Craig Gene Bradshaw, age 64 went to be with his heavenly father on August 23, 2024. He was born June 28, 1960, in Clinton Oklahoma to Earnest and Barbara Bradshaw.
He graduated receiving his diploma at Sterling High School, then later went on to attend Oklahoma State University where he received a bachelor's degree in science in Engineering Technology.
Due to the oil bust in 1984 he went into banking where he was a community and business leader for over 30 years. During Craig's time in the Banking Industry, he was the EVP at BancFirst, VP at Truity Credit Union, and the Market President at Bank Okla for several years. On November 17, 2012, he married the love of his life Angel Kelton.
Craig was fun and full of enthusiasm for life. He had a sweet spirit with a touch of orneriness! He loved going to the beach, and spending time beside the pool, he was famous for shouting "NO RUNNING!" Craig loved listening to music, including Springsteen and Tragically Hip, and watching any weird movie that came along. He loved to golf and take trips with his golf friends, he loved to cook and will forever be known for making Sunday gravy and jambalaya, he loved OSU football and basketball even though he yelled at the TV, and last but not least he loved spending time with his children and loved being a Papa to his grandkids.
His pride and joy were his family, he loved them to the moon and back.
Craig is preceded in death by his father and mother Earnest and Barbara Bradshaw and his paternal grandparents and maternal grandparents.
His memory will forever live on with his wife Angel Bradshaw, his children Lauren (Nathan) Cosby, and Zachary (Emily Ann Gray) Bradshaw, his brothers Dwayne (Ann) Bradshaw; Bart (Stacy) Bradshaw; Kevin (Jana) Bradshaw; and Nealis (Carolyn) Bradshaw. His Stepchildren Jennifer (Brent) Butler and Joe Kelton, his grandchildren Brenden, Layla and Lexi, his nieces and nephews, Melissa (Brett) Noakes; Amber (Patrick) Scott; Travis Bradshaw; Corey (Selena) Bradshaw; Mitchell Bradshaw; Karsyn Bradshaw; Amanda (Russell) Eary; and Ryan Bradshaw and his Wife, as well as numerous great nieces and nephews, cousins and friends.
