Brent Bradley Obituary

Brent Bradley
Frankfort, MI
April 19, 2024
Brent Norman Bradley of Frankfort passed away unexpectedly on April 19, 2024 in Orange Beach Alabama at the age of 55. Brent was a deeply beloved Husband, Father, Son, Uncle, Brother, and Friend. Brent loved fishing, spending time with his family, and most recently traveling the country in his RV with his wife Melissa and their two dogs. He was always arranging family trips, get togethers, and grand adventures. He recently took his mother and siblings to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Brent was the ultimate family man. The youngest of five children and the father of three, Brent was the happiest when he was surrounded by his loving family. If he wasn't on his boat in the middle of Crystal Lake you could find him driving his Jeep with the windows down, Sammy Hagar on the radio, and his two dogs by his side. Brent's successful career in sales was perfectly suited to his gregarious personality and adventurous spirit. He cherished his time coaching Panther basketball and was proud to call Frankfort home, introducing countless people around the world to the wonders of Northern Michigan. Brent had an infectious desire to bring joy to those around him, and will be remembered for his broad smile, kind heart, and deep love for his wife and kids. Brent is survived by wife Melissa Bradley; children Connor (Nicole Wallace) Bradley, Jacob (Madison Ainley) Bradley, and Morgan Bradley, mother Rose Bradley, siblings Kathy Bradley, Steve (Andrea Harig) Bradley, Scott (Nancy) Bradley, Tammy (Steve) Martin, in laws Bruce Hayes, Maria Hayes, brother in law Bruce (Abigail) Hayes Jr, and numerous Nieces and Nephews. A Mass of a Christian burial has already been held on Monday, April 29th. Burial at Crystal Lake Township Cemetery North. Memorial contributions may be directed to Brent Bradley Memorial Fund, care of Frankfort High School, Benzie County Animal Control or Frankfort Lighthouse Preservation. Arrangements by Jowett Family Funeral Home of Benzonia, Mi.

My deepest and very sincere condolences to Melissa, kids, and Brent´s entire loving family. Frankfort was enhanced by his love for the city. It is definitely apparent that he left our world in a better state than when he entered. My heartfelt prayers are with you all.
