impact on many peoples lives while he was alive and I truly believe that even more lives can be impacted through his death as long as we keep his story alive. Thank you Bradley family for doing what needed to be done.

To say goodbye to Kevin has been hard. I will miss his smile and hugs. I know that Kevin is now in a Better place and I will see him again one day. I will keep you all in my prayers in the days to come. God bless you!

To Kevin's Family: You do not know me but I know of you. Linda Alphin is my ex mother-in-law. However there really is no "ex" to our relationship. I have no words that can truly comfort you during your time of sorrow. I know that you will only find true solice once you are with your son again. Until then, may your hearts be comforted with the Lord's love and that knowing that your dear son is in a much better place. Kevin is now embraced in the warm love of our father who will comfort him from now on. My thoughts are with you and your family during this very difficult time.

Kevy- This was a message that I hoped I would never have to write. I have done some difficult things in my life, but the hardest thing I have ever had to do was say good-bye to you. Every morning I wake up and hope that this was all a dream, and that I'll have another chance to make things right between us. You have taught me one last important lesson-that I have no right to be so stubborn. I told your mom this morning that one of the best things about you was your ability to forgive. You had a temper, but you never stayed mad for long. I know if I had knocked on your door, I would have got a kevy-hug (and possibly bruised ribs, because if you have been hugged by kevin, you know you have been hugged), and all the forgiveness I could ask for. I believe we all did everything we could do to help you, I couldn't have done anything to keep you here. The one regret I hold in my heart is the time I could have spent with you that I can't get back. It wouldn't have changed this, but I would have had that time with you. I just want you to know that I missed you every day that I let my anger get the best of me and always hoped that you would be all right. I hoped that the old Kev would come back, and then I wouldn't have to miss you anymore. I wish I could have let it go before it was I ran out of time. I will miss you and your hugs every day for the rest of my life. Your friend- Carol

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

A great friend

To My Son, You were my precious child and I love you with all of my heart. My heart is breaking because I will have to wait until the Lord comes back to see your beautiful smile again. Your smile lit up my life. When I saw your smile I knew that everything was going good in your life. I will miss the feel of your arms around me when you would give me a bear hug and your kiss was like know one else's. You would put your hands on each side of my face and squeeze and then you would pucker up and give me a big warm sloppy kiss. I can still hear you saying I love you Momma. I love you with all my heart and I will miss you every day that the Lord leaves me on this earth. I want you to know that you were loved by countless people. They stood for hours to tell us that they loved you and how much that you had touched or changed their lives. I hope that you got to see from heaven your homegoing service. It was beautiful, and everyone that we have talked to has told us that they had never seen a service so awesome. They said they felt good when they left, not sad. They all knew that you were in heaven. Son, the Lord was glorified in your service and there were lives that were saved. Hallalujah!!!! You will see them in heaven one day. Your death was not in vain. I knew that you wanted all of your friends to hear that God loved them and wanted them to accept Jesus as their Saviour, so I asked the Lord to speak through me to them. Your Dad and Brandon spoke and they were awesome. Our Susie did an awesome job with all of your pictures, and she just made everything look perfect at the church. We got your guitar that you loved and had a beautiful arrangement made with it. I know that you are proud of all of us. I love you son and I was proud of you. You were such a special person and you will be sorely missed. Kisses and hugs, I Love You, Momma

I didn't know Kevin, but i do wish to say something to the beloved friends and family...my prayers are with you in this time of need. Chelsea

RIP Kevin.. My prayers go out to the Bradleys and all the rest of family and friends.

Kevin was an amazing guy, always always making people smile. He was a great friend, and I have fond memories of him growing up hangingout with some of the same poeple .. being friends with his best freiends sister and all.. and even more fond memories in high school doing the journalism thing.. God how he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all his friends and family. god bless you all.. with love, Tabatha

To the Bradley family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Kevin's life touched so many people. I had the privilege of working with him on the newspaper back in high school. He always knew how to break the tension! He sure could make me laugh. Even after high school when I would see him out and about, he always spoke to me and his smile was always infectious! I couldn't help but smile back. I pray that God's peace will come for all you in the days and weeks to come.

Kevin, you were truly a one of a kind person that no one on this earth can even come close to comparison. I thank God with all my heart that I had the pleasure of knowing you as a friend. Looking back I can see all of us running around playing outside, going to the pool, and just having the time of our lives. I know that you are with God now watching over us and we will see each other again someday. God bless the entire Bradley family.

Clyde & Kathy, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Just know that God is with you and will remain by your side. His angels will see you through this ordeal. My prayers will be with your today, and in the days to come, and I pray that the loving God will touch your hearts, and heal the bitter hurt that is there. We will never forget Kevin while we are on this earth, and we will see him in Glory. Love and kisses Thelma and Dwight

Today I found out the one true friend I've had since 1996 has passed. He is without a doubt the best and the most truthfull friend a man could ever ask for. He was the one who introduced me to church when I needed it the most. He was definetly one of a kind and will always be one of a kind. He saved my life a long time ago and I wouldnt be here today if it wasnt for him. I'll always love you like a brother kevin and I know you will alway be looking down from Heaven and be keeping your eyes on me.. You have been taken from us way too soon, but I believe thats only because God had a greater purpose for you. Thank you for everything youve done for me and others. Im not going to say I lost a brother today, because Ive gained an Angel......... your brother Andrew Hunter Powell

It seems just like yesterday you were just over at my house with Amanda bring Laura her birthday present. My thoughts and prayers are with your close friends and family. You will be missed dearly.

Dear Clyde Wayne, Kathy & Family, We are so sorry to hear of your tragic loss. Our deepest condolences are with you and the family. Love, Dustin & Courtney

Dear Kathy, Clyde Wayne & Family, Our sincerest condolences are with you at this difficult time. We hope all the happy memories you have will help comfort you. Love, Shelley & Clay

I know no words can ever help the grief you are feeling. Just know the Lord will be with you as you grieve. (Thelma's daughter)

BEAR-KATHY-BRANDON & SUSY, I WILL ALLWAYS REMEMBER THE DAY KEVIN WAS BORN, HIS WONDERFULL SMILE, THAT COULD WARM THE COLDEST HEART,..HIS HAPPY PLAYFULL PERSONALITY....HIS STRUGGLES,.....AND NOW WE RETURN HIM TO THE FATHER.....OUR HEARTS HEAVY, BUT ASSURED WE WILL MEET AGAIN, I'VE LIVED LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW GOD'S PROMISES ARE TRUE, AND HE IS FAITHFULL TO HIS CHILDERN THAT CALL ON HIM.....WITH ALL MY LOVE, AUNT LINDA

To Kevin's Parents...I send you my condolences. I had the chance to know Kevin as a classmate at Lamar and in Houston after he graduated. Kevin was extremely admired amongst our group of friends. I pray that your family is blessed through this tumultuous period.

Clyde and Kathy...my heart is so heavy for you. Jeff, John and I will continue to pray for you and your family. I apologize, but words just cannot express what I am feeling. I believe you both know I love you. Remember, the Lord is Your Shepherd and allow him to come in and comfort and give you strength. I am here if you need me for anything.

I grieve for your loss. My baby brother, Michael Price, has been gone from us one week yesterday. He was 25 and so full of life. To Kevins sister I can say I know how you must feel and it seems that nothing can bring comfort. Im so sorry and dont know why God needed our brothers so early. All I can say is that my prayers are with you and your family and the time we shared with our brothers will always be cherished. My sympathies, Clint R. Price

Clyde, you and yours are in my prayer as you endure this tragic loss. Your friend, Ray

We love you and feel for you. You were wonderful parents and brother and sister to Kevin. My favorite scripture for you: "Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD." Psalms 31:24
