Brad Lott
Jerseyville |
Brad Alan Lott, 57, passed away unexpectedly at 12:55 p.m., on Thursday, January 9, 2025.
He was born on August 6, 1967, in Alton, Illinois, to Cleo and Joetta (Eisler) Lott. A 1985 graduate of Jersey Community High School, Brad lived a life filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Brad never knew a stranger, and his smile could light up any room. His kindness was evident to anyone who met him, and his quick wit and sharp sense of humor made him the life of every gathering. Family and friends new they could always count on Brad for a clever comeback or a laugh when they needed it most.
He married Donna Edwards on September 17, 1994, and together they built a life full of love, raising four daughters and creating countless cherished memories. Brad worked for many years as a dedicated laborer in the construction industry.
In his free time, Brad loved playing pool, horseshoes, and bags. He found joy in fishing and took pride in his yard, whether mowing the lawn or hosting backyard barbeques surrounded by loved ones. No matter the occasion, no adventure was complete without an ice-cold Budweiser in hand.
Brad’s love for life and the people in it was unmatched. He adored his family, especially his eight grandchildren, who were his pride and joy.
