David Bradley Musgrove was born July 24, 1959, to Donavon and Audrey (Van Dee) Musgrove, in Newton, Iowa.

Brad was a 1977 graduate of Lynnville-Sully High School. On November 20, 1982, Brad was united in marriage to Cindy Rankin in Sully, Iowa. To this union they were blessed with two daughters: Natasha and Nicolette.

Brad worked for Co-Line Manufacturing for more than 29 years.

Brad lived life to the fullest and never met a stranger, only friends he hadn’t talked to yet.

In his spare time, he enjoyed spending time outdoors, golfing, fishing, camping, growing flowers, pool season, and flying kites on the beach with his grandkids. He practiced a quiet yet deep faith. He also enjoyed watching the Iowa Hawkeyes, motorcycles, making cookies, family trips to Colorado and Florida, and spending time with family, friends and loved ones.

Brad passed away on January 18, 2026, at the Comfort House in Pella, at the age of 66, after a courageous 6 year battle with cancer.

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife Cindy and their family:

Natasha (John) Ripley, Ankeny, Iowa

     Brayden, Nora

Nicolette (Jay) Mitchell, Sully, Iowa

     Baya, Amelle, Hollyn

Brad is also survived by his mother Audrey Musgrove, brother Brett Musgrove of Sully, father and mother-in-law Ron and Betty Rankin of Reasnor, and sister-in-law Teresa Gifford.

Brad was preceded in death by his father Donavon Musgrove.

Memorials may be given to Hospice of Pella.
