Throughout his life, Brad found joy in spending time outdoors with his beloved wife, Sherry. Whether it was fishing by the lake or hiking up picturesque trails, these moments together were cherished deeply.  Brad would take his and Sherry's lawn chairs into their backyard after she got home from work and make her sit with him out in the sun until it set. As well as getting up with Sherry every morning before she left for work, no matter the time and check the car to make sure it was okay and stand outside and watch her down the driveway. Family meant everything to Brad; he adored the company of his sons Shawn Standifer, Anthony King, and John King. His granddaughter Ruby held a special place in his heart and was truly his pride and joy.
