James C. Bradshaw Sr.

James was born on March 22, 1945 in Leon, Kentucky. He was the son of James and Madgeline (Fuller) Bradshaw. James loved taking care of his family as they were his number one priority. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. You could often find James in his garage working on his cars or the cars of other people. He was proud of his 1965 Ford truck that he restored. James was a man that loved to be busy, in the winter he plowed snow and in the summer he enjoyed mowing his grass. He loved riding on his motorcycles and going to turkey shoots.

He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Donna Sue (Cook) Bradshaw; his children, Teresa Wilson, Allan Heintz, James (Libby) Bradshaw Jr., and Jill Bradshaw; his grandchildren, Nick Konves, Joshua Longood, Brandi Longood, Katelyn Bradshaw, Brooke Peller, Alex Heintz, and Crue Bradshaw; great-grandchildren, Cace Carson and Ellie Peller; his brothers, Danny (Maggie) Bradshaw and Raymond "Mick" Bradshaw; his sisters, Mary (Donald) Ogle and Ruth Turner; his sister-in-law, Rosalee Bradshaw; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; his granddaughter, Payton Jones; his brothers, Larry Bradshaw, Russell "Woody" Bradshaw, and Terry Bradshaw; and his sister and brother-in-law, Phyllis and Raymond Hamilton.

The family wishes to thank all of their friends who have sent prayers, food, and helped during this difficult time. A special thank you to his best friends, Dickie Carver and Paul Mills, who were always by his side, helping him out along the way and throughout his life.

The family will observe private services. The Wappner Cremation Center if honored to serve the Bradshaw family.
