Bradley Kent Marks

It is with profound heartache that his wife announces the passing of Bradley Kent Marks, age 62, who left us on October 29, 2025. Born on December 17, 1962, in Harrisburg, PA, to the late Cynthia (Kramer) and James Marks. Brad was a beloved husband, brother, and friend. 

Brad graduated from Red Land High School in 1980 and went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in business administration from The Pennsylvania State University in 1984. He dedicated 34 years as a Logistics Management Specialist in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support International Program.

His critical role in military readiness earned him the esteemed reputation of being a “hero” in Japan, reflecting his respect for Asian culture and commitment to excellence. He retired in 2018 and was highly respected and well-liked by colleagues and friends and known not only for his professional achievements but also for his warm-hearted nature and sense of humor. 

Brad found joy in the simple pleasures of life: listening to a variety of music—from jazz and classical to progressive rock, developing a flair for cooking. His wife often enjoyed "fancy eggs” that he used to prepare. Brad also mastered refinishing furniture. He cherished his beloved cat, Sasha, and embraced every moment with a youthful spirit, often taking on the role of the class clown because he enjoyed making moments more lighthearted. 

He is survived by his beloved wife of 30 years, Timberle Cero, his brother; Gregory (Sherry) Marks, and his loving niece Shannon Marks. Brad will be remembered as a gentle soul and a supportive presence in the lives of those who knew him. His legacy of kindness and joy will forever remain in our hearts. 

To honor Brad’s wishes, a memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 28th at 2pm at Timberle and Bradley’s home. Please reach out to Timberle for more information.
