Brad Provence Obituary
Brad was a lifelong resident of Rufe, Oklahoma. He worked in the logging industry, falling trees, skidding and loading logs. Brad rarely missed the Man of the Woods competition held at the Owa Chita Festival at Broken Bow Lake in his early 20's. He liked hunting for arrowheads and driftwood, fishing, camping, playing pool and going to the yearly Provence family reunions, where he was able to catch up with old friends and loved ones. Brad was a jokester and loved playing pranks on people, but he was also a giving person and would help anyone in need. Being a father was his greatest achievement and the love he had for his children was evident when he looked at them. Brad will truly be missed by those who knew and loved him.
Brad is survived by his children, April Eaves and husband, Matt, Jay Provence, Tristan Provence and Aubree Provence; grandchildren, Nate, Jacey, Jailee, Ashton, Bella, Gunner, Sophie and Eliana; brothers, Matt Provence and Roxanna, Tim Provence and Brenda and Chris Provence and wife, Ambia along with a host of other family, friends and loved ones.

Brad always had a kind word and warm smile for me, and he was a solid friend at a time when i needed a friend most and ill always remember the many evenings we spent walking around talking or laughing. He was hilarious. Ill definitely miss him, he was a good person. To his son Jay and to the rest of his family i offer my prayers and condolences to get you thru your time of mourning. and until we meet again Brad Provence, fly high and sleep with the angels my friend...
