I am in Rockford this weekend to visit with some of our West High Warriors. I am remembering you, today! RIP
Linda A White Jarrells

I didn't know of his passing-I lived in Texas at the time of his death. I am part of the class "65"-may he be celebrating his birthday-

Happy birthday in Heaven, Roc. You will be sorely missed if we have another class reunion this year. One is planned but with this novel virus still swirling and rearing its ugly head, it will probably be cancelled or postponed until things are in control. You would be amazed at all the sharing and caring going on again in our world. Strife is out weighed by good even when it is most difficult. We had a great class filled with wonderful friends and acquaintances. Rest well, Roc Bradford, knowing you did your best and were loved and appreciated by many. You will never be forgotten.

I am Linda A White Jarrells. Roc was in my West High School graduating class. I am especially sorry to hear that he died during our 50th class reunion weekend. I remember Roc as being a very warm, intelligent and fun-loving young man. My prayers for peace and comfort are with family and friends. May you feel God's loving arms around you.

Roc described himself as "somewhat of a nerd" in high school! I knew Roc at ROCKFORD West '65, as "one if the nice boys", always courteous, polite and kind to all. Lost touch... Fast forward 50 yrs and with our 50th high school reunion coming up, we met up once again on Facebook. All I can say is wow, guess while walking the path of life, we all change and are molded, and the posts we exchanged showed such a different, humorous and inspiring side of Roc, I never had the pleasure to enjoy. I believe both of us were looking forward to reconnecting ar the reunion, something that never was meant to be, as God had bigger and better plans for Roc on that Sat. Night, Sept. 18. Till we meet again Warrior, in a better place and a better time. God saw fit to bring one of his angels home the eve of our reunion!
