Brad Roper

The Bradley Y. Roper was born December 27, 1979, in Brigham City, Utah to Dennis and Debbie Roper. He chose to return to his Heavenly Father on March 12, 2026. While we are heartbroken, we find comfort in knowing he is at peace.

Brad was a lover of the outdoors. He was an avid hunter, thrill seeker and was extremely charitable with the softest heart. He could fix literally anything! Bob said he had “tinker-itis” because he could never just sit and do nothing. He was happiest when he was going “full-throttle” and his family takes comfort in the fact that he managed to stay upright…most of the time.

He married Beth Coleman on October 6, 2001, they later divorced. He found and married the love of his life Celina Daniel on June 15, 2018, they also divorced.

Though not always active, he was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held a steadfast testimony of the gospel.

He has been a machinist at Parker-Hannifin for 26 years and was grateful for the many lifelong friendships he made.

He is survived by his parents, Dennis and Debbie, siblings Brittni (Craig) Nelson, Brion (Piper) Roper. Also by his nephews Trevor, Colton, Cody (Mailee), Tyson, Cache, and Jed. And his great nephew Grady, and great niece Wesley. Also by his second parents, Stan and Lil Graves and his best friend/brother Robert “Bob” (Marcia) Graves and their two children, Emma and Wyatt. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins.

He was preceded in death by a nephew, Joshua Dennis Nelson. His grandparents, Willis and Donna Roper and Bevan and Rolaine Nazer.

Though Brad’s wish was to have no service, we have chosen to ignore him and honor his memory with a celebration of life on April 11, 2026, at Palmer Barn, 683 N Main, Willard, Utah from 4:00 to 6:00 PM, with a special time for sharing favorite stories and memories of Brad beginning at 6:00 PM.
