David A. Bradt

David A. Bradt, 55, of Yates City, passed away at 6:54 a.m., on Tuesday, November 29, 2022, at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria.

He was born October 3, 1967, in Gloversville, NY, to Marvin and Sadie (Spagnuola) Bradt. He married Rhonda Runyon on August 14, 1999, in Elmwood. She survives.
He is also survived by two children, Hayden and Kynzie; four sisters, JoAnn Fischer, Linda Woodbeck, Anna (Rick) Antonelli, and Theresa Gurnett; two brothers, Wayne (JoMarie) Bradt, and Marvin (Audrey) Bradt; many nieces and nephews; and many great-nieces and great nephews.
He is preceded in death by his parents; and one sister, Denise (Dave) Wadding.
A funeral service will be held at 5:00 p.m., on Saturday, December 3, 2022, at Oaks-Hines Funeral Home in Elmwood. A visitation will be held prior to the service from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., on Saturday, December 3, 2022, at the funeral home.
Even though David wasn't originally from this area, he knew everybody. He had a big, kind heart and would always be there to help out a friend or family member if he could. He loved his wife and kids deeply and unconditionally. He was very proud of all Hayden's and Kynzie's accomplishments. He was stubborn at times but always pushed them to be and do their best with compassion and humility.
He was self-employed for most of his kids' lives which enabled him to be the best work from home dad. He loved his JFL coaching years with Hayden and all the boys. He loved to mentor and teach them. Kynzie had his heart from day one, and they had their special routines, games, and talks every day. He was always there for her, especially while big brother was away at college. #14 was always in his heart and mind. All his nieces, nephews, and their little ones loved their "Dede" deeply. He loved making them laugh and was always there for them.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to an education fund for his children, Hayden and Kynzie.
