James Leo Radford, Jr.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of James “Jim” Radford, who peacefully departed this life surrounded by the love of his family. Jim was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, and friend whose kindness, strength, and unwavering love left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

Jim was known for his generous heart, quiet strength, and willingness to help anyone in need, as well as his goofy fun-loving spirit.  He lived a life grounded in integrity, hard work, and dedication to his family and his faith. Whether sharing funny jokes, offering words of wisdom, or simply spending time with those he loved, Jim made every moment meaningful.

Above all else, Jim cherished his family. He found his greatest joy in the time spent with loved ones, creating memories that will be treasured for generations. His legacy of compassion, loyalty, and unconditional love will continue to live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.

Jim is lovingly remembered by his family, friends, and all whose lives were touched by his kindness. Though his physical presence will be deeply missed, his spirit and the values he instilled will remain with us forever.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has offered prayers, love, and support during this difficult time. Your kindness has brought comfort as they honor and celebrate James’s remarkable life.

Survived by loving spouse, Theresa Radford; beloved daughter and son-in-law Jeanette and David Cotter; sisters, LeAnne Hanna and Jeanna Waymire; stepdaughters, Andrea Leopold and Lesley Leopold; grandchildren, Sierra Truly, Chloe Leopold, Katara Marqueses, Bruce Marqueses; great grandchildren, Noah Byrd, Zaedyn Spells, Jaxtyn McPherson; and nieces and nephews.

*“Those we love don’t go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near.”
