Bradley Grady Tharp, only 23 years old, was born to Jeremy Tharp and Elisha Beede on December 11th, 2002 in Searcy, AR. Bradley unfortunately passed away in a tragic accident on January 20th, 2026.

Bradley was known as a jack of all trades. Like his father, Bradley excelled in mechanical endeavors and found joy in working with his hands. He was the kind of person who would be right there to help you fix your truck, then just as happily be by your side making memories while you tear it up along the way. At home, Bradley's favorite evenings were spent cooking dinner for his family and wrestling and laughing with the kids. Addy, Grady, and Barrett were his pride and joy and will continue to be a shining reflection of his character.

Bradley is survived by his wife Taylor Noble (Tharp); their three beloved children, Addy (9), Grady (5) and Barrett (10 months). He leaves behind his great grandmother (Doris), two grandmothers (Tonie) and (Sharon), his mother Elisha Beede, his father and stepmother Jeremy and Chasity Tharp, as well as his mother and father-in-law Sam and Nicole Noble. Bradley is also survived by his five siblings, Austin Beede (Kaly), and their two children Jack and Jace, Tabitha Peacock (Kolton), Kaitlen Beede, Roy and Lily Womack. Additionally, he leaves behind countless friends and loved ones, all of whom will remember his bold, fearless spirit and deep devotion to his children.

Bradley was preceded in death by his great-grandmother (Martha), two great-grandfathers (Stanley) and (Art), grandmother-in-law (Nanny), mother-in-law (Bonnie), and his two grandfathers (Jeff) and his hero Grady Dennis Tharp.

A visitation will be held on Thursday, January 29, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, with funeral services held the following day, Friday, January 30, at 1:00 PM. Both services will be held at Pangburn First Assembly Church. Bradley's final resting place will be at Crossroads Cemetery in Hopewell, Arkansas.

Bradley was taken too soon but he will forever remain in the hearts and stories of his loved ones.
