Brady enjoyed spending time with his friends in the Enon area. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved him. He was always a lover, not a fighter.

Ratliff, of Alderson, WV; grandparents, Bill and Edna Johnson Ratliff, of Hopewell, VA, Charles and Kathleen Fisher, of Boyton, VA; aunt and uncle, Sherry and Butch Blick, cousin Deanna Martin, all of Enon, VA; and uncle, Chris Ratliff, of Hopewell, VA.

Morriss & Son Funeral Home on Thursday, August 21, from 5 to 8 p.m. Funeral services will follow there on Friday, August 22, at 1 p.m., interment will take place in Bermuda Memorial Park, Enon.

brady was always so sweet to my son, who was only 6 at the time they met 3 years ago. there were no boys for him to play with in the area his age, and brady always stopped to talk to him. we were so sad to hear of his loss.

Jim and Charla,
It broke our hearts to learn of this loss. The funeral was very touching. We have a large family, too, as you know and every child is so very dear to the heart. I pray that God will comfort you in a special way and heal the pain that is so very heavy on your heart right now. You have three gorgeous girls [like their mom] and Colby looks like Jim's twin [in a much younger form].
love, Dick and Susie Moore

Dear Jim, Charla & Family,
We were so sorry to hear about Brady. It seems like only yesterday that the kids were running around playing...whether it was at softabll & baseball games or just in the yard having fun. Our hearts go out to you and we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers!

For Brady: An image unfinished started washing away. What might have been had it not rained that day. Often rains in life call and torentially pour. But never wash a memory-to live ever more.

To the Fishers: Brady always recognized when my lawn needed mown. I saw him tinkering constantly with anything mechanical. He was always quick with a smile. And Daniel treasures the comraderie he shared with him. I'll sorely miss him.

Jim & family,
Know that despite the anguish of broken hearts, there is an almighty and loving God that is watching over each of you. Listen closely and you will hear the whisper of a friend, the only One who can bring healing, and His name is Jesus. I pray The Lord's bless, favor and healing for everyone.

Fish & Charla:
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I believe there is a special place in heaven for children who pass way before their time. Brady's love for life and the outdoors will be missed. I remember him a a small child coming to my house running in the yard and around the house. It was truly a special moment for me. I will keep your family in my prayers and may God be with you.
