Larry Bradford

Larry E. Bradford, 60, passed away in his home on Sept. 12, 2026, in Calico Rock, AR. He was born Sept. 19, 1965 in Artesia, NM to J.W. Bradford and Barbara Bradford. He leaves behind many who will carry his memory with them.

He is preceded in death by his parents J.W. and Barbara Bradford of Lovington, NM, and brother Jay Bradford of Laffayette, LA.

Larry is survived by his brothers Tommy Bradford and wife Pam, Robert Bradford and wife Angie, and sister-in-law Kim Bradford; his nephews and nieces Amaris Bradford Steele and husband Kris Steele, Alex Bradford, Corey Bradford, Brittney Bradford, Kalli Bradford Chinin and husband Josh Chinin, Matthew Bradford, Kristin Bradford; and his great nephew and nieces Trey Bradford, Hailyn Tallant, and Noah Chinin.

He grew up in Lovington, NM graduating from Lovington High School. He then joined the Air Force Reserves and later attended Texas Tech University receiving a PhD in Pharmacy in 2000. He worked as a successful and caring Pharmacist for 21 years with Walgreens in Odessa and Hobbs, and Michaels Pharmacy in Hobbs.

Larry was known for his intelligence, sense of humor, and support he showed to his family and friends. He cherished his nieces and nephews as if they were his own. He was a true adventurer and loved to travel the world. His love for experiencing the world led him to sail the Atlantic on a sailboat and work as a parasailer in Saint Maarten. He also loved hunting, riding motorcycles, and immersing himself in different worlds through reading.

Larry’s passing leaves an absence that will be deeply felt by those who knew and loved him. Taken from this world too soon, but knowing he is now reunited with his loving parents and brother, is a comfort his family can hold on to. And through faith in Christ, he has been made new.

"I long to see you again, for I remember your tears as we parted. And I will be filled with joy when we are together again." 2 Timothy 1:4
