It is with utmost sadness that we announce the passing of Bradley William Hopcraft, on Sunday, November 23, 2025, in Red Deer, Alberta.

Brad will be dearly missed by his wife, Laveryne, his son, Jason (Vata), daughter, Christine (Bruce) Watt, stepchildren Dallas (Kory) Reimer, Lesley (Tim) Unruh, and Jodi (Jeff) Snyder, and his brother, John (Lois), as well as his fifteen grandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents, Reg and Ann Hopcraft, and sister, Eleanor.

Brad has left us a profound legacy rooted in his love for Jesus Christ, and we know he is entertaining his Creator now with his unmatched musical gifts! We will miss his smile, his jokes, and most of all, his willingness to help others in every situation. Brad loved playing and listening to music and has given us all fond memories of performances that will be cherished. Brad was humble and never looked for credit, with a storied professional career spanning many different occupations which shaped him into a wise and talented man.

Join us in celebrating Brad on Friday, December 5th @ 10:30 am, Redemption Church, 37370 RR 274a (Seventh Day Adventist church building).

Psalm 81:2 reads, “Begin the music, strike the timbrel, play the melodious harp and lyre”. Begin the music Brad! We will miss you.
