It is with immense sorrow that the family of David Garrison Bradford announce his passing on August 15, 2025, after a sudden and unexpected illness. He was born in Tulsa, OK in December of 1980.

He was an accomplished mechanic whose career began as a graduate of OSU-Okmulgee. Following that he spent years working in the auto industry, beginning at American Airlines for 10 years. His expertise and work ethic were admired by all who worked with him.

David and Kayce got married in October of 2012 after a decade together. He was devoted to his wife Kayce and their daughter Emmaline, as most of his free time was joyfully spent with them. David also enjoyed watching and coaching his daughter in softball; the time spent coaching her was a joy that they both shared. Their trips to State Parks were also always a highlight for them.

He is survived by his wife Kayce Rae Bradford and their young loving daughter Emmaline Paige Bradford, his mother and father David and Dawnice Bradford, his sisters April Benoit and her two daughters Lilia and Abigail, Amanda and Gilbert and their two daughters McKenzie and Sophia, and his brother George Bradford and Ashlynn and their three children Breelyn, Easton and Scout. David is also mourned by his wife's family who considered David as one of their own, nephews Niko, Jayden, and Tyler and nieces Abigail and Madalyn.

David will be celebrated on Saturday, August 23rd at 2pm at Green Hill Funeral Home located at 400 East Teel Rd in Sapulpa, OK.
