Bradford Grant Walden's Obituary
Bradford Grant Walden, age 60, passed away peacefully on February 8, 2026, at his home, surrounded by his loving family.
Brad was born on March 25, 1965, to Carol Walden and Carter Walden. He was preceded in death by his father, Carter Walden; his grandparents, Christine and Dewitt Bradberry; and W.O. Walden and Mertice Walden.
He lived a life rooted in Baptist faith, family, and love, trusting in the promise of eternal life through Christ.
He is survived by those who loved him dearly: his son, Carter Walden; his daughter, Lilly Walden, and her husband, Ethan Guyer; his beloved grandson, Hudson Guyer; his sister, Donna Ray, and her husband, David Ray; and close friend, Belinda Johnson.
Brad was known for his kind heart, sharp mind, and ability to do just about anything — truly a jack of all trades. He had a natural gift for humor and was often the life of the family, bringing laughter, light, and joy wherever he went. He was a huge Auburn football fan, faithfully cheering on the Tigers with a proud “War Eagle!” whenever he could. He also loved baseball and rooted wholeheartedly for the Atlanta Braves, sharing his passion for sports with family and friends throughout his life.
His love for his family was unwavering, and his legacy of kindness, devotion, and spirited fandom will live on in all who knew him. Though our hearts are heavy, we find peace in knowing Brad is now resting in eternal comfort, reunited with loved ones, and held in the arms of his Savior. The family will have a private service.
