He might just take Uncle Roy for a ride today. Oh, Uncle Roy went to heaven a little over a year ago, but his spirit remains, right there inside that old 1985 Ford F-150 pickup truck. With the wind in his face and gospel music in his soul, Bradley Bozeman might just want to honor his uncle while crying a little more. It was a special Father’s Day for the former Crimson Tide offensive lineman. It was Bradley’s first Father’s Day as his 5-month-old son Brody lights up his world. A moment of joy: News We LoveAnd on Friday, two days before Father’s Day, as Bradley and his son and his wife, Nikki, celebrated their wonderful life, they took Uncle Roy for a walk. Roy Lipham was a wonderful man who lived in Newell, Alabama. A small piece of land near the Georgia border, Roy loved his life and his Lord. Roy was married to his wife, Ann, for 51 years. He loved making windmills and crosses and stone churches. Growing up, Bradley Bozeman loved spending time with Uncle Roy, and his smooth voice comforted Bradley. Roy’s crazy peanut and pound cakes were the best ever, and Roy’s old F-150 pickup truck was Bradley Bozeman’s happy place, its rust giving it character as Bradley hopped in the front seat on hot summer days.

Bradley relaxed after his voluntary workout and minicamp with the Carolina Panthers – fall camp will begin soon. Nikki called Bradley to the driveway. It was going to be the best Father’s Day ever. He was stunned, he was speechless, he was confused. Watch the video above to see Bradley receive his gift and his emotional reaction. “Happy Father’s Day,” Nikki said as the man dropped the truck keys into Bradley’s palm. Nikki had known for years that Bradley loved that Ford F-150. When family members called and offered Nikki the truck, she kept the news a secret. The wind was warm as it drifted through the truck. Bradley turned on the radio as he took the truck for a spin around the neighborhood, a gospel music station somehow finding its way onto the radio. Bradley’s heart leaped when he heard the gospel music. He thought of his 5-month-old son and his 92-year-old uncle, who died on June 7, 2022. The 300-pound NFL offensive lineman cried as he drove.
