Bradley Ross Nyman June 5 1956-February 11,2024 Bradley Ross Nyman, born in Los Angeles, California on June 5, 1956 to Ross O and Sherrill Nyman passed away on February 11, 2024 of heart failure. Brad had a charm without trying and had many friends. Helping others was second nature to him even those who he did not know and were stranded at the side of the road. As a kid Brad with his white blond hair, bright blue eyes and engaging smile was full of energy and sometimes mischievous. He liked to take things apart from a very young age. His natural talent of figuring out how things worked led him to his successful ca-reer as an auto mechanic and owning Brad's Auto Repair. He had a wonderful childhood growing up in Gardena, California and then later the family moved to Tustin. Brad pitched for little league baseball and excelled at it. He rode mini bikes up and down the street for hours. He learned to swim well at the local pool with his family. Brad broke his right arm just before kindergarten and was in a cast to start school. That whole experience turned him into a lefty, which was difficult for him for a few years. Living a fearless life, Brad was always full of energy and motivation. He had a love of things that went fast: cars, boats and motorcy-cles. He loved fishing, boating, riding motorcycles and most recently taking his dune buggy out for a ride every morning near his home in Yucca Valley. Being an auto mechanic and also selling Matco tools for a time, Brad owned tools and enjoyed them. One of his all time favorite cars was his red 1969 El Camino. His kids grew up with a one of a kind dad. Brad loved spending time with his family at the Colorado River where they boated, camped, fished and would cook steaks. He enjoyed extended family as well and would but on his gruff Uncle Brad voice for the nieces and nephews trying make them laugh or scare them. He checked on his dad frequently by phone and made trips up to see him whenever he could. Brad had a talent for fixing up old things. He could make them work and look like brand new. He was very creative with welding art pieces and making yard art out of cast off items like nuts, bolts scrap metal and used auto parts. He was also very creative at arranging his tool room and outfitting a shed. Brad really loved his family. He is survived by his father Ross, his children April, Ryan, Katie and William, his grandchildren Tristian, Drew, Tatum, Jonathan and Benjamin and by his siblings Judy, Shari, Steven and Eric. Also survived by the mothers of his children Ginnene and Debbie they were later divorced. A celebration of life will be held in June 2024- place and date to be announced later.
