In December 2025, Bradley was ordained a deacon in the Aaronic Priesthood of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He took great pride in his responsibility to pass the sacrament each week and treated that assignment with real seriousness and care. His deacons quorum and Young Men group included some of his closest friends, as well as older boys he admired. He loved serving, singing, learning, adventuring, and laughing with them—and he was always a dapper dude in his suit.

In October 2025, a few months before Bradley would receive the priesthood and begin passing the sacrament, he told us he needed to learn how to tie his own tie and that he would need weeks to practice. He insisted that he should not pass the sacrament if he could not tie his own tie “like a man.” He picked out a set of real neckties and practiced every Sunday with KC’s help until he could tie them himself. Bradley loved his suit (although he never hung it up after church like he was supposed to), and he always insisted on looking like a well-put-together gentleman for church. In that way, he reminded us so much of his Grandpa David Monson, for whom he was named.
