Bryan Bradfield Obituary
Bryan was born in Mishawaka on May 6, 1945 to the late Virgil and Catherine (Burkett) Bradfield.
After High School, Bryan proudly served his country in the United States Navy- serving in Vietnam as a "store clerk" and being subjected to Agent Orange.
Bryan married Penny Fraschetti on July 31, 1999, sharing 25 years of marriage and a beautifully blended family.
Bryan was a 50+ year member of the Kilwinning Lodge 149, and was self employed for 55 years in the advertising industry, affectionately known as the "calendar man or the pen guy." He was an award winning calendar salesman for many years. To dedicate as much time as he could to his family, he spent 5 years on dialysis where he made lasting friendships.
Bryan is survived by his wife, Penny Bradfield, 7 children, including Brittany (Jess) Bradfield and a special daughter Tawana (Chad) Robertson. Deeply missed by many grandchildren; especially the relationships with Aubs(Kevin), Lyssa (Masen), Shi, "little" Kevin, Miranda, Kenzie, Nat, Nick, Nova, JJ "little dude", Autumn, Isaiah, Ky, and CJ, as well as his great grandson, Matt 2. His siblings Sheryl and Bob also survive.
Bryan was preceded in death by his parents and other siblings.
