Glenn Bradshaw Obituary

Glenn Allen Bradshaw, 44, died Jan. 23, 2008, at Providence Alaska Medical Center after a long and courageous fight with cancer.
A celebration of his life will be at 6 p.m. Sunday at the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum, 4721 Aircraft Drive.
Allen was born Oct. 5, 1963, in Okinawa, Japan, the son of Donald and Alene Bradshaw. He came with his family to Alaska in the mid 1970s.
His family wrote: "Allen's greatest gift is his love for Eva and his family. One of the many gifts he leaves us with is the unwavering courage he displayed and shared with those who are blessed to have had him in their lives. The hope he left to others with cancer is another gift to be treasured as well."
Allen was preceded in death by his sister, Marilyn Joe Bradshaw.
He is survived by the love of his life, Eva Prewitt; parents, Donald and Alene Bradshaw; brother, Donald Bradshaw Jr. and family; sisters, Laura White and family, Kathy Bradshaw and family, and Robyn Enfinger and family.

Happy Birthday my love, missing you bunches!
This is so beautiful had to share-
"God looked around his garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best. He knew you were suffering. He knew you were in pain. He knew you would never get well on this earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, and hills were hard to climb. He closed your weary eyelids and whispered-Peace be thine. It broke our hearts to loose you but you didn't go alone. Part of us went with you the day God called you home."
With all my heart love,
Eva

January 25, 2013

Little Brother its still hard to beleive that you are not with us but in spirit.How can I ever thank you for the gift you gave me the day GOD took you home to be with JOJO.Your room had the most wonderful light and the smile on your face told me the whole story.Thank you so much.Love you always.

My Dearest Al,

I thought of you yesterday on your 50th birthday. I'm sure you and Jo had a party. Yesterday was Billy's birthday too. He and his wife had a baby boy on your birthday. They named him Addicus Jackson. I think you would have liked the first name as I think it came from a science fiction movie. I miss your wonderful laugh every day and look forward to hearing it again. I miss you and Jo terribly and you both are always in my heart.

Love always!!!

Time has passed so slow since GOD took you home.My heart still hurts from not having you with me.I will never forget the great times we had and the fight you had with the sickness but the greatest gift you left me was knowing that GOD came to you and took you home.I know that you and JOJO are together with all our family and Eva's family.Iam sure that Martha is taking good care of you because of the love she has for you.The light in your room and the smile on your face shows that GOD was there with you.I will always love you.Little Dave just has twins and Chance has your curly hair.I know that you will see over all of them cause little Dave was your like a son to you.

By Flavia
Some people touch our lives in deep and wonderous ways with their kindness.
They teach us the capacity of the human spitit.
With their wisdom the help us to view life as a magical journey.
With their hearts they show us the true meaning of love.

Little brother,
We little know that morning,that GOD was going to call your name.In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,you did not go alone,for part of us went with you,the day GOD called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,your love is still our guide.And though we can not see you,you are always at our side.Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same.But as GOD call is one by one the chain will link
again.

Eva - It is hard to do but rather than mourn Allen we should try in our hearts to celebrate the life that he lived. In all the years that I knew him, I never heard him complain or whine and if any one had the right to do that it was him. Still I know that your heart is broken and I pray that you will find the inner strength to go on and enjoy your life. Just think - Allen and Jo-Jo are probably up there cutting all kinds of capers.

I'll miss Al. I feel bad that we drifted apart and that I didn't try harder to see him lately.

He was one of those kind people that never complained about anything--even when he should have.

Always generous with his time, money, and support. He was a genuinely good person.

Rest in peace.

Such a wonderful person who's life was cut short way too soon. The only comfort I know Eva, and your family will have, is knowing that you and Marilyn are together once again. My heart goes out to your family as once again they have to experience tragedy..

Diana Bradshaw

January 26, 2008

To all the loved ones left behind, remember how great his love for life and family was, and know that he was loved by so many, and someday we will see him again. I was blessed to be part of his extended family and had the great honor of meeting such a courageous, wonderful man, who touched the lifes of many. He will be sadley missed, but never forgotten.

Across the lands we may be apart,
but their is no distance that can
seperate us from our hearts. You will always be with us .
