Gregory Dean Bradley Jr., 28, went to his eternal home on the evening of Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2025, surrounded by his family.
Born June 17, 1997, Greg is the son of Gregory Bradley Sr. (father) and Rhoda Bigmeat (mother). He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Russell Bigmeat I; his paternal grandfather, Fred Bradley; his paternal great grandmother, Elzina T. Bradley; and maternal great grandmother, Ruth Silcox.

Greg had a heart of gold and was kind to everyone. He was a giving person in life, and that giving continued even in death as he was able to help others live by donating his organs, eyes, and tissues.
Greg loved music, games, and most of all his family. You often hear it said that only the good die young, and that is true of Greg. He was an angel bound for heaven.
Enjoying Christmas in paradise, Greg leaves his family with the special gift of endless laughs and precious memories.
