Brad F. Woodard

On Tuesday, April 21, 2020, Brad Fay Woodard’s battle with ALS came to an end. He went home to be with his Lord and Savior, father Brent, and beloved sister Keri Ann. Brad was born on February 8, 1963 in Grant, MI the middle son of Brent and Virginia (Jones) Woodard of Sand Lake. He was a loving brother to Harvey Sr. (Robin), Bruce (Tammy), Jeri Graham (Dennis Sr.), Keri, and George (Hydie). He married his childhood sweetheart Terry (Powell) in 1982 and they celebrated their 38th wedding anniversary in February. He was the proud father of Nicole, Brent (Heidi), Ashley Decker (Cameron), Jason, and James. He was the proud uncle of many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews whom he loved like his own children. His greatest joy came from his three beautiful granddaughters Natalie Grace (Brent), Emma Elizabeth (Brent), and Reagan Marie (Ashley). Brad was a hardworking businessman and entrepreneur. He and his wife owned small businesses in their local community of Ensley Center. He was an avid sportsman and spent as much time as he could in the woods. His true passion in life was hunting. He shared this passion with his entire family, especially his wife and kids. He took advantage of every opportunity to take others hunting and introduce them to the sport. He was known most for his strong work ethic, love of his family, playful wit, and generosity. In lieu of flowers the family asks that you consider a donation to the ALS Association or the ALS Foundation. A memorial service will be scheduled for later this summer.
