After 65 Years Service in Funeral Industry: Brad Kimbrough steps away from his Life’s Work

Brad Kimbrough, of Cisco, is finally hanging up his suit and tie and stepping away from his life’s work at Kimbrough Funeral Home; having retired on Friday, January 6th, 2023. After starting in the funeral industry at age 14 by digging graves in his hometown of Henrietta, TX, Brad worked through the business to learn all the ins and outs. At 17, he and his friend Doyle Davis, (who also grew up to work as a funeral director) drove the local ambulance for Hawkins Funeral Home, and did other jobs around the funeral home. During this time he met and married Sherry Nichols, and together they built their lives in service to others. During the Vietnam War Brad was drafted and stationed at Fort Benning, GA. Because of his many years of working in a funeral home in TX, he was given special permission to work off base for the Striffler- Hamby Funeral Home in Columbus, GA.
