Memorial website in the memory of your loved one

This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Brad Runyon who was born in Texas on October 06, 1954 and passed away at home in Kansas City, on October 12, 2005 at the age of 51, after a brave fight with cancer. We will remember him forever. 

We miss his laughter, his sense of humor, and his wit. We miss his wisdom, his honesty, and his opinions. We miss his warm touch, his firm hugs, and his gentle kisses. We miss his singing, his appreciation of our accomplishments, and his willingness to listen. We miss sharing life with him. We miss being loved by him.

Thank you, Jesus, that Brad will always be a part of our lives through our memories of him. Thank you, Jesus, that in all our memories we never have to doubt how much Brad loved us.

The voice you hear is Andy Williams singing "More." This is one of the first songs Brad downloaded to our computer back when he discovered that process and purchased the program that made it legal to do so. He got so much joy out of finding new songs for us. At the end of the work day when I would get home, Brad would have me come sit in the wing-back chair in the computer room to listen to the music he'd found that day. We didn't even get through all of them before he died, and I have been deeply touched by listening to them since. There were many in the list which Brad would play and either tell me he thought of me when he found it or even sing to me in his newer "raspy" voice. Good Memories for me, so please enjoy "our" music while you look over this site.

Please feel free to add your memory of Brad to this website in the Tributes and Condolences Section. It is real comfort to know others are remembering Brad too. You may also light a memorial candle whenever you would like. It is very easy to do. We find great blessings in reading your words. Thank you for remembering with us. 
God Bless you.

A Reflection of Brad's Heart  

 NOW I UNDERSTAND
When I first began to walk on this road You've brought me to, I thought the greatest thing woud be to have you use me to share the wonders of the cross with the sinner that is lost, to heal the sick and set the captive free. But now I understand that when You took me by the hand, Your great desire, Lord, was to make me like Your son, with a heart to worship and to know Your presence, To let Your Spirit form Jesus in me. All those things I tried to do, all the words I tried to say, When all along You just wanted me to love You; to enjoy that special time that would be just Yours and mine--Every day--learning how You love me. And now I understand what delights Your Father's heart. Not all those things I'd do, but to come and be with You. To worship at Your throne, spending time with You alone, To let Your spirit form Jesus in me.

(by Barbara Richmond, 1989)
