Brad Martin Gruver

It is with deepest sorrow we announce, Brad Martin Gruver's beautiful life was taken from his family far too soon, on July 16, 2023, twelve days before his 18th birthday, which he shared with his twin brother, Brandon Martin Gruver. He was candidly known as, "Bradley Boo, Juicy Jr., Mini Me, Mickey Monkey and wounded soldier." Brad was born July 28, 2005, in Arlington, with his fraternal twin brother, Brandon Martin Gruver. Arlington was his home all his life, attending Key Elementary, Young Junior High and received his high school diploma from St. Augustine Old Roman Catholic Church in Fort Worth. He shared his Arlington home with parents, Bruce Martin Gruver and Tammy Mae Gruver; twin brother Brandon Martin Gruver; brother Zachary Thomas Pacos; and uncle, Robert Gunter. Brad had a love for macaroni and cheese, pan-fried potatoes, ravioli, working out with this dad, cars, fishing, rap, R&B music, and a new-found love for country music his parents inspired in him. He played the trumpet and was committed to his fianceé, Kinsley and her daughter, Clementine. Brad loved to spend days with his friends, Eli, Montana, Isaac, Micah, L.J., Charles, Michael, Eldon, Jayce, McCayla, Cierra, Matthew, Luke, Trey and Harley McNairn. Brad was extremely proud and devoted to his accounting position at United Refrigeration in Fort Worth. His beautiful life was taken violently from his family and friends, and he is now in heaven with his grandfather, Arthur Bernard Swanner, and his aunt, Michelle Blakely. Brad will be sadly missed and will always hold a special place in his cousins' hearts, Kelly, Lily, Aubrey, Stephanie, Melissa, Devon, Dusty, Crystal, Cierra, Jayce and McCayla. Survivors: Parents, Bruce and Tammy Gruver; brothers, Brandon Martin Gruver, Zachary Thomas Pacos and Bruce Martin Gruver III; uncle, Robert Gunter Jr.; grandmother, Carmelita Hernandez; aunt, Vanessa Miller; cousins, Tammy Baker, Kelly Owen and Stephanie Staton; and fianceé, Kinsleigh Rogers and her daughter, Clementine.

Main Street, Grand Prairie, Texas 75050, where a service will begin at 1 p.m. Interment will follow at Emerald Hills Memorial Park, 500 Kennedale Sublett Road, Kennedale, TX 76060.
