1992-2008

JD Gaddis, 16, of Bandera, passed away on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
He was born on June 17, 1992, to James David Gaddis and Angela Wagley Brocco in Dalton, Georgia.

JD was in the 10th grade at Bandera High School.

He loved music, especially the guitar. He wrote and played many of his own songs. JD enjoyed making people laugh and always had a smile on his face. A lover of animals, he was also a hugger and a giver and was always there for his mom. JD was a leader, not a follower, and will be remembered as a very charismatic person.
