Bradford Nugent Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 21, 2023.
Bradford Thomas "Brad" Nugent, a talented tattoo artist known for his artistic creations, passed away on October 7, 2023, in Spring, Texas, at the age of 44. Born on November 17, 1978, in Chicago, Illinois, Brad was the beloved son of Susanne Smith and the late Barrington Nugent.

Bradford, or Brad as he was fondly called, grew up in Glenwood, Illinois, where he attended Brookwood Intermediate
for his primary education. Later, he moved to
The Woodlands, Texas, and completed his
high school education at The Woodlands High
School. Brad also lives in Valley Stream, New York and Ypsilanti, Michigan before relocating to Texas.
After completing his education, Brad pursued his passion for art and discovered his talent for tattooing. He dedicated his career to creating meaningful and intricate tattoos that touched the lives of many. His attention to detail and artistic vision made him a sought-after tattoo artist in the community.

Beyond his professional success, Brad had a deep love for art and creativity. In his free time, he enjoyed creating various forms of art, from paintings to sculptures. He also had a passion for automotive and motorcycle maintenance, spending countless hours tinkering with engines and customizing vehicles.

Brad will be dearly missed by his mother, Susanne Smith, his stepfather, James Smith, his brothers, Benjamin Nugent (Alexandra) and Damian Smith, his sisters, Katherine Nugent and Diana Smith, and his sister Bianca Nugent. He was a loving uncle to his niece, Bella Wade. Brad also leaves behind his grandparents, Wilbert and Alsia Nugent, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

A Celebration of Life service will be held in honor of Brad's memory at the Mariott Hotel Citiplace in Springwoods Village, Spring, TX. The service will be a testament to Brad's vibrant spirit and the impact he had on those around him.

In loving memory of Bradford Thomas "Brad" Nugent, may his creative spirit and passion for art continue to inspire us all.

I´m will always remember how we first met: you coming to see me in LaSalle, Quebec, Canada where I lived with my mom. Despite the circumstances and distance that separated us, I always felt a connection with you. Them, now, and beyond. May your soul rest in peace

Brad gave me my first tattoo half sleeve. Such a fantastic artist and great person. It´s a honor to carry a piece of his art with me for all time and glad that I got to meet him. Thoughts are with his family and friends, rest easy.

The shine in his eyes was so big and bright the day I took this photo. We were celebrating Benjamin and Alex's stunning wedding and I got the opportunity to capture that wonderful smile that only Bradford possessed. He was a brilliant man that opened his heart and home to me many times without judgement." I am an eternal flame that burns in desire's name, sister of night," was one of our many dance songs from the days when Friday was never slept and Saturdays hardly seen. We danced until we dropped and then dropped some more. We painted, laughed, smoked, and then laughed until we cried, some more, But unda the sea and oh mon cerí he was always just Brad to me. He changed, but remained the same. I changed and he always just saw me. Brad you are forever

Every year on his birthday, I reminded him in grueling detail of the twenty-four hours of intense back labor it took to produce him! He was so worth it all.
