My sincere condolences to the family of Ronald Earl. He meant a lot to my family. He was always ready o help us in any way he could. I called him, “MY Woody Butler” He could repair and fix anything he put his hands on. My husband was a friend of his and he loved him and believed that if anything needed attention in and around the house or yard, he needed Ronald Earl. Ronald Earl was truly family to the Pullens. The family is truly in our prayers.
Braswell is and will always be my uncle. He was like a brother to my dad.
Brad was like a brother to my family. We was always included in any family gatherings we had. It’s so hard to believe that he’s gone. Brad will always be remembered for his endless smile and laughter. May you rest in Peace!

Ronald Earl (Braz) we the Moten family are missing you already. You were more than just a friend. Heaven has gained a great man in you. We loved you and we truly truly love you.
I don’t know where to began, whew, I am going to miss you. You wasn’t related to us Pullen’s, but you were definitely family. We appreciate everything you have done for us. You were the jack of all trades for frogtown, their wasn’t nothing you couldn’t fix. I remember you and my mom Bernice/Leathy would go at it all the time and be back friends the next day 😂. Strange love/hate relationship you guys had. I didn’t know Tuesday at my grandma house was going to be the last time I saw you, but I’m glad I did.
To the family, praying for strength during this time.
I will truly miss this guy, from the first time we met over
thirty years ago he never treated me like a stranger. A real
true brother in law.
Ronald Earl Brazwell was my friend who became family. I always called him Mr. Brazwell because of the great respect I held for him.
We started out as friends but some where along the way we became like brothers. I will miss my friend and brother. He left the world a little better.
Braz, as I always called him was a special friend, with the kindest heart. We shared a friendship continous over the years, since our old days at Waco Apparel. I will truely, truely miss you my friend. To the family, my deepest sympathy, may God keep his exchanging hands on each and everyone of you.
