On June 18, 1986, Our Heavenly Father blessed upon Annie Bradley an angel we came to know and love as Carl Anthony Bradley. The Lord came and collected His Angel on Saturday May 22, 2010. At an early age, Carl accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and became a member of Piney Grove Baptist Church.

His mother Annie knew she had something special the first moment she looked into his eyes. That spark she saw in his eyes was spotted by each and everyone he came in contact with. Carl was a loving son, husband, father, brother and friend. What the heart once owned it shall never lose.

Carl graduated from Northwest Halifax High School in Roanoke Rapids in 2004. Determined to make a difference he joined the United States Air Force, He earned the rank of Senior Airman and held proudly until God called him home.

Carl was preceded in death by his grandparents John and Carol Bradley, an Uncle Melvin Bradley, and a cousin Charlie Bradley.

Left to cherish his memories are: his mother Annie Bradley (Mel) of Lawrenceville, Va. His wife Rashonda Bradley and/son Anthony Bradley both of the home. Four brothers George (Krystal) Bradley of Roanoke Rapids, NC, Quentin (Rodeshia) Bradley and Michael (Elana) Williams both of Enfield, NC, Quentin (Teresa) McGee of Norfolk, VA. One sister Litisha (Willis) Bradley-Barnes of Enfield, NC. His father-in-law and mother-in-law Alvin and Joyce Hardy, one sister-in-law Janel Hardy all of Roanoke Rapids, NC. A special nephew Javonte' Bradley and Cousin Charvez Bradley. Godmother Patrica Thornton. Special friend Robert Holmes and Lisa Arrington. His dog Sam. Eleven nieces and nephews, three Aunts, two Uncles, a military family, a host of cousins, other relatives and friends.

Condolences are welcomed!
