Bradley Alan Moody - Online Memorial Website

WHAT MOVES THROUGH US IS A SILENCE, A QUIET SADNESS, A LONGING FOR ONE MORE DAY, ONE MORE WORD, ONE MORE TOUCH, WE MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHY BRAD LEFT THIS EARTH, OR WHY BRAD LEFT BEFORE WE WERE READY TO SAY GOODBYE, BUT LITTLE BY LITTLE, WE BEGIN TO REMEMBER NOT JUST THAT BRAD DIED, BUT THAT BRAD LIVED. AND THAT HIS LIFE GAVE US MEMORIES TOO BEAUTIFY TO FORGET.

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS KNOW , WHEREVER YOU MAY GO, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, BRAD WILL NEVER BE FAR AWAY.

 

GOD BLESS

I would like to offer my thoughts and prayers to Ofc. Moody's family, friends and the Richmond Police Department. I did not know Brad Moody or his family and friends. I am a police officer on the east coast. Brad would have been an excellent partner to have. I have been browsing this special page today, and my heart hurts. God's speed Ofc. Moody. It is an honor to have read about your incredible life. Heaven has just gained a "Top Cop".

My heart is saddened at the untimely death of yet another fine, young officer.  Susan, hold your babies close and always keep their father's memory alive.  Brad will be by your side..........always. 

 

You're in our thoughts and prayers,

Linda Simcox-Harden and Logan Simcox 

Susan,

 

This song was written by Queen Liliʻuokalani. It was inspired when she witnessed a farewell embrace by two lovers. One day you will embrace Brad again. Until then may you find peace and love in your memories of Brad the special gifts the both of you created, Madison and Emma.  Here is an audio link.

Translation for you

 

Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs..As it glided through the trees..Still folowing ever the bud..The 'ahihi lehua of the vale

 

Farewell to you, farewell to you..The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers..One fond embrace..'Ere I depart, Until we meet again

 

Sweet memories come back to me..Bringing fresh remembrances..Of the past..Dearest one, yes, you are my own..From you, true love shall never depart

 

I have seen and watched your loveliness..The sweet rose of Maunawili..And 'tis there the birds of love dwell..And sip the honey from your lips

Susan.

          To you and your kids, your immediate & extended family, I wish to convey my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. Over the last couple of days I've been reading page after page, and feel I missed an opportunity to get to know a great person. Though Brad and I did talk in passing when the Crisis Negotiations Team & SWAT Teams would train together, he always struck me as someone who loved his job. The expressions on his face were as if to say, " I really get paid for this? " Brad and I worked different shifts, but the times I'd work overtime & anything close to major would go down, K27 was always in the mix. Dr. John C. Maxwell, the foremost expert on leadership in the country, once said; " Winners choose what loosers won't and pay the price that others don't. "    It is clear that Brad was a winner, that paid the ultimate price.  Please be comforted in the fact that even in Brad's passing, he continued to do what he set out to do which was to save lives. I'm very sorry you have to go thru this excruciating pain, but your not alone. You will never be alone.     

To the Moody family...

I can't imagine the pain and the loss you are feeling right now. I didn't know Brad, but reading about him and everything on this memorial page definitely made me cry as if I did. My boyfriend is a Sheriff's deputy in Yolo County, I can't imagine having to go through the heartache that Susan must be feeling. I just wanted to express my condolences and let you all know that you are in my prayers. God bless you during this extremely difficult time.

I don't even know where to begin because I'm still in shock.

 

I still remember when you started with Richmond and I first saw you. You were like a little kid with a big smile on your face. You were just a baby face kid. As the years went by I saw you grow into a great man, husband and father. We all saw a little of us in you and that's why it hurts so much. It hurts to know that a person who touched our hearts so much is no longer with us.

 

I can still see your face on your first SWAT training day and you started to unload your gear a few lockers down from me. I thought you had bought everything at the store. Then seeing you in your gear with your helmet that could just never sit right was funny everytime. I once again saw you grow on the team. I know that every operator on the team wanted you behind them becasue you had our backs. Even when I sometimes wondered if it would be our last entry on the ride to our objective I would see you with that big smile as you looked at me. I knew that you were there for me if I needed it.

 

I enjoyed all the great times we had. Even when I would let the entire team eat at Denny's when I was told not to. I couldn't help it becasue I enjoyed the midnight meal with you and the team that also loved you very much. 

 

I want to thank your family, children and Susan for sharing you with us. Your family and children should know that you were a great COP/K9/SWAT and FRIEND. 

 

Goodbye for now SWAT DOG. God Bless You and your family. I'll see you at the next detail.

To Mrs. Betty Moody, Mr. Jim Moody, Jamie, Jen, and Susan
