Brad enjoyed the simple things in life like a morning cup of coffee on the front porch, driving his truck slowly around town with his wife by his side and reading. He was a fan of the Indianapolis Colts and both Dale Earnhardt’s Sr. and Jr. Part of his daily routine was spending time with his friends at the Top Notch while enjoying a cold Old Style.

Surviving with his wife are their children, Kim Young (husband: Brad) of Brookston and Brady Mansfield (wife: Kim) of Niceville, FL; his brothers, Todd Mansfield (wife: Darla) of Brookston, Pete Mansfield (wife: Janell) of Georgia, Claude “Slow” Mansfield (wife: Joyce) of Rensselaer and Joe Richardson (wife: Kathy) of Brookston and a sister, Sue Wells (husband: Noah) of North Carolina. Brad loved spending time with his family especially his grandchildren, Dakota and Cody Duncan, Daisy Riley and Holden Mansfield. Also surviving is a sister-in-law, Mary Mansfield and a brother-in-law, TC Kerr.

Per Brad’s wishes no services are planned.
