David Bradley, 33, passed away on November 14, 2020. He was born on May 24, 1987 in Conway, Arkansas to Danny and Becky (Riley) Bradley. He was the husband of Keleigh (Reiss) Bradley for 10 1/2 years.
David was an avid Razorback and Cardinals fan. He excelled in athletics and began playing sports at a young age which continued throughout high school at Greenbrier High School. After graduation, he attended the U of A and graduated in 2013 with a degree in Kinesiology and then went on to receive his Master’s degree in special education.
David was a very special person with many talents. He was a natural people person and was able to bring a smile to every face he met. David had a natural infectious smile and a radiant personality. Without fail, at the end of every single school year, he would receive emails or letters from grateful parents of students whose lives he had touched in so many meaningful ways. He loved playing pranks and joking around with those he adored. He was an excellent special and general education teacher, and he also fulfilled his dream of coaching football. David coached the 9th grade football team at BHS, and also at Lincoln Jr. High, until 2019 when he was no longer able to due to his illness.
David was an all-around country boy who loved to hunt, be in the outdoors, float, and anything else that got him outside. Additionally, he travelled world-wide with his wife, Keleigh, and was able to experience amazing adventures in exotic places. Although he loved being at home and did not particularly enjoy flying on planes, he did love planning the trips and thoroughly enjoyed the experiences once he arrived at his destinations.
His beautiful smile, quick wit, and playful demeanor will live in our hearts forever. While David was physically a tower of strength, he exuded a level of grace, patience, and quiet guidance that motivated all that knew him. David was everyone’s rock in a sea of storm. He will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
