In Memory
Milton Bradley
It is with saddened hearts that we inform
you, Milton Dale Bradley went home to Jesus unexpectedly but peacefully at home
in Airdrie, Alberta on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 at the age of 76.
Milton was predeceased by his father Harold Melvin Bradley and mother Blythe
Marthada Bradley (nee Upshaw).
Milton is lovingly remembered by his wife Barbara Jane Bradley (nee Dewitt);
sons Blain (Taush) and Byron (Charmaine); and the joys of his life, his three
grandchildren, Addison, Ethan and Kale. Milton is survived by his sister
Marilyn (Gilles) Pharand, Merle (Arlene) Bradley and Maureen (Bob) Anderson.
Milton was born in Edmonton, Alberta on May 22, 1947 growing up on a farm near
Caroline, Alberta. Milton and Barbara met at a youth event at church in 1962
and were later married in Calgary on August 30, 1969.
Milton was an entrepreneur opening several businesses throughout his life. He
was an active member of the Church of the Nazarene and would be found either
leading worship or welcoming everyone into the church. He cared most about his
faith in God, his beautiful family and showing love and hospitality in each
community that he lived in across Alberta and Arizona.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, September 29, 2023 at 10 a.m. at the
Town and Country Centre, 275 Jensen Drive NE, Airdrie, AB.
That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has
heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9
"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar
on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not
be faint." Isaiah 40:31
Milton’s family would like to extend our gratitude to Airdrie EMS, Airdrie Fire
and the emergency team at Peter Lougheed Centre who diligently worked with such
care and concern.

Milton has a voice that stands out in the crowd. He has a story he likes to tell: One time while connecting a flight in an unlikely city in the US, he was talking to someone while using a urinal. Before long, someone called out from a toilet: "Milton Bradley, is that you?" I can still hear Milton voice in my mind.
I always admired Milton's positive attitude, sense of responsibility, his entrepreneurial spirit, never afraid to get his hands dirty with any kind of work, and with a ready hand to help others. He is the kind of man who, if living in the days of our early pioneers, you would want to be your neighbor.
In a way, Milton is still helping others: the Mustard Seed looks like an excellent charity that helps our close neighbors.
So long, Milton.
