William “Billy” Roland Bradford ~ 1974 - 2022

It is with deep sadness, that we announce the passing of Badass, William “Billy” Roland Bradford, on April 15, 2022. Billy was born in Huntington Beach, Calif. on September 9, 1974, to Dianne Mills and John Bradford, Jr. Billy graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School, attended Long Beach City College, and moved to South Lake Tahoe in 1999, where he became a general contractor and took pride in the work he created through his craftsmanship around the area, over the years.

Billy was a proud and devoted dad, always saying he lived vicariously through his children, supporting all their activities. He lived his life pushing the limits, was always the first one to get out there and try a new sport or activity, and loved getting his girls involved alongside him. From skateboarding, skiing, surfing, and snowsk8ing, Billy did it all and did it with confidence, passion, and admiration from all those that had the pleasure of joining him.

Billy is survived by his children Ava and Addison, his wife Elizbeth, his mother Dianne, sister Laura, and many more loving relatives and friends. All that knew Billy, loved him. He was empathetic for those needing a hand, mischievous and playful around adults and children, alike. Billy will always be remembered for his unconditional love and willingness to be there for others. We know he is at rest and without pain now.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Billy at Tahoe Paradise Park in Meyers, on May 15 at 1:00 p.m. An account has been set up at US Bank in the names of Elizabeth, Ava and Addison Bradford.
