Bradley Michael Corcoran, 45, of Winthrop Harbor, Illinois died suddenly, but peacefully, in his home on November 1st, 2023. Brad was born March 31, 1978 in Waukegan and lived his life in Waukegan and Winthrop Harbor.
Brad grew up in Waukegan with his older sister Carrie and parents Michael (Razzle) and Mary. He grew up playing sports and had a love for music, playing on his drums and hanging out with his lifelong friends. He graduated from Waukegan High School in 1997. After High School Brad became a Carpenter and that was his work until the day he died.
Brad was the definition of a friend and could make friends anywhere he went. He loved to talk and have fun wherever he went. He was the life of the party and wanted to make sure that everyone around him was having a good time.
In 1998 Brad finally got together with the love of his life Sonya Lambert and soon after started their family with four wonderful children, Michael Joseph, Madisen Lucy, Mason Bradley and Mitchel Andrew. Brad loved his family with all his heart and was very proud of his children and their accomplishments. They resided in Winthrop Harbor for the remainder of his life.
Brad is survived by the love of his life, his wife, Sonya (nee Lambert) to whom he was with for 25 years; his four children, Michael Corcoran of Ankeny, IA., Madisen Corcoran of Winthrop Harbor, IL, Mason Corcoran of Winthrop Harbor, IL and Mitchel Corcoran of Winthrop Harbor, IL; his mom, Mary (nee Mcmanaman) of Winthrop Harbor, IL; nieces and nephews; and so many dear family members and loving friends.
