Bradley Jack Lawson, known affectionately as Brad to his friends and family, passed away peacefully on April 23, 2024, in Hohenwald, TN, at the age of 44. Born on February 18, 1980, in Dickson, TN, to parents Steven and Jackie Sealey Lawson, Brad grew up with a zest for life and a contagious smile that would light up any room.

Continuing to serve his community, he also served with the Hohenwald Fire Department for 12 years alongside his father.

Brad's interests were as varied as they were passionate. An avid outdoorsman, he found peace and joy in hunting and fishing and took pride in adding to his impressive gun collection. But above all, his love for family stood paramount. Brad's presence at family gatherings was a source of laughter and warmth, his great sense of humor a hallmark of every encounter.

His ability to connect with people, to share a joke, and to spread kindness was truly remarkable. These traits not only made him an excellent investigator but also a beloved figure in the community.
