Kelsey Hipp Bradfield Obituary

Kelsey Anna Hipp, 27 and Kenneth Jay "Ryan" Bradfield, 41 died unexpectedly in an automobile accident on April 27, 2019 while traveling to Pensacola Florida with their dogs Miles and Lucy.
Kelsey was a 2010 graduate of North High School and a 2014 graduate of the University of Evansville, earning both her Bachelors and Masters degrees in Health Services Administration. Following graduation, Kelsey was admitted to University of Evansville's inaugural Physicians Assistant program and completed her studies on April 26 of this year. Kelsey was known for her free spirit, infectious personality, incredible work ethic, and kind heart. Kelsey loved her family deeply, especially her mother Tricia.
Ryan attended Castle High School. He worked at Great Lakes Power Products. He enjoyed refurbishing vehicles, especially Jeeps, and had recently started a raptor liner business he pursued in his free time. He is survived by his son, Tylor (15) and daughter, Kiley (13); parents Ken and Ginger Bradfield; sisters Stacey Cobb and Brooke Carson.
Kelsey and Ryan loved life, travel, adventure and the outdoors. They also shared a great love of animals. Kelsey and Ryan seized any opportunity to spend time in nature and on the water. They loved kayaking, hiking, paddleboarding, boating, scuba diving, camping and constantly enjoying new experiences together with their two dogs Lucy and Miles. They worked hard and lived life to the fullest. They are survived by an innumerable number of family, friends, classmates and colleagues who will miss them dearly.
Friends and Family will gather this weekend to celebrate the lives of Kelsey and Ryan.

Ryan and Kelsey lived down the street from my family and I. We met after they moved in while walking our dog. Ryan would always have a project Jeep he would be working on, Kelsey would be in the yard with her dogs and frequently she would be gardening.
They were a beautiful young couple who will be missed by all.
