Bradley Todd McNeill
March 7, 1961 ~ May 6, 2026
Bradley T. McNeill passed away on May 6, 2026. Brad was a proud native of Robbins, NC, veteran, husband, father, grandfather, and friend to many.
Born on March 7, 1961, Brad was the son of the late Jerry McNeill and Carol Hearl. After graduating from North Moore High School he enlisted in the United States Navy and served proudly aboard the U.S.S. Hunley and U.S.S. Frank Cable. Brad traveled the world but ultimately felt the call to return home.
Brad married his wife Donna and began a career as an HVAC Technician, working throughout Moore County for over 30 years. He worked tirelessly, but never missed a ball game, orchestra concert, or important milestone in his family’s life.
Those that knew him will remember him as hard working, quick witted, fiercely loyal, and the proudest of grandpas.
He leaves behind wife Donna, daughter Emily Kafka, son-in-law Tom Kafka, grandchildren Tripp and Evy, sister Valerie Walters, and faithful dog Gus.
Brad loved all animals and in honor of this sentiment the family requests, in lieu of flowers, that donations be made to an animal rescue in his memory.
The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 PM, Friday, May 8, 2026 at Kennedy Funeral Home.

SO SORRY TO HEAR OF BRAD”S PASSING WILL BE REMEMBERING THE FAMILY IN OUR PRAYERS.
I am so sorry to hear about Brad’s death. He, Val and I shared many childhood memories. One memory I have is when he was running from Carol at church one Sunday night and jumped into the baptistery full of water to escape her. I still smile at that memory. Rest in peace, Brad.
Donna we are so sorry to hear of Brad’s passing. He was so passionate about anything he believed in. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Sherry and Danny Brewer
It is with deep sadness that we extend our condolences to Brad’s family. I met Brad through local politics, and he became an unwavering supporter of my campaign for school board. More importantly, Brad became a true friend.
During my hospitalization and rehabilitation following my amputation, Brad showed extraordinary kindness and compassion to both me and my wife, Patti. In some of our most difficult moments, he was there with encouragement, support, and genuine care. When Brad stood by you, he never wavered.
I will forever be grateful for the friendship, loyalty, and generosity he showed our family. The world has lost a bright light, but Heaven has gained one.
David & Patti Norris
Oh my dearest Lord. Bless this wonderful man. Brad was a very dear friend to me. He supported me in my run for School Board, gave me wise advice, and was always there when I callled him.
He loved his “girls” – as he always referred to his wife and daughter. His beloved dog was always included in his stories.
Brad will be missed. He was one heck of a guy!
To his beautiful family, my sincerest condolences.
