Cecil Ray Bradley

**In Loving Memory of Cecil Ray Bradley**

Cecil Ray Bradley, a cherished resident of Poplar Bluff, Missouri, was born on March 24, 1948, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to the late Raymond and Geneva (Adams) Bradley. He peacefully departed this life on October 8, 2024, at the age of 76 years, 6 months, and 14 days, leaving behind a legacy of love and fond memories.

Cecil was united in marriage to Clelah (Medley) Bradley on July 29, 1969, in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. Their union was a beautiful chapter until her passing on January 24, 2012. A devoted member of the 2nd Baptist Church in Poplar Bluff, Cecil found joy in his faith and community. He had a passion for riding motorcycles and hunting, yet his greatest joy came from the time spent with his grandchildren, cherishing every moment with his family.

He is survived by his loving daughter, Christina Bradley, and his son, Cecil Bradley, both of Poplar Bluff, Missouri. Cecil’s legacy continues through his siblings, James and Paul Bradley of Midwest City, Oklahoma, and Lesa Bradley of Casso, Oklahoma, alongside his six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, all of whom remember him with love and admiration.

Friends and loved ones are invited to pay their respects during the visitation scheduled for Friday, October 11, 2024, at 11 A.M. at the 2nd Baptist Church in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. The funeral service will follow at 1 P.M., officiated by Brother Curtis Crowley of Ellsinore, Missouri, celebrating a life well-lived. Interment will take place at Dudley Cemetery in Dudley, Missouri.

Watkins and Sons Funeral Service has been entrusted with the arrangements.

In this difficult time, we gather to honor and celebrate the life of Cecil Ray Bradley, whose spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
