Michael Bradburn Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
April 29, 1985 – April 6, 2025
Grayslake, IL
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Michael Patrick Bradburn, age 39, a dedicated critical care, paramedic and traveling nurse, who left us unexpectedly on April 6, 2025. Born on April 29, 1985, in Lake Forest, IL, Michael was the beloved son of James and Lynn (née Zillner) Bradburn.
Michael lived his life in service to others, a true professional who cared deeply for those in need. Michael loved life and he had a great ability to make people laugh especially his children. Michael was Mason and a member of the Scottish rite of Freemasonry.
Michael leaves behind his loving wife, Amber Turner-Bradburn, and children, Saya and Grey Bradburn, who were the light of his life. He is deeply mourned by his parents, James and Lynn Bradburn, his grandmother, Marilyn Zillner and his siblings: Jennifer (Austin) Broyles, Diana (Jack) Herman, and Sarah (Alan) Pitts. He was a loving uncle, cousin, and friend to many, and his loss leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew him.
A memorial visitation and service will be held on Friday, April 11, 2025, at Strang Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, located at 410 E. Belvidere Rd., Grayslake, IL 60030. Visitation will begin at 6:00 pm, followed by the service at 8:00 pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Amber Turner – Bradburn for the children's college fund, ensuring that Michael's legacy of care and support for his family will continue.
