Bradon Harold Kuehn

Bradon Harold Kuehn, age 16 passed away on Sunday, June 2, 2024, at St. Francis Children’s Hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Bradon’s parents chose to honor him and his big heart by donating his organs to others in need. 

Bradon was born on July 26, 2007, to Brandon Harold and Lura Sue (Hudson) Kuehn n Bartlesville, Oklahoma. He grew up in the South Coffeyville area where also attended school at Oklahoma Union. Bradon’s parents later divorced but the love they shared for their children will forever remain.

Bradon grew up on his family ranch learning about the cattle industry and the value of a hard day's work. He learned how to apply his compassion, responsibility, and discipline to his everyday life. Ranching is a team effort; Bradon was vital to the ranch’s success and never complained about the everyday tasks, knowing that is what it took to be successful. He was the 4th generation rancher of the Rocking K Ranch. 

As the youngest brother of 11 siblings, he had the biggest heart. Bradon cared for his friends and family so much that he would often make sure that nobody went without. He was known to make sure his friends always had gas and “eating” money. People tended to gravitate towards his hilarious, kindhearted, and ornery personality including all his friends, nieces, and nephews. He loved to fish, hunt, and camp with his family and friends. 

Bradon was an All-American boy and a student at Oklahoma Union Public School. He was highly praised by his teachers and was on the Superintendent's Honor Roll and received Outstanding Attendance awards. From a young age Bradon was an extraordinary athlete starting with T-ball and on to basketball and football. Often, he was described as "a young man with no quit in him.” 4-H and FFA were an enormous part of Bradon’s life. Over the years he showed cattle and hogs, participated in cattle grading, and was a member of the pasture and range team. He won many awards throughout his time in FFA. Bradon spent many hours in shop class building gates or panels, as well. 

This would not be complete without talking about his love for chickens. Bradon shared this passion with a couple of his best friends. They spent many hours engaged in the raising, breeding, and production of his game birds. He would get so annoyed if anyone “overfed” them when he was gone. He took great pride in those birds! 

Bradon is survived by his parents Brandon and Amber Kuehn, Lura Kuehn, siblings Dylan Hudson (Sara), Dakota Hudson (Lexi), Jimmy Hudson (Cheyenne), Taylor Kuehn (Colton), Robbie Kuehn (Dillon), Kassidy Kuehn, Sean Kuehn, Deja Kuehn, Addie Elms, Colton Elms, Jessica Elms, grandparents Steve Kuehn and Cindy Price, Jim and Patty Hudson, Gwen and Kenny Hales, Robin and Richard Yeubanks and Ronda Knight, aunts and uncles, Stephanie and David Oldham, Dovie Wands, Adam Hudson, Mark Hudson, Carrie Hudson and Kristen Hambleton.  Those who preceded in death are great grandparents and uncle Michael Kuehn, and his cousin Mickey Oldham.
