March 9, 1909 – August 24, 2015
Bro. Bradford Evans (fondly known as Bro. Brad) was born March 9, 1909 to Aloysius and Rosie Evans. He had a love for farming and tending the cattle. He sold milk and butter, and if a customer couldn’t pay, he gave it to them.
Bro. Brad lived a good life and always tried to do what was right. One of his great sayings was: “Once a man, twice a child!”
He confessed his faith in Jesus Christ at an early age and was a faithful member of Crossroads Church of God in Farmhaven, Miss.
He was united in holy matrimony to Margie Griffin Evans on December 24, 1936. To this union, two sons were born.
Bro. Brad departed his earthly life on Monday, August 24 at the Golden Living Nursing Home in Carthage, Miss.
He leaves to cherish his memories: two sons – Kassie (Mary) Evans and Robert (Barbara) Evans, all from Chicago, Illinois; five grandchildren – Cynthia McGowan, Clifford Evans, Violet Na Harris, Mia Woods, and Atiesha Robertson; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.
Bro. Brad’s wife, father, mother and seven siblings preceded him in death.
Funeral services were held at the Church of God campground tabernacle in Farmhaven, Miss., Aug. 28.
