William Bradley “Brad” Pence

W. Brad Pence 40, passed away peacefully at home on October 11, 2019 surrounded by loved ones. Born January 18, 1979 in Kansas City and raised in Raytown, Mo. Brad was known by many. A celebration of life will be held Sunday, October 20, 2019 at Heartland, 6113 Blue Ridge Blvd., Raytown, Mo 64133. Visitation 10-12, services at 12. Burial to follow at Brooking Cemetery.

Brad’s love for family was always a priority. His passion for motorcycles cannot be explained.

His memory will be carried on by those who loved him through daily activities. “Don’t cry for me this is not the end, I’ll be waiting right here when we meet again”. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to WWW.canceractionkc.org (envelopes are available) or to Michelle Stewart cousin of Brad’s fighting Stage 4 Breast Cancer of which it has spread to her bones (pink envelopes are available).
