Ronald David Bradley

Ronald was raised in Lawton, Oklahoma, and graduated from Lawton High School in 1961. He was a supervisor at LeTourneau Inc., where he worked for more than 40 years. In his spare time, Ronald enjoyed gardening, had a great love for his family, and spent time with them.

He enjoyed spending time on the patio and took pride in his home and keeping his yard beautiful. His family and friends will always remember him as a gentle soul, the kind of man who never asked for much, never wanted to burden anyone, and quietly made the world a better place by being in it.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Ethel Marie Bradley; daughters, Tammy Lynn Vercher and Johnnie Mae Dickinson; brother, Bill Bradley; his parents, Ross and Dixie Bradley; sisters, Pat Brand and Dorothy Jones; and brother, Don Bradley.

He is survived by his children: Jeanie Thompson of Palm Coast, Florida; Herb Hawkins of White Oak, Texas; Sonya Dickinson of Joshua Tree, California; Cheryl Evans of Nixa, Missouri; Terry Lowry of Hallsville, Texas; and Tim Hawkins of Alaska. As well as 14 grandchildren, numerous great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.

“Some people leave behind great fortunes, while others leave something far more precious; my grandpa was a gentle, sweet man. He will be missed dearly. We love you, Grandpa.” — Mandy & Lee Thomas
