Bradley Weidenhaft

Bradley G. Weidenhaft, 62, Glen Elder, KS, took his last motorcycle ride on Saturday, March 7, 2020. His family was with him as he rode towards his Heavenly home after a long, hard fought battle with pancreatic cancer. Brad was born July 22, 1957 in Beloit, KS to Billy Raymond Weidenhaft and Phyllis Taylor Weidenhaft.

Brad grew up in the Glen Elder area and attended school at Glen Elder elementary, junior and senior high schools. Brad graduated from Waconda East High School in 1975 after the Glen Elder and Cawker City schools consolidated.

During high school Brad worked as a CNA at the Mitchell County Hospital. He attended school at NCK Vo-Tech, Cloud County Community College, and Barton County Community College. His dream was to become an Air Ambulance Flight Nurse. Circumstances worked against him and he had to forgo that dream.

During college Brad met and married his first wife, Glenda Villanueva Szymanski, to whom two daughters, Lori and Amber, were born. Brad then married Michele Benson Holmes to whom a son and daughter, Levi and Andrea. were born.

In December of 2018 Brad finally married Eve Yacko Weidenhaft. Although they didn't have any children together, she brought her kids and grandkids along to complete the family. Brad and Eve were together for 7 years. Brad worked for Farmway Coop station in Cawker City where he ultimately met his future wife Eve while she was working there during her senior year of high school. It would be many years and 7 kids later that they would finally get together, thanks to two daughters trying to get them together, one daughter's car accident and one son's suggestions for Brad to text Eve after the accident.
