The sun rose and the world welcomed Bradford Collier on September 28, 1959, to the late Alfred Collier and Eva Mae Collier.

Brad accepted Christ at an early age and was a member of the Dixie Missionary Baptist Church.

He attended Jasper High School and Job Corps. He was employed by Louisiana Pacific, Wal-Mart, and later retired from Pilgrim Pride in 2020. Brad was a loving son, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle.

He had unconditional love for his family. Brad never met a stranger, and always, always was the life of the party. He will be fondly remembered and sorely missed by his FAMILY and all who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his father, Alfred Collier, and his loving wife, Pearl Bronson.

Brad took his last breath on May 26, 2022, at Christus Jasper Memorial Hospital.

Brad is survived by his loving mother, Eva Mae Collier; one son, Bradford; one granddaughter, Keara; three brothers, Anthony (Helen) and Byron, both of Jasper, Texas, and Dexter of Los Angeles, California; two sisters, Carol Grisby and Camellia Spikes, both of Jasper, Texas; one uncle, James Ashworth; and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
