Thomas Robert Bradley's Obituary
Thomas Robert Bradley, 38 of West Valley City, UT would like you all to know his work here was done on June 18, 2024 and he went on a trip. The sort of trip you can't refuse and one which he will not be returning from. The best part of this trip will be the reunion he has with his family and friends that he has not seen in a long time. Affectionately known as "Tommy" when he was a child, he shortened it to just "Tom" as he grew older.
Tom was born July 1, 1985 in Colorado Springs, CO. He was the third child and only son to parents David and Eileen Bradley. Joining his older sisters, Nikki and Kelly, his arrival completed their family. Tom and his sisters grew up as "army brats". Their early childhood consisted of new states, new schools and new countries with all the moving that they did. A trend that Tom never outgrew even as an adult. He lived in many places including Idaho, New Jersey, Germany, Minnesota, Delaware (where he met his wife, Karen, they were later divorced) and finally Utah. As the saying goes, a rolling stone gathers no moss. The one thing he did gather from all his travels were friends. Tom was a very loyal friend and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.
Tom is survived by his sisters, Nikki (Darren) Ritchie of Rigby, ID. Kelly Bradley of New Jersey. Nephews Kaden Ritchie of Rigby, ID. Skyler and K.P. Boyle of New Jersey. Nieces Cierra (Matt) Ritchie of Idaho Falls, ID. Saphyre Boyle of New Jersey. And all the friends he considered family.
Tom was preceded in death by both sets of grandparents, his parents David and Eileen Bradley and his niece Sage Ritchie.
A celebration of life will be held on July 1, 2024 at 10259 S. Carr Fork Dr. Bingham Canyon, Utah 84006 at 1pm.
