Michal David Bradshaw, of Rockwood, Tennessee, passed away on July 29, 2025, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, at the age of 75.
Born on March 26, 1950, to Smith and Mattie Bradshaw, Mike was one of a large and close-knit family. He was predeceased by his parents and nine of his brothers and sisters. He is survived by his daughter, Michelle Clough and her husband Darren of Harriman; his grandson, Ryan Hoppe and wife Laura of Hixson; sisters Shirley Hayes and Sue True of Rockwood; and a host of nieces and nephews.
Mike spent many years on the open road as a long-haul truck driver, traveling all over the country. He was also a gifted musician and singer, known for performing in several local bands during the 1980s and 1990s. A proud veteran, Mike served his country honorably in Vietnam and carried a lifelong respect for his fellow service members.
Those who knew Mike will remember his independent spirit. He lived life on his own terms, but above all else, he loved the Lord.
The family will have a private graveside and interment service at a later date. Evans Mortuary is serving the family of Mr. Michal David Bradshaw.
