Brad went to play golf on July 10th. He went to play where there are no sand traps, where you never hit from the rough and where the Bradford pears on No. 7 are a piece of cake. Brad was a gentle man with a giant heart and a swing to match. Brad loved his family and friends and always had a hug for each and every one. Brad was 28 and a graduate of Franklin County High School and Ferrum College.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Earl and Ruth Naff and his paternal grandparents Reggie and Tressie Lynch.
He is survived by his parents, David and Rosemary Lynch; one brother, Scott Lynch; his sister-in-law, Christy; and his new nephew, Boone. Also surviving are Brad’s aunts and uncles: Doris Ellis, Winfred and Carolyn Naff, Velma and Billy Call, Norma Jean and Bobby McGhee, Glenn and Anne Lynch, Sandy and Steve Flora as well as numerous cousins. Also left to cherish his memory are his Papa Jack and Granny Ruth Swicegood; his lifetime friend, Amanda Scott; and special friends, Christy and Brandon.
