After graduating high school, he attended Sul Ross and ASU. He met and married Karen Sue Moore Rose on July 23, 1965 in Brady, TX. In 1973 their daughter, Tiffany Lane Rose was born. Brad loved taking his daughter to rodeos and watching her participate. One of his proudest moments was when his grandson, Chance Kelly Buckner was born, on October 29, 1994. He would spend many an hour hunting, fishing and attending his sporting events with him. Brad was a man who would help anyone in need and never ask for anything in return. May God give him peace and comfort. We will miss him forever, but will hold his memory close to our hearts. Brad was preceded in his parents and his Mamaw. Brad is survived by his wife, Karen Rose, daughter Tiffany Buckner, grandson Chance Kelly Buckner; brother-in-law Travis Michael Moore all of San Angelo; Uncle James Rose of Mertzon; numerous cousins and special friend and co-worker Keith Taliferro of San Angelo. Honorary pallbearers will be Thomas Rose, Keith Taliferro, Rodney Jackson, Jim Rose and Jerry McBurnett. The Rose family extends their deepest appreciation to all the family and friends for all the love and support given to them through this very difficult time. Also a special thank you to Darlene, Patsy and Bridgette. The family requests in lieu of flowers memorials be made to a trust fund set up for Brad's grandson Chance Buckner at Crockett County National Bank.
