Robert Bradley Raynor, age 41, husband of Kayla Bailey Raynor, of Anderson, SC, passed away unexpectedly Wednesday, March 29, 2023.
Born June 18, 1981, in Augusta, GA, he was the son of Robert Hugh Raynor and Gloria Morgan Raynor.
Brad was an assistant store manager for Publix and attended Second Chance Church. He never met a stranger, was very out spoken, loved all people, a defender of the browbeaten, a natural leader, and with his gift of gab, and an "on the side" car salesman.
There is so much we can say about Brad beginning with his loves. They were many and assorted. Of course, hunting, fishing, boating, motorcycles and cars. Loves of all southern boys! An aficionado of grilling and smoking anything edible. Aggravating anyone, even strangers, was a favorite love of his. But, his family and friends received his utmost love. Kayla, his loving, kind, caring wife was his best friend and supporter: a true soulmate. Maddie was his first pride and joy. He picked her to be his own daughter and she gained his kind heart, strong work ethic and quirky "attitude". Brad was so proud of Brady's desire to enlist in the US Army. Kaden, full of mischievous fun was his little man who constantly made Brad laugh. Brad's life will live on through his children and others. He was a great father, husband, son, brother, coworker, boss, mentor and friend.
Left to cherish Brad's love, his wife, Kayla Bailey Raynor, three precious children, Maddie Raynor, Brady Raynor, and Kaden Raynor; parents, Robert and Gloria Raynor; brother, Benjamin Raynor; sister, Katherine Michelle Hamm, her husband Thomas and their son, Miles; grandmothers, Betty Morgan and Mary Helen Raynor (Mama II); fathers-in-laws and mothers-in-law, Tony and Mickey Bailey and Joel and Christy Ellison: sister-in-law, Carissa Thompson, her husband, Jeffrey and their children Madison and Carter.
Brad was predeceased by his grandfathers, Archie Lee Morgan and Willard Raynor.
