Eric Ahmad Bradley graced the world with his presence on January 17, 1977 and bid us all farewell on September 4, 2020.
Eric attended Pass Christian High School in Pass Christian, MS. He continued his education at Chris's Beauty College and became a licensed barber in 1999.
A clever, gregarious, and engaging person, Eric loved being around people. He was a master at "janking", and the world's best storyteller. His spirit was reflected in his smile, a permanent Cheshire grin from time he was a toddler, which those close to him knew that there was an inside joke brewing.
He never met a stranger and wore his emotions on his sleeve. If he loved you, he loved you with every bit of soul. He spoke plainly and was fiercely protective.
A doting father and brother, favorite uncle, cousin, son, and friend. Eric leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and light.
He has left to remember him his parents, Otis and Anne Bradley Jr. of Gulfport, MS. A grandmother, Doris Bradley of Pass Christian, MS. Two beautiful daughters, Jada A. Bradley and Krystal E. Bradley, both of Gulfport, MS.
He has left to smile every time they think of him, two brothers, Deon (Waleska) Harris and Dywayne Harris both of Miami, Fl.; and his sister, Netalia (Ricardo) Bradley-Anderson of Lafayette, LA. His three nieces and four nephews who considered him their favorite uncle also share his laughter and memories.
Five aunts, Amanda (Dana) Heflin-Minter of Gulfport, MS; Mary Robinson and Gaynell Bradley of Pass Christian, MS; Selinda Bradley, and Joy (David) Walker of Jacksonville, Fl., also survive him. He is also survived by nine uncles, John Harris, Arter Harris, and Christopher Clark all of Miami, Fl. John Clark Jr. of Savannah, GA.; Karon (Linda) Bradley of Pass Christian, MS; Wayne (Debra) Bradley of Gulfport, MS; Eric (Dena) Bradley of Houston, TX; Bruce (Cheryl) Bradley of Jacksonville, Fl; and Kirk Bradley of Pass Christian, MS.
He is preceded in death by his sweet, adorable sons Ahmad and Eric Bradley Jr.; his grandparents John and Lucille Clark; his grandfather Otis Bradley Sr.; his uncle George Bradley; and his cousin Krystal E. Heflin.
Eric also leaves behind a host family and friends across the country.
