Bradley Ide Obituary
Bradley L. Ide, a beloved father, son, and friend, passed away in Indianapolis on September 15, 2025, at the age of 56. Born on November 6, 1968, in Michigan, Bradley was known for his remarkable spirit, humor, and fighting spirit, persevering through challenges despite the odds stacked against him.
Bradley’s personality was a blend of humor and resilience; he was a fighter who approached life with a no-filter attitude that endeared him to many. His passion for life was reflected in his love for 80's classic rock, fishing, hockey and attending sporting events, particularly enjoying games featuring the Pacers and Colts. His adventurous spirit brought joy not only to his life but also to those around him.
Bradley's proudest accomplishments were his family, including his daughter Nicole (Joe) Stephens, his son Brandon (Gracen) Ide, and his seven wonderful grandchildren. He cherished every moment spent with them, leaving behind a legacy of love and laughter that will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his Mother Karen Ide and his Grandmother Vivian Lucille Nugent.
He was survived by his Children Nicole (Joe) Stephens and Brandon (Gracen) Ide. His Grandchildren Kyli Ide (18) Elyjah Ide (15) Gavyn Stephens (12) Kaylynn Stephens (10) Landyn Stephens (8) Delaeni Ide (7) Delilah Ide (4).
A Celebration of Life Gathering and Service to honor Bradley will take place at Flanner Buchanan-Washington Park East in Indianapolis on October 3, 2025. The gathering will start at 11:00 AM, followed by a memorial service at 1:00 PM. Friends and family are invited to come together to celebrate his remarkable life and the indelible impact he had on those around him. Bradley L. Ide will be profoundly missed but his spirit will continue to resonate in the lives of his loved ones, who will carry his memory forward with fondness and admiration.
