Early in life, Bradley enjoyed spending his summers at the Boys and Girls Club of Cabarrus County, serving as Keystone President and received the Youth of the Year award. As an adult, he gave back to the Boys and Girls Club of Cabarrus County by serving on the Board of Directors.

 Bradley was well known and loved throughout the Concord community. As a friend quoted, “For all the times he was the voice of connection to those we love, all his work on the parades, all the advocacy to make our community better and all the shared real estate magic.”

Bradley cherished the joy of exploring the world with family and friends, while creating unforgettable memories. He was truly passionate about sports, cheering on the Carolina Panthers, the Charlotte Hornets, and the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers, but nothing brought him more joy than watching and cheering on Ava Grace, JB, and Cohen. 

 The family would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Bethany Ledwell, Communications Director and the Concord Police Department for their support they provided during this difficult time following Bradley's passing. The kindness and professionalism made a significant difference, and we are truly grateful for everything they did to support our family.
