Mark Bradley Obituary

Mark S Bradley
Honor, MI
12/03/1953 - 10/20/2025
Mark Shane Bradley, of Honor, Michigan, passed away on October 20, 2025, at the age of 71.
Born in Indiana on December 3, 1953, he was the beloved son of Woodroe and Oma Jean (Prater) Bradley. Mark married the love of his life, Pamela L. (Holler) Bradley, on January 19, 1973, and together they built a life filled with love, hard work, and family.
Mark was the proud father of Nicole Bradley and the adoring grandfather of Anthony Bradley, who was the light of his life. He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Janet Ambrose, his brother Woodroe Jr., and his beloved son Ryan M. Bradley.
After moving to Michigan in 1973, Mark worked in maintenance at Pet Milk, as a welder at Actron Steel, and later at Kasson Sand and Gravel. In July 1991, he fulfilled a lifelong dream by opening Bradley Sand and Gravel, which he owned and operated with pride and dedication until his passing.
Mark was known for his strong work ethic, generosity, and loyalty to those he cared about. He loved spending time with his family and friends, and his grandson brought him endless joy. When he wasn't working, Mark enjoyed unwinding at the casino, sharing stories, and laughing with those around him.
He will be remembered for his kindness, his steady presence, and the deep love he had for his family and community.
A memorial gathering will be held Friday October 31, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm at Jowett Family Funeral Home in Benzonia. He will be buried in Benzonia Twp Cemetery. Arrangements with Jowett Family Funeral Home.

I have known Mark since about 2000 as he delivered sand and gravel to my property. As years passed and when the opportunity presented itself, I woukd meet him as he was making my delivery and we woukd chat. When Mark would answer his phone, he always started with "How's John" question. Mark did a number of projects for me over the years. I will sorely miss him now. John

We will miss Mark very much Mark will be remembered as a friend and trusted sand and gravel expert. The work Mark has done at our house is one of a "dirt artist" as I used to tease him.
May you rest in peace Mark
