Brad Beals

Bradford “Brad” Ryan Beals, age 59, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at his home in Bryant, AL. Brad was a man of strong faith, deep patriotism, and a joyful spirit that touched everyone who knew him.

Brad lived his life guided by his devotion to God and his belief in the goodness of others. He was proud of his country and grateful for the freedoms and opportunities it offered. His patriotism was steady and sincere, matched only by his faith and his kind, happy nature.

Those who knew Brad will remember his easy smile, his laughter, and the lighthearted way he approached life. He found joy in simple things — music, meaningful conversations, and the quiet strength of his faith.

Though he passed away alone, he was never truly alone, for his heart belonged to God. His family and friends take comfort in knowing he is now at peace and in the loving presence of his Creator.

Brad is preceded in death by his parents, Kenneth Beals and Georgia Crain; sisters, Erica Crain, Kenyan Crain, and Deborah Zeigler; and niece, Megan Stukey.

Left to cherish his memory are his children, Joshua Frost, Krystal Frost, Jessica (Nathaniel) Frady, and Stacy (Cody) Smith; grandchildren, Brayden Payne, Shelbee Payne, Kholby McGill, Isaac Frady, Jace Frady, Cade Smith, Caylee Smith, and Carlee Smith; siblings, Todd (Susan) Beals, Kendall (Gerald) Fowler, Deana (Rick) Elliott, and Brian Beals; as well as several nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends. His memory will live on through the kindness he showed, the faith he shared, and the joy he brought to others throughout his life.
