French Funerals & Cremations - University & LomasWilliam Bradley Harness, known affectionately as Bradley, was born on January 17, 2003, and passed away tragically on January 8, 2026. He is survived by his devoted mother, Dianna Harness; his father, William Brian Harness; his beloved sister, Kyra Violet Harness; his grandfather, Walter William Harness; and his aunts, Stephanie and Elisa Eger.
Bradley graduated high school with pride and pursued his passion for aviation technology at West-Mec, where he was only a few hours away from testing for his A & P license. However, his adventurous spirit led him to the auto industry, where he worked at Quality Mazda. From the outset, he demonstrated remarkable mechanical abilities that earned him respect from his colleagues, and he was one test away from becoming Mazda Certified.
Beyond his technical skills, Bradley was a self-taught guitarist with an impressive talent for music. He had an uncanny ability to listen to a song and play it on his guitar, often using his gift to create original lyrics. His friends enjoyed collaborating on music videos, capturing moments filled with creativity and joy. An avid skateboarder, Bradley continuously pushed his limits on the board, embracing the thrill of the sport. He also had a passion for motorcycles, which provided him with a sense of freedom and a deep connection to nature. He learned how to fish at a young age, from his father and grandfather. When he had spare time between his other interests, he would go out and try to catch the biggest fish he could.
Bradley's life, though brief, was filled with moments of exploration, creativity, and an unyielding love for those around him. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends, who will cherish the memories of his vibrant spirit. Funeral services will be held to celebrate his life, honoring the profound impact he made in such a short time.
William was preceded in death by: Grandparents; Roni Marie Harness, Victoria Eger, and Richard Eger.
A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, February 27, 2026, 11:00 a.m., at FRENCH - University, with a reception to follow.
