Decatur, IN

John J. Bradley, 81, of Decatur, Indiana, passed away on Sunday, March 8, at Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He was surrounded by his loving family at the time of his passing.

John spent many years as an over-the-road truck driver, a career he took great pride in. In his free time, he enjoyed sports, gambling, and a good cup of coffee. Those closest to him will fondly remember his favorite phrase in his later years: “Oh yeah.”

He was preceded in death by his parents, Bert E. Bradley and Ruth (Kash) Wikle, and by his brother, Kenneth Kash.

John is survived by his daughters, Becky (Matt) Jauregui of Decatur, Indiana, and Alicia (Jeff) Dorais of Ossian, Indiana; and by his sons, John (Lisa) Bradley of Phoenix, Arizona, Mike Bradley of Clarksville, Tennessee, James Bradley of Berne, Indiana, and Tom (Heather) Bradley of Elizabethtown, Kentucky. He is also survived by seventeen grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

The family will hold a private celebration of life at a later date.
