Brandon Tyler Bradford, 23, of Bryant, Arkansas went to be with his Lord Monday, March 7, 2011 at his home. He was born June 9, 1987 at Lakewood, California to Bobby and Kathy (Williams) Bradford. Brandon's heart was for people. He loved his family and friends with a great passion. His love was something each person close to him always felt. He loved to go hunting and fishing. Especially enjoying hunts with his grandpa Williams. Brandon started his own computer business at the age of 13. He did free lance work with many local business as well as the New York Stock Exchange. By the age of 17 he had transitioned into the music industry. He became A1 Certified on various Yamaha sound boards. He went on to become a sound engineer and lighting and rigging specialist. There wasn't a sound or lighting board he couldn't master. One of the first bands he worked with was Riverbilly. He continued from there to work with many artists all over the country. Always making sure that they sounded the best possible. One of his dreams was to go out on tour. He accomplished this dream in 2010 by touring with country artist Justin Moore. Brandon was our heart, our joy, our love. Our hearts will be forever broken. We will carry our wonderful memories of 23 precious years with our son, in our hearts forever and ever.
