WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at
the death of Benjamin Palmer Bradley of Gladewater, who passed away
on February 6, 2011, at the age of 24; and
WHEREAS, A native of Prescott, Arizona, Ben Bradley was born
on January 7, 1987, to loving parents Alton and Lind Bradley; he was

loved ones, whose lives he brightened with his generous heart and
abiding Christian faith; and

and later enjoyed participation in the ALERT Eagle Response Unit

at Tyler, where he was a staff member of the Patriot Talon; he also
shared his time to benefit the youth of Kids Reach and was active in
the congregation at Calvary Baptist Church; and

brief, memories of this caring Texan will forever endure in the
hearts of those who were privileged to share in his love and
affection; now, therefore, be it
