Four-month-old Bradley Greenwood from Hefflin, Alabama passed away early on April 29, 2026 at 12.22 a.m. The Baby Boy was born with double outlet right ventricle, a rare heart defect where both major arteries connect to the right side of his heart. His parents, Devon and Crystal, along with sisters Paisley and Kinley, face tough times caring for him. Just 11 days before Brantley died, folks at the Cleveland County sale barn pulled off something special. They auctioned the same rooster 22 times, with buyers passing you right back up each round. That effort raised over $5,500 to help the family cover medical bills. The community rallied hard, showing real love to donations and prayers. People from East Alabama stepped up big, inspired by the Greenwoods fight, turning a simple farm auction into a wave of support that touched everyone involved. Crystal shared that Brantley recently battled a bad infection that spread fast through his tiny body.

Despite the hard break, the family holds on to peace, believing he's in a better place now. Stories like this remind us how kindness binds us in the darkest moments, leaving hope for Devon, Crystal, Paisley, and Kinley as they heal together. Local news, powered by AI.
