Bradley Walker Obituary
1979 - 2020
Bradley Roger Walker, age 40, passed away on Sunday, August 30, 2020 after a brief illness. Bradley was born in Columbus, Ohio October 30, 1979. He is preceded in death by his beautiful mother Tracy Walker and his loving grandparents Donald and Sandra Walker. Brad is survived by his cousin, Dustin (Sarah) McDowell; his special nieces, Rylee and Haidyn McDowell; his aunts, Paula Walker and Dawn Denise McDowell (Ron). Brad was also survived by his fur babies, Scooter and Nugget who he loved very much as well as numerous other family and friends. Brad was employed with UPS as a driver for over 20 years he was very proud of that. He loved being outside and physically active, meeting and getting to know people along the way. Brad was very witty and had a very magnetic personality. He never realized the impact he had on others or how special he was. Loved the beach, palm trees and had a vacation with family to celebrate his mother's life recently which was very important to him. Brad was a very special person who will be missed so very much. Our hearts are breaking over this tremendous loss. Family will receive friends from 5-8pm on Thursday, September 10, 2020 at SCHOEDINGER NORTHWEST CHAPEL, 1740 Zollinger Road.

I first met Brad while working at the Columbus Dispatch, one day I pulled in from work and I soon realized that we were also neighbors! That was about 15 years ago. Brad has always had a smile to exchange and was always friendly, I will always remember that. Brad had an excellent work ethic and was not afraid to step out on his own as his car detailing ventures this past year has proven that. Brad would often stop by and chit chat to catch up and he spoke highly of his family and the not so distant passing of his mother. The last time I spoke with him he talked of his recent vacation to Florida and how much he enjoyed it. I will miss those chit chat sessions and his smile.RIP Brad.

Brad was always silly & joking around at work. He would sit in my office after a shift at UPS and just talk with me. You are greatly missed!
