Bradley McCracken Obituary

Bradley J McCracken

Evansville,

Bradley J McCracken of Evansville, IN, passed away on Friday, the 1st of February, 2019 at 1:12 pm at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, MO. He was 65 years old and was born on the 24th of July, 1953 in Washington, IN. He graduated from Washington High School and Indiana State University.



He and his wife Lucille (Wickman) were happily married 35 years and raised two children, David Eugene and Leah Clare. With his family, he shared his passion for golf, fishing, and coupon cutting. He commanded the kitchen like no other, fattening up his family with everything from chicken kabobs to steak and potatoes to a whole host of soups. But Sundays were always pizza, no exceptions. Brad's backyard was a welcoming haven where all the squirrels could dine on an endless supply of nuts, and all the birds could live rent-free in one of his many homemade birdhouses.



Bradley was the Founder and President of American Diversified Financial Group in Evansville, IN, during which time he faithfully served his clients by examining ever-changing market trends and continually expanding the scope of his practice with innovative licenses and certifications.



He is preceded in death by parents Eugene and Ruth (Snider) and is survived by brothers Gary and Michael and sister Janie Wheeler.



Brad was—and is—a man of generosity, dedication, and love. He will be missed by so many whose lives he touched, but he will never be forgotten.

Friends may visit with Brad's family from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm est. on Saturday, February 9, 2019 at Goodwin-Sievers Funeral Home, 2020 State Street, Washington, IN. A celebration of life service will begin at 1:00 pm est. at the funeral home on Saturday. On line memories may be shared with Brad's family and friends at www.goodwinsieversfh.com. Goodwin-Sievers Funeral Home is honored to assist the McCracken family with arrangements.
