My dear King,
Two years today, I can’t believe it. I miss you so much. I’m so thankful to God for our  wonderful 35 years of marriage and those fun college days at Memphis State. I will always love and cherish our life together.❤️❤️Feb 19, 1987- Nov 4, 2022

Your wife,
Rhonda

One of the many times Gerard and Rhonda showed me their love and support

Gerard, I will never forget this date.
 Not only was I hired on at Fedex, but it's also the day that God called you home to be with him.
 My thoughts and prayers go out to Rhonda and all your family and friends who love you and miss you. You were like a brother to me and your kindness towards me and others spoke volumes.

Gerard- This is so hard. Your birthday last month. And now today It is six years with the passing of Mom.  You are  not here anymore with me in the flesh but you are here in the spirit. I’m just devastated. I miss you so much. My love, my light, my forever!❤️❤️
Rhonda

I apologize, as of today Im just hearing about Gerard...we were walk- on teammates at Memphis State (footbal). We shared some great times together training, studying, and partying. My heart is crushed, rest easy "Hot Rod "!
Sincerely 
Jack (Da Giggalo) Johnson

Hello G, this is your friend SueQ. What can I say that haven’t been said. We all miss you so much, our hearts hurt for Rhonda. You are/were the love of her life.you left us all with your sense of humor and kept us laughing, you are the guy that could make anything funny. The same with everyone. Apparently you are truly one of God’s chosen. You impacted so many people that only has good to say about you. You will continue to be missed and always loved. Until we meet again.  SUEQ

Gerard and I took this picture in 1981 when we were dating at Memphis State University. He always carried this picture in his wallet. A few years ago we were chatting about the old days and he pulled out the photo album and started reminiscing—-as we all know he would do. 
I asked him why did he still carry that old photo of us. He did not response  but instead texted me the photo with his answer. He was the best classmate, friend, lover and husband to me.  Until we are together again.❤️
Rhonda

We are spiritual beings having a temporary physical experience. Our bodies are merely uniforms, coverings we don for our work here on Earth. When we've finished our duties, we get to shed that old, worn out layer and move into true freedom.

The heartbreak of your sudden passing is lessened by our deep-seated belief that you are finally, deservedly and eternally free. May the ancestors welcome you with open arms and these words: "Gerard, our son, job well done". 

Love,
Rashunda + Morten

Gerard Bradley! One of  Memphis Hamilton High School’s finest athletes!

We can’t believe it’s been a year but in our hearts it feels like yesterday. It’s not a day that goes by that we don’t think of you or laugh at one of your funny sayings. We cherish your memories and will .love and miss you forever . Kenneth/Tessa Lilly and family

This past week and month was extremely hard. You always celebrated my birthday in the “Gerard” fashion… whatever you think you want RB is yours. I miss you immensely, but we know God makes no mistakes. ❤️

Gerard, I miss you so much. Although we know this earth is not our home, I just never imagined going through this chapter in my life so soon. There was not a day that we didn’t laugh about something. Forty years together from Memphis State to Houston, TX and you never stopped making sure I had whatever I even thought I wanted. As you often would say and tell everyone, “ My beautiful queen, Rhonda.” I thank God for you, “my king” . My heart hurts. I miss your presence and I feel your spirit of protection and love.  Till we meet again. ❤️ Your Wife, Rhonda 

my good friend and Fedex buddy Grerard much luvv from Htown, gonna miss talking to you and texting on the Holidays....i know you cruising in that Corvette in the sky's......  Chubb

Rest In Peace my MTSU teammate and Quad mate. 

Greg Deathridge 

I'm so saddened to hear of the passing of my MTSU Blue Raider football teammate. Praying for the family. Rest in Heaven #23, my Brother. You will be truly missed. ❤✝️

I was sad to hear about my friend, HotRod, that was a nickname when he played football, I remember when we had a 2 man basketball team in his backyard, and we went 32 - 0, and we'll still talk about that when we talked, I'm going to miss my friend dearly, but, I thank GOD for letting us to become friends for 50 years,  GOD has a special task for Gerald in HEAVEN, so take your rest my friend until we meet again some day, love you too my friend  !!  🙏
