Bradley was a proud retiree of Frank's Casing Crew, where he dedicated many years to the oilfield industry. Even after sustaining an injury that left him disabled, his determination and resilience allowed him to return to work, exemplifying his tenacity and strong work ethic. An avid outdoorsman, Bradley cherished every moment spent fishing, hunting, and camping. Whether he was trolling on the water or chasing crawfish with his buddy Darron, he found joy and solace in nature.

His love extended beyond mere presence; he actively tended to a garden, sharing the fruits of his labor with those he cherished. Bradley was married for 58 years to the love of his life.
