BRADLEY’S SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND LEGACY

Bradley rededicated his life to the Lord in 2021 He shared with his family the life changing experience it was the moment he made the commitment He loved the Lord and placed his faith and trust in Jesus Christ. He was a faithful member of Believers Embassy International and attended church services regularly. He became an involved member in church groups such as the Dynamic Kingsmen and the Events Planning Committee. His family and church family watched the Lord transform Bradley right before their very eyes into a man who loved and yearned after God. Bradley enjoyed reading his Bible and shared with excitement things that he had begun to learn in his bible studies.

He had a desire for his children to learn memory verses and get to know the Lord at an early age because of how fulfilling it had become for him. He was described as one who would be in his own world as he worshipped and served the Lord passionately and unapologetically. He testified of how much he loved the man he had become since his pursuit of a deeper relationship with God. His transformation and spiritual growth in the last year of his life will forever be etched in the minds and hearts of all who bore witness as truly a testament of the goodness, grace and love of God! Indeed, this is a powerful legacy to leave behind for his beautiful children, family and loved ones to celebrate! He penned these beautiful words before he went home to be with His King:

“God healed my broken heart God healed me from drug addiction! He allowed the Holy Spirit to visit me and that’s the only high I love; He gave me a fresh start and a new beginning! I have never been happier Everything I lost, He replaced with better Everything I asked, He gave He removed and revealed every fake friend My eyes are now open I read my bible and He teaches me He loves me He accepts me He cleansed me and restored me One verse wiped away my temper Prove 25:28 He made my enemies blind to me. They saw me and didn’t see. He covered me. I was lost and God found me! He vindicated me from all my trials and tribulations. He transformed me from a “Real G” to a Real Man of God! Hallelujah Jesus!!!!”

CONGREGATIONAL HYMN | “How Great Thou Art”

Oh Lord, my God

When I, in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed

And when I think that God, His Son not sparing Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin

Chorus: Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow, in humble adoration And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art

CLOSING | “When We All Get To Heaven”

Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, Sing His mercy and His grace; In the mansions bright and blessed He'll prepare for us a place

While we walk the pilgrim pathway, Clouds will overspread the sky; But when trav'ling days are over, Not a shadow, not a sigh.

Chorus: When we all get to Heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the victory!

Let us then be true and faithful, Trusting, serving every day; Just one glimpse of Him in glory Will the toils of life repay.

Onward to the prize before us! Soon His beauty we'll behold; Soon the pearly gates will open; We shall tread the streets of gold.

SONG | “It is Finished”

There’s a line that is drawn through the ages

On that line stands an old rugged dross

On that cross a battle is raging

To gain a man's soul or it’s loss

Chorus: It is finished, the battle is over

It is finished, there’ll be no more war

It is finished, the end of the conflict It is finished, and Jesus is Lord.

On one side marks the forces of evil All the demons and all the devils of hell

On the other the angels of glory And they meet on Golgotha’s hill

PRAYER | Minister

COMMITTAL | Prophet Stephen Munroe

SONG | “Glad Reunion Day”

The earth shakes with the force of the conflict

And the sun refuses to shine

For there hangs God’s Son in the balance And then through the darkness He cries

There will be a happy meeting in Heaven, I know When we see the many loved ones we’ve known here below Gathered on that blessed hilltop with hearts all aglow That will be a glad reunion day

Chorus: A glad day, a wonderful day, A glad day, a glorious day.

There with all the holy angels and loved ones to stay That will be a glad reunion day

When we live a million years in that wonderful place, Basking in the love of Jesus, beholding His face. It will seem but just a moment of praising His grace That will be a glad reunion day.

Tributes

Daddy, you were our biggest fan and our greatest role model Your personality was one of the things we loved the most about you. You knew a lot of stuff and taught us how to read and write You made sure we had good manners and were respectful to others. We could call you at any time and you always had a solution to our problems You were so brave and strong You took us to church and made sure we knew how important it was to keep God first in our lives. You wanted us to learn memory verses and get to know the Lord You taught us to always look out for each other and to take care of one another. You made sure we knew how much you loved us Daddy, we wish we could have just one more day with you. We will make sure that we make you proud! We miss you and we love you

One of the greatest treasures that I have ever known is having a special son and watching each step as he grows. To be a part of all of his hopes and dreams and feel that sense of pride in watching him achieve so much in everything he tried. Each memory grows more and more precious as the days are passing by. That’s the treasure you have brought me that wealth could never buy Words will never fully express, and thoughts will never fully convey the meaning my dearest son that you bought to me every day.

Bj, my heart broke when I found out that I would no longer see your handsome face or hear your voice. And through the pain of losing you, my heart is filled with hope and love. Yes, you have left me in person, but you also left me with three times more of you in Bradecio, Bhakhari and Branae. I give God thanks and praise for all the years I had to love and build memories with you my loving son. I hold on to the hope that I will see you again and I will honor your life. I am forever grateful for these three wonderful gifts you have given me.

A Tribute

From Your Father and Stepmom

I truly was not ready for you to leave this earth so soon; I miss you so much and it hurts so deep inside. You were taken from me so suddenly and in a very sad way, which makes me wish that this was all a dream. Three weeks before your death we had a great father son, man to man time together. We hung out and had lots of laughs, not knowing that this would be our last face to face conversation. You shared so much with me. You had high hopes for a brighter future with your 3 children. You asked God to make you a better man, and He did that. You surrendered your heart and life to Jesus Christ and tried to live the life that was pleasing in His sight. But now it’s obvious that God had other plans. The Master was holding the blueprint to your destiny in His hands, and He wanted you all for Himself. You were a special son and big brother. I will treasure the memories and try not to be sad, knowing that I was blessed to have a son like you, my first born.

BJ, you will forever be a part of us Even though you are gone your memories will always linger on in our hearts You will be missed by those you have touched and impacted We give God thanks and praise for the 33 years that He loaned you to us. You loved your family and loved the Lord even more. Our hearts are comforted knowing that you are looking down on us now healed, joyful, whole, and waiting to see us again one sweet day.

As you take your final rest, we make a promise from this day on, that we will never forget you. A light has been put out on this side and though our world is now not so bright; we are confident that your light is shining even brighter on the other side. So, until we meet again around God’s throne, we will always love you endlessly

We will see you when we get to heaven.

A Tribute To

Bro, I can’t believe I’m writing a tribute to you, preparing to say goodbye to you one final time. All of my life, one thing remained constant, and that was that I had you! You took your role as big brother seriously No matter what happened, you were there to make me laugh, encourage me, and pray for . You were the best brother I could have ever hoped or asked for I wanted to do everything you did because I wanted to be just like you. You were my best friend. I used to follow you wherever you went From the time was born, until the day you died, I wanted to make you proud of me, tell you what was happening in my life and get your advice. You were my protector, my hero So many memories are flooding my mind. Like the time were out riding our bikes together when tire blew out on us, and we had to ride all way home wobbling We laughed until our stomachs hurt that night. Bro, you embodied everything that is good and bright in this world It is a little bit dimmer now that you’re gone You were remarkable in so many ways You were an amazing father to my nephews and niece. You lived your life to the fullest and touched so many people during your time here with us. I wish every moment that I had more time with you, but God saw fit to call you home. I will love you always and will ensure that Decio, Khari, and Gem are well taken care of and know how wonderful you were. Until we meet again. I love you!

Thank you, big brother, for coming to look for us last year The first thing you said when you saw us was, “Looka my brothers! Brandon you taller than me dread, and full of muscles! You is lift weights aye?” Then you said to Bryan, “Looka my baby brother! You so short and fat, you eating all the food hey? You couldn’t stop laughing Your smile lit up the entire room as you gave us a big hug as if you didn’t want to let us go. You said that we will be seeing a lot of you, but God had other plans. If we had one wish, it would be for you to come back to us. It was cool to know that we had a big brother who we could hang out with in years to come You will always be our big brother B J We will not say bye but see you later we love and miss you so much.

Day by Day we think of you, how can all of this be true? We can’t believe you’re really gone Just thinking of you makes us cry, we never even got the chance to say goodbye. We may have not been related by blood, but we grew up together from little kids to young adults and you loved us just as a blood brother should You were our big brother and we loved you like no other. We will always treasure the memories and the fun times that we had growing up. Thanks for the times we shared together, and we will always remember what you told us, that family is important. You will always be in our hearts bro
