Bradley Tucker

Bradley Marcus Tucker made quite the entrance into this world on March 13, 1993.  Born to Marcus and Grenelda Tucker in Atlanta, Georgia - during the “1993 Storm of the Century,” there was something undeniably special about him from the very beginning.  He was such a handsome baby and even won a local beautiful baby contest.

When he was two and a half, Bradley’s family moved to Southern California, where he grew up.  A self-proclaimed “California Boy,” he loved the water, skateboarding and outdoor activities.  Bradley grew up in a family of faith and at the age of 6, was born again and approached his Mom, telling her he wanted to be water baptized.

His family moved to North Carolina when he was 13 years old and he graduated from Western Guilford High School in 2011.  He then decided to return to California to attend Santa Monica College to knock out his basic courses (and save some money; if you knew Bradley, you know how frugal he was) while he determined the next course of action for his life.  In 2014, he relocated to Greenville, SC where his Mom was living and he began moving forward from there.

He enjoyed cooking so he attended Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts School.  He loved traveling, fishing, playing the congas in his Dad’s drum circle, while yet enjoying being at home watching a good movie.  He was an avid high end watch collector and knew about each timepiece to the fullest.

Bradley was quite the intellect, whose favorite subjects in school were Science and Math and had no issue “holding his own” when the subject of politics arose.  He was a hard worker who took his Dad’s advice and whatever he set his mind to do, he did it in the spirit of excellence.

If you knew Bradley, you knew he was stylish and loved fine colognes.  He had an infectious smile and the sun shined brighter when he had one of his hearty laughs!  At his core, Bradley possessed a gentleness of heart.  He was very laid back and easy going was his manner.  Yet he was very protective of his mother.

In his final months, Bradley served as a foster parent and found a sense of purpose and joy in doing so.  He had a heart of gold!
