In 2012 he purchased a home of which he was extremely proud and has been renovating it along with the help of his mom and dad.
Bradley was a proud Godfather to Tristen, Shyloh and Mavrick and a proud Uncle to Alexis. He was a good listener and was always there when his friends needed to talk. At times he could be quite humorous. Bradley will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by his family and many friends.
