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 music you hear is a from a Vineyard Church recording Brad had on file. The title is "God will Make a Way" and the recording simply said "Vineyard--Acapella."

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.

Wisdom- From God, to me, to you.   / Amanda Carrin (youngest daughter )
Isn't it interesting how the Bible talks so deeply and repeatedly about wisdom? It tells us that it is worth more than money or priceless jewels. I would say beyond a shadow of a doubt that my dad was wise. He often reminded us of his intelligen...  Continue >>

His legacy
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)
