Michael Frank Bradley

July 9, 1944-Oct. 26, 2005

Mike died peacefully surrounded by his family and friends after an eight year battle with cancer, on October 26, 2005. He was born in Everett, on July 9, 1944, to Frank and Gertrude Bradley, who have both preceded him in death.
Upon his graduation from Lake Stevens High School in 1962, he enlisted into the Army where he received x-ray technician training. After his tour in Germany, he returned to the University of Washington Hospital, ultimately becoming a CT Lab Tech. He then became a salesman in the medical imaging business for several years prior to returning to the hospital environment he enjoyed. His return to patient contact started at Valley General in Monroe and then moved to Providence Medical Center in Everett.
He never said "why me". Instead he focused on how he could make a positive difference during his life. Knowing his cancer did not have a cure, he offered to participate in several experimental programs at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. With an incredible team and staff at the center, and other participants like him, the search for a cure is moving forward. Mike's passion for his family and life allowed him to stay a little longer. That extra time rewarded the many of us who knew him.
Mike's life was blessed with the many friends he'd met at work, fishing the salt waters from here to Alaska, and on the highways covered with the sounds of his favorite Harleys. His calling ended enjoying his grandchildren, the surrounding mountains and the waters of the Skykomish that were in his backyard.
Mike is survived by his two children, Justin (Janay) Bradley and Michelle (Jim) Stein; four grandchildren, Madison, Hannah, James and Tallon; brother, Martin (Kathleen) Bradley; sister, Darlene Clyde; and many nieces and nephews.
Services will be held at 12 p.m., Saturday, November 5, at Cascade Community Church, 14377 Boulevard, Monroe, Washington.
Donations can be made to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.
