Bradly Scott Hays
Bradly Scott Hays, age 52, of Killeen, passed from this life Saturday, August 30, 2025. Private family services will be held at a later date.
Bradly was born on December 23, 1972, in Temple, Texas, to David Alan Hays and Lenann Welter. On June 23, 2023, he married the love of his life, Khyara Hinchman.
Bradly was the light to his wife’s darkness, a husband, confidant, counselor, accountant, and even the household nutritional chef. He had a gift for bringing out the best in people, even when they didn’t deserve it. Known as the life of the party, Bradley could turn any gathering into an event to remember.
He especially loved stirring up debates on Facebook, often finding humor in how easily people became upset over small things. To those around him, he taught the importance of forgiveness and “cleaning the slate” when others treated people poorly. Bradley embraced life with the spirit of an Irish rock-and-roll pirate, and he will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Elizabeth and Edward Doering and Emil Massey, as well as his sister, Aubrey Lynn Hays.
Left to cherish his memory are his parents, David Alan Hays and Lenann Welter; his beloved wife, Khyara Hays; his son, William Hays; his daughter, Luma Hays; and his brothers, Stephen Hays and Dante C. Hays.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to all their friends and loved ones for the support and kindness shown during this devastating loss.
