Obituary of Bradley Xavier Crawford

Bradley X. Crawford, 25 years-old, was born and raised in Albion, N.J., 12/21/88- 4/11/14. Brad passed away at home with his parents and beloved Aunt Bevy by his side, from a complication of his Muscular Dystrophy. He survived by his loving twin brothers and beautiful new sisters (in-law) Kyle and Samantha, and Keith and Jaclyn. Brad had so much pride and love for his brothers. He loved with every inch of his being and his love knew no boundaries. Growing up, the three of them were unstoppable. As his disease started slowing him down, he would never be discouraged. He would say "Mom, its okay, don't be sad for me. I will love and rejoice through them and watch in awe as my two little brothers grow and succeed." Boy, was he proud and so happy for them. When they married, Brad said "What awesome girls they found, Mom. I know I dont have to worry anymore about them." They are and will always be the two most outstanding men in his life. Brad was also blessed to have such wonderful friends, old and new. His love of people was never ending. Just by saying hello to Brad, you knew you had a friend in him. He was always planning another adventure; always planning for the next thing to do. His years on earth were short, but we tried our hardest to fill them with joy and smiles. The last year was very monumental for Brad, being able to watch the ones he loved succeed. He was able to attend his brothers and cousin Ashley's wedding, and both of his brothers graduated from college. In August, Brad's best friend and brother by choice was blessed with the birth of a gorgeous baby boy. J.D Donadio honored Brad by naming his little boy Jase Bradley. Though, everyone who knew would swear brad was the dad. That little guy gave Brad so much joy, and that's what kept him going for these last few months. Bradley Crawford was a friend to all and loved by many. We celebrate his life and the impact he has made on everyone. We know he his home with the Lord now and praise Jesus for the blessing of knowing him. We love you Brad. Vieweing for Brad will be held at Leroy P.
