Willie B. Bradley, Jr. 76, of Lilbourn, Missouri died Friday, March 20, 2026 at St. Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. He was born July 7, 1949 in Gary, Indiana to the late Willie B. Bradley Sr. and the late Marie Paul of Gary, Indiana.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by two sons, Christopher Bradley and Willie B. Bradley, III.

He leaves to cherish his precious memories two daughters, Tianesha Marie Mead of Lilbourn, Amanda Brown of Ohio, seven sons, Robert Johnson of Gideon, William Christopher (Fatima Burt) Bradley and Jeremy Anderson of Sikeston, David Bradley and Percy Johnson of Malden, Michael Jordan Jones of Florida, John Paul Bradley of Indiana, his grandchildren, Mycah Lorenzo Bradley, Alicia Bradley, Mycah Lorenzo Bradley, Alicia Bradley, Lamarcus Johnson, Kimberly Johnson, Deandra Johnson, Shauna Johnson, Devon Johnson, Percy Johnson, Joshua Johnson, Jessica Johnson, Deontae Ray, Javier Pratcher, Laterrius Triplett, Zhuri Triplett, Zacarie Triplett, Zamarian Triplett, Hiyonna Doolin, Nicholas Johnson, and Jason Johnson, and a host of cousins, other relatives and friends.
