I remembered a young man who had dreams of making a better life for himself that it took him to Albuquerque to accomplish those dreams. His dreams became goals and those goals became his life.  What an amazing life he had lived. Bradley Ray Richards has touched a lot of peoples hearts including mine. He was such a wonderful husband to his wife and children. The joy they brought when they visited us. Now it is with great sadness he will be missed. In my heart I will keep his memories alive and remember the happy days. We all love you Bradley Richards.                 The Richards Family

Bradley,  words cannot describe how I feel right now. You have touched so many lives.  I know my husband will miss your calls. You gave him and Travis great advice on the road. You will be missed. We all love you. You will definitely not be forgotten.  Fly high brother.

I’ve always wanted to meet Bradley. He was always caring, understanding and he was always there for my dad and uncles. Bradley was very supportive when I was in judo and he always wanted to see me fight. He would always have the best advice. He was such a great man. He will forever be in my heart as one of the most greatest uncles. He was a great uncle, and a amazing brother. And most importantly he was a awesome dad. ❤️ He will never be forgotten and he will always be in our hearts. Bradley left too soon but heaven has another great angel with them 

I don't know where to start we had so many memories. One memory is when he would call and say "Hey brother, I'm coming into town. Let's have coffee." I always looked forward to seeing him. His calls I will miss the most. He always gave us advice about driving. He showed us where the money was and that I am thankful for. Also, with my daughter Jo-cia he always wanted to see her in her judo competitions. She was set to fight in SLC in March. Bradley you will be missed dearly but forever in my heart and never forgotten.

I'm the baby of the family. I always looked up to Brad. I love it when I spent the night at his house and buying Tops baseball cards and letting me know how they are worth. I will miss him very much he always calls me on my birthday.  
He likes to say What's up. I will miss calling him Boo Boo. I miss you so much right now. Rest In Peace Boo Boo.

You making me cry Elma my friend. I can see him with his big smile on his face. Telling you that he loves you and kissing you. This is one memory that will be with us forever. Always laughing and joke. He loved you so much and you loved him. He will deeply be missed. Prayers for you my good friend Elma and your family. May God bless you all and give you the strength for the days that are ahead. Remember we love you. 

Thank you for being the coolest cousin ever!! I love you and I’ll miss you very much! I’m still in shock but I know you’re in Heaven and I’ll see you again. I’m so thankful I got to see you Christmas Eve. Gone but never forgotten...
🙏🏽💙🕊

To my big brother who will be missed. Thank you for all the love you've given in my life. For always being there when I needed someone to talk to, for all the guidance and love, for being the best brother someone could ever ask for. A day wont go by that I wont think about you. My heart may be in pain, but i know your thier with mom and dad watching over us. Not only were you my brother, you are now my guardian Angel.  Until were all together again know that you are loved and missed deeply. I love you bro and well see each other when the time is right.

Querida Elma:
Le pido a nuestro creador que te dé el consuelo que en este momento necesitas por la pronta partida de tu amado esposo, que conforte y fortalezca tu corazón, a la distancia y abrazandóte con mis oraciones para ti y toda tu familia, descanse en paz.


My name is Randy J Coats. This is a total shock to me as well as Brad's immediate family. I am his step brother from marriage to my Mother Betty J Richards 
I have great respect for, as Brad would tell me when I would answer one of his calls, Hello my brother from another Mother. I will cherish our times together when he would come through Albuquerque during his travels on the road. I sure missed seeing him when he lived here for a short time. I regret not going to McAllen to visit him. I suppose we take life for granted and believe we will be around longer, when the Lord calls us, none of us really know when that time will come. It also makes you want to stay that much closer to your own immediate family members and gives us all a dose of reality. Brad will be in my heart for as long as I continue on this earth and until my time to go into the next life to see my family and Brad, whom I considered a Blood brother. When he entered into a life with Elma and excepted her children and family as his own, you wont come across another person, that would open his heart like that, people like that are rare in this lifetime. Brad Richards,  I will miss you and you will be forever in my heart, your Brother Randy J Coats.
