He attended McCarver Elementary School, he also attended Stadium High School. His great saying is You’re not from the HILLTOP if you don’t know Mobile One, for always having something to say. A lot of times, they made a lot of sense. He loves his music so much that he plays the guitar and the organ. Always singing and writing music, he knew his music. He played in a band called the Soft Touch in the 70s. You may see him carrying his instrument, whether it’s an organ or guitar, with him. No matter where he went, he would sing and play, he would strike up a band. he leaves behind two sisters, Rose BRADLEY and YOKO Roberson, his nephews OMAR BRADLEY and Jontez BRADLEY, his nieces Nifateus Bradley and I’eanna Bradley. Also, he has a host of cousins in New York City, and NANCY BRADLEY Jackson, Mississippi. He is playing in heaven now, and he left with a smile on his face. He had a saying for cookie, which is ROSA‘s dog I'm not a lollipop. he will he will be greatly missed by friends and family! The memorial service will be at the central church of Christ, 1402 S. L St., TACOMA, WA 98405. Service will be on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at 11 am by Minister ELLIS McDaniel.
