Brad was born March 17, 1964 in Corsicana to James Ray
Barham and Velma Ryno Garrett. He was a plumber by trade. He loved spending time with his son. They spent a lot of time at the creek, collecting
antiques and gardening. Brad would grow
a huge vegetable garden and give the vegetables away. He also inherited a green
thumb from his Nannie Barham. He had his
yard full of flowers and plants that he would collect everywhere he went. He would take driftwood or anything (some
would call it junk) but Brad would take it home and create a masterpiece. Brad was very gifted with that talent.
He was preceded in death by his father; his grandfather, Delmar Ryno; grandmothers, Elizabeth "Nannie" Barham and Ola "Nannie" Ryno; and father-in-law, Adolfo (Tito) Fonseca.
He leaves
behind his companion of 24 years, Pete Fonseca; their son, Jonathon "Johnny
Boy"; his mother, Velma Ryno Garrett; mother-in-law, Juana Fonseca; brother,
Mark Barham and wife Jan; sisters, Karen Smith and husband, Steve, Carolyn
Jordan and husband, Dennis, Janet Haisler, Anita Underwood and husband, Joe,
Rae J. Beckham and Suzanne Joiner; brothers-in-law, Ernie Fonseca and Danny
Fonseca; sisters-in-law, Yolanda Fonseca, Sylvia Fonseca, Maria Pineda and
Rebecca Cogdill; numerous uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces (which he looked at as
if his own) and cousins. He was blessed with an abundance of Loving Friends.
SPECIAL THANKS: To Anita Underwood, Karen
