Bradley Jason Pender was born in Springfield, Missouri to Lonnie R. Pender and Connie McBride Pender on April 5, 1973. He is survived by his mother; two sisters: Lori Burgard and Tanna Emmons; two brothers: Tim Pender and John Pender; an uncle, numerous aunts and cousins, as well as friends which include the members of Solomon Lodge 271, where Brad was a past Worshipful Master.

Brad had many talents, one of which was his ability to deal with almost any computer “glitch”. As a very young man, he built and installed a computer network system for use in his parent’s real estate businesses. He wrote marvelous short stories, and also enjoyed working on his vintage Mercedes.

Brad’s life seemed often to be fraught with adversity. In the past few years he was frequently in excruciating physical pain. Our prayer is that he is now at peace. He was loved and he will be missed.

Disposition of his ashes and a private remembrance of his life will be held at a later date.
