James Keith Bradley

James “Jimi” Keith Bradley, 35, Needmore, PA, passed away August 8, 2023, in Fulton County PA.

Born November 16,1987 in McConnellsburg, PA, he was the son of the late William “Bill” and Kristine “Kris” (Iverson) Bradley.

He was a graduate of Southern Fulton High School, Class of 2006. There he participated in FFA and in the band as a trombone player.

He was an accomplished equestrian. He took riding lessons nearby, helped at the stables and kept his own horse, Tinker. Throughout High School, he also assisted in his family’s small engine repair shop, where he received statewide recognition of his skills by placing 2nd in the District VII SkillsUSA Air Cooled Gas Engine Competition.

He never met an animal he didn’t like, and we never met one that didn’t like him. He loved his dogs, past and present, Harley, Scooby and Diamond, as they were his best companions. He wanted to become a Veterinary Assistant.

He was a very proud uncle, having lived amongst all his nieces and nephews at various times. He adored them and had a unique bond with each of them.

He was a great cook and loved working in that field for many years. He was also an environmentalist, he loved traveling and being outdoors. He had an eye for beauty, in nature and in others. He longed for the wide-open spaces of Montana.

He was a true and loyal friend. He saw the truth in people, and he never let those he loved to forget how much he loved them.

He had a wicked sense of humor and will always be remembered by his sly grin and amazing bear hugs.

He is survived by his sister, Jody Wertz, husband Dean, Needmore, PA; a brother, Jeremy Bradley, wife Cristi Laux, Stowe, VT; four nephews, Henry, Michael, Ashton and Harrison Finn; four nieces, Lillie, Maisie, Mollie and Emma; an aunt, Jeannine (Iverson) Carter, husband Steve, Ojai, CA and an uncle, Edward Bradley, Bellingham, WA.

Our family mourns the tremendous loss of a truly wonderful brother, uncle, nephew, and friend. He will be forever missed.

Services will be held at the convenience of the family.

In lieu of flowers and (glitter), please send any memorial donations to North Country Animal League (NCAL) and Lamoille County, VT Hospice, both of Morrisville, VT, as both organizations were close to his heart.
