The son of Edwin Rhianhardt and Virginia (Ward) Eilts, Brad was born in Greentown, Indiana, on September 7, 1952.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brad's journey in life was one of dedication and service. After earning his high school diploma from Eastern High School in 1971, he embarked on a fulfilling career with the Kokomo Parks Department, where he dedicated many years of his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the eyes of God, Brad was united with his longtime partner, Kay Bondarenko, sharing a deep and enduring bond. His spirit of kindness and humor endeared him to all who crossed his path; his infectious laughter and jokes never failed to bring a smile to others\u2019 faces. Living by the belief that every moment was a reason to be grateful, Brad approached life with optimism and a warm heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout his life, Brad\u2019s talents shone brightly. A gifted musician, he showcased his skills on the drums in various bands and at church services. His passion for music extended to his ability to play multiple instruments and even sing with a voice that touched many. Beyond music, Brad found joy in art, demonstrating his creativity through portraits and coloring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The loving memory of Brad Eilts will be forever cherished by his sons, Bradford Ray Eilts Jr. and Benjamin (Andrea) Eilts, both of North Manchester; companion, Kay Bondarenko, Galveston; sisters, Paula Daily, Ethridge, Tennessee and Pam (Jerry) Meiring, Tucson, Arizona; and three grandchildren. Brad was preceded in death by his parents, Edwin and Virginia Eilts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A celebration to honor Brad\u2019s life will be held at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who wish to honor the memory of Brad Eilts, memorial contributions may be made to McKee Mortuary, 1401 State Road 114 West, North Manchester, Indiana 46962, to assist with final expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The family of Brad Eilts has entrusted McKee Mortuary with care and final arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To order&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/manage2.tukioswebsites.com\/o\/v2\/trees\/ed0b9d09-f1d6-4b84-ae58-f8a748e03b28\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">memorial trees<\/a>&nbsp;or send flowers to the family in memory of Bradford Ray Eilts, please visit our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/manage2.tukioswebsites.com\/orders\/v2\/flowers\/ed0b9d09-f1d6-4b84-ae58-f8a748e03b28\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flower store<\/a>.<\/p>\n\r\n<script  src=\"https:\/\/\/pagead\/js\/none.js?client=none\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"none\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"none\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2870348528\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (none = window.none || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n \r\n<script  src=\"https:\/\/\/pagead\/js\/.js?client=0531879237494766\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2870348528\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     ( = window. || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n \r\n<script  src=\"https:\/\/\/pagead\/js\/.js?client=0531879237494766\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2870348528\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     ( = window. || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n \r\n<script  src=\"https:\/\/\/pagead\/js\/?client=0531879237494766\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2870348528\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     ().push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bradford Ray \u201cBrad\u201d Eilts, 71, North Manchester, formerly of Galveston, Indiana, passed away July 23 2024 at Peabody Healthcare Center in North Manchester.
