Bradley Wade Teet, 53, of Chattanooga, and formerly of Lookout Mountain, passed away peacefully surrounded by friends and family on January 28, 2023. Brad was a decorated veteran who served in Iraq and had previously spent four years of active duty.
Brad was born on June 24, 1969 to parents Irby Teet and Deanna Atchley in Trenton. Brad graduated in 1987 from Northwest Georgia High School, and always emphasized his love for riding dirt bikes. At the young age of four, Brad received his first bike, and it was love at first sight. If he wasn’t riding a bike, he was fixing one up. His love for mechanics translated later into his military career, where he became a diesel mechanic for the Army. Brad would go on to serve for two tours, one being right out of high school and one after the events of 9/11.
When he wasn’t working on bikes, he was working hard at being the best father to his two girls. He loved them endlessly and always wanted what was best for them. He was goofy and a big joker with his family and friends, always a cut-up who constantly made people laugh and smile. Anyone who knew Brad knows that although he was stubborn as a mule, he was a fierce and loyal friend; he was always willing to give a helping hand.
Brad is preceded in death by grandparents, Joseph and Rose Bokina and Kenneth and Bessie Teet; father, Irby C. Teet; and uncles and aunts, Dwane Teet, Barbara (Bobby) LeCroy, Carolyn Bokina and Phil Granger.
He is survived by daughters, Brooke Teet and Lisa Guyer; mother, Deanna (Donald) Atchley; step-mother, Beverly Teet; brothers, Stephen and Jesse Teet; sister, Marceela Teet; nieces, Cassidy Klitzke and Ashley Perkins; nephew, Damon Case; aunts and uncles, Anita (Jesse) Hines, Charlotte (Winfred) Mills, Yvonnee Williams, Thelma Teet, Joseph ‘Bo’ (Joyce)
Bokina, Jr. and Kathleen Granger; and an endless amount of cousins and friends.
Graveside services will be held on Thursday, Feb. 2 at 2 p.m. at Griffin Holiness Church Cemetery, Lookout Mountain, Ga., with full military honors and Bro. Royce Cornelison officiating. There will be no public visitation.
Arrangements are under the direction of Ryan Funeral Home & Crematory, Trenton.
