Bruce A. Bradley, 45, of Noblesville, passed away on Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at home. He was born on July 27, 1967 to Robert and Adolphine "Ada" Bradley in South Bend, Indiana.
Bruce was an HR consultant for Remy International in Pendleton; and had also worked as a consultant in various other companies in the Indianapolis area over the past 20 years. He was a graduate of Ball State University.
Bruce Bradley was a warm, playful man who focused his passion for life on his family and his friends. Always leading with his heart and greeting everyone with a hearty, 'Good to see you, my Brother,' his spirit drew so many, so close.
A dedicated father, husband and friend to many, Bruce was a prankster at heart. He was never without a joke, a smile, a story to tell, and a twinkle in his eye! An adamant optimist, his ability to see the positive and always find a reason to laugh could ease even the most uncomfortable situations. He was there for you day or night, and always found ways to comfort his loved ones even if he was the one who needed comforting.
His favorite times were with his family and friends whether it was camping trips, cookouts, crab boils, an afternoon on the lake, or catfishin' with the kids. He loved the Grateful Dead, sushi, bulldogs, motorcycles, mixed martial arts, Elvis, the Indy 500, classic movies, and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. But his true joy was his children, Brooke and Wyatt. He never missed a football game, a track meet, or a practice. He found great joy in coaching junior football and passed on all of his passion, caring, and motivation to his players.
He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 17 years, Kari and two children Brooke and Wyatt; his father Robert Bradley and his sisters Jill Bradley, Jennifer (John) Church, Brenda Bradley, Cheryl (John) Carey and several nieces and nephews.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 6, 2013 at St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church, 17102 Springmill Road in Westfield, with Father Kevin Haines officiating.
Memorial contributions may be made to an education fund for his children, Brooke and Wyatt, to Chase Bank, 198 Logan Street in Noblesville.
