William Bradford “Brad” Brown, 52, passed away on Monday, November 9, 2026, leaving behind a family who loved him dearly and memories that will forever be cherished.

Brad was a beloved son, brother, and brother-in-law whose presence will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved him.

Brad was a dedicated employee of Prime Source Building Products for over 20 years. His years of service reflected his strong work ethic, loyalty, and commitment to his job and colleagues.

An avid sports fan, Brad had a special love for his favorite teams. He was a devoted fan of the South Carolina Gamecocks football team, UNC Tar Heels basketball, Atlanta Braves baseball, and Dallas Cowboys football. Whether cheering on his teams through victories or standing by them through defeats, his loyalty and enthusiasm never wavered.

Brad is survived by his loving parents, Brenda and Walter F. Brown, Sr. “Pete”; his brother, Walter F. Brown, Jr. “Wally”; his sister-in-law, Shelley Brown; and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins who will forever cherish his memory.

He was preceded in death by William Francis and Ruth Dennis Brown, and Bradford and Gretcheon Boykin Byrd.

Although his time here was far too short, Brad's memory will live on in the hearts of his family and all those whose lives he touched. He will be remembered with love, missed beyond words, and forever hold a special place in the hearts of those who knew him.

Rest peacefully, Brad. You will always be loved, never forgotten, and forever part of our family.
