John Bradley Payne

We are saddened at the passing of our dear husband, father, brother, and son. John Bradley Payne left his earthly home on August 11, 2014. Brad was born on August 3, 1975 to Albert Lynn Jr. and Vickie Sullivan Payne. Brad frequently said that the best decision he ever made was to marry his sweetheart and eternal companion, Holly Nemec Payne, who is his biggest support and truest friend. They are blessed with four beautiful children; Madison, Ashlyn, Abigail and Dallin. Brad cherished the opportunity to be a father. Brad and his family are longtime residents of Vernal, Utah. He enjoyed his employment with Deseret Power, where he is well loved. Brad developed a special relationship with the teenagers he taught in Sunday school, and left a lasting impression on them. Brad is gifted with an incredible mind, quick wit, and a tender heart. His siblings Lynn (Shari), Stacey Lewis (Evan), McKay Esplin (Tyler) and Tony (Stephanie) will miss his hugs, teasing, and river dancing. Visitation for friends and loved ones will be held at Blackburn Vernal Mortuary on August 14th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. A private family funeral services will be held at a later time. www.blackburnvernalmortuary.com
