He cherished every moment spent with his loved ones and always put his family first.

Robert is survived by his loving wife of 23 years, Linda Deatherage, his daughter Angela Wickes and her husband James, his son, Dan Deatherage, his stepson Stacey Allen, his stepdaughter Jennifer Dodd and her husband Jeremiah, his brother Keith Hawks, and his sisters Cecilia Rosenthal and Gina Basile.

Floyd Eugene Bradbury, 95, founder of the Bradbury Company of Moundridge, Kansas, passed away on December 26, 2025, at his home in Orange Park, Florida, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on February 8, 1930, Floyd was raised in southeast Kansas as the oldest of nine children, learning early the values of hard work and humility. He graduated from Labette County High School in 1948 and went on to serve his country in the U.S. Army Air Corps, where he was a crew chief on the B-29 bomber “Lil’ Chichaco.” It was during these formative years that Floyd developed a lifelong love for aviation.

In 1952, Floyd married Dorotha Seward and adopted her sons, David and Steven, embracing them fully as his own. Together, they welcomed three more children—Phil, Kevin, and Susan.

In 1959, Floyd and Dorotha moved their family to Moundridge, Kansas, where Floyd founded the Bradbury Company. With a deep commitment to people and his philosophy of “Do it from the heart,” the company grew from humble beginnings into what is now the Bradbury Group—a world leader in roll forming with more than 800 employees worldwide.

In 1983, Floyd moved to Puerto Rico, a place he held close to his heart after earlier time spent there during his Air Force service in the 1950s. His home by the beach became a gathering place for friends and family—always welcoming, always filled with laughter and stories.

In 1992, Floyd married Valerie Lestrade. Together, they shared 33 beautiful years of marriage, traveling the world, cherishing time with family, and creating countless memories filled with love and joy.

Floyd was a Mason and served on numerous community and professional boards. A licensed pilot, he maintained a lifelong passion for flying, often piloting his private aircraft for both business and pleasure. Known for his infectious smile and quick wit, Floyd embraced everyone he met, and his warmth, humor, and genuine kindness left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

Floyd was the heart of a large blended family, and he loved without distinction—embracing each person as his own. He is survived by his devoted wife, Valerie; sons David (Diana) Bradbury of Hutchinson, Kansas; Phil (Marilyn) Bradbury and Kevin Bradbury of St. George, Utah; daughter Susan Bradbury of Cheney, Kansas; stepdaughter Latoya (Edgardo) Santiago of Orange Park, Florida; stepdaughter Sandra (Dwight) Caines of St. Kitts; stepsons Anthony Lestrade of Barbados and Wayne (Beulah) Campbell of Tortola, BVI; brothers Robert (Alice) Bradbury of Neosho, Missouri; Doug (Marge) Bradbury of Shreveport, Louisiana, and sister Judy McGuiness of Topeka, Kansas; along with 23 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by five siblings, his son Steven, and his grandson Dustin Bradbury.

Floyd Eugene Bradbury was a remarkable man whose life was defined by love, service, generosity, and joy. His legacy lives on through the countless lives he touched—and through the smiles, stories, and hearts that will forever remember him.

A Celebration of Life will follow on Sunday, January 18, 2026, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the Bradbury Company in Moundridge, Kansas. Friends and loved ones are warmly invited to gather and share their memories of the “larger than life” Floyd Bradbury with his family.

A bright light has dimmed with the passing of the generous and witty Lori McCoach-Garton. Born on October 9, 1967, in Coffeyville, Kansas, Lori's contagious laughter and reliable nature made her a joy to be around, touching many lives throughout her 58 years.

Lori was a woman of many endearing qualities, but her generosity stood out the most. She gave not only in material ways, but also in kindness, understanding, and love. As a dedicated Front-End Manager in a retail grocery store for 35 years, her remarkable wit and reliability made her a favorite among customers and coworkers alike. She was always ready with a smile, a helpful hand, and a clever quip to lighten the day. However, it was at home where Lori's heart truly shone. Married since March 9, 1998, to her beloved husband, Scott Garton, Lori was a loving mother and an adoring grandmother. Her kids were her world, and she cherished every moment with her grandbabies. As the poet Maya Angelou once said, "I sustain myself with the love of family."

Lori is survived by her husband, Scott, her children, Kenzie (Trey), Zane, Tyler and Jordan, her sisters, Kimberly (Brad) Volmer, Cindy (Bill) Shearhart, Teresa (Doug) Stanley, Bobbie Stroud, her brothers, Michael (Bev) McCoach, Dennis McCoach, and numerous other family members. She was preceded in death by her parents, Richard and JoAnn McCoach, son, Tim Garton and her daughter, Courtney Garton.

Family and friends are invited to a visitation on Thursday, January 8, 2026, from 6:00pm until 8:00 p.m. at David W. Barnes Funeral Home in Coffeyville.

Funeral service will be held on Friday, January 9, 2026, at 10:00am at Grace Fellowship, 2455 Woodland Avenue, Coffeyville, Kansas, 67337. Pastor Doug Mund will officiate. Following Lori’s wishes, cremation will take place following services.

The family suggests memorial contributions can be made to an educational fund set up for Lori’s son, Zane Garton. These may be left with the funeral home or mailed in care of David W. Barnes Funeral Home 306 N. Cline Rd. Coffeyville, KS 67337.

As we remember Lori, let's celebrate her life and the joy she brought into ours. We invite you to share your memories, stories, and photos on Lori's memorial page at www.dwbfh.com to help us keep her spirit alive. As Lori's story continues to unfold through our shared memories, let us remember another quote by Maya Angelou, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Lori made us all feel loved, and that love will continue to live on in our hearts.
