Sidney “Sid” Laurie Bradford, 66, passed away Saturday, February 1, 2025. A Celebration of Life will be held from 5pm – 7pm, Thursday, February 13, 2025, at Pecan Grove Funeral Home. 

Sid was born April 16, 1958, to Wilson and Laura (Daugherty) Bradford in Waco, TX. He was raised in Robinson and graduated from Robinson High School. He later moved to Eddy, TX, where he and Kay raised his family. Sid worked as an auto mechanic in Waco. He worked at Midway Automotive for over 17 years and worked at Affordable Transmission. Even when he wasn’t working, he was always building or tinkering on something. Sidney had a need for speed and loved anything that went fast; from jet skis, motorcycles, and working in the pit crew at the racetracks. But more than anything, he loved spending time with his grandchildren.

Sid was preceded in death by his parents, Wilson and Laura Bradford; and sister, Stephanie Johnson.

He is survived by his wife, Belinda Kay (Tunmire) Bradford; daughters, Tanya Brooks and Julie Seiler; his grandchildren, Ronald Brooks, Raylan Brooks, Samantha Seiler, and Lucy Seiler; sister, Karen Rocket; brother, Mac Bradford and wife Sylvia; sister, Missi Bradford and husband Ray Boiser; along with several nieces and nephews.
