Justin Bradley

Justin Keefe Bradley (November 6, 1985 – December 31, 2024) of Crystal Springs, Mississippi, is remembered for his gentle spirit, steady work ethic and deep devotion to family. Born at Hardy Wilson Memorial Hospital, Justin grew up in the Crystal Springs community and attended local schools, completing his education at Ms. Sandy’s Christian School. He worked as an electrician’s helper and was known to those close to him as hard-working and dependable.

Above all, Justin cherished his role as a father. He took great pride in supporting his two sons, Preston Priest and Justin Bradley Jr., and eagerly attended their sporting events to cheer them on. Friends and family recall his quiet warmth: he enjoyed watching movies, listening to rap music, playing video games, and shooting hoops when he could. Those simple pleasures were part of how he connected with loved ones and brightened ordinary days.

Justin is survived by his parents, Tracey Bradley and Donald Bradley; his sons; his siblings Heath Bradley and Heather Brewer (Dago Brewer); the mothers of his children, Tiffany Welch and Kendle Priest; his godmother Maggie Bridges; aunts Cindy Holmes, Trenece Gains, and Charolette Swilley; eight nieces and nephews; and many other family members who treasured him. He was preceded in death by grandmothers Elizabeth Pickering and Bessie Bradley, several aunts, and two uncles.

A memorial service celebrating Justin’s life was held at Springs of Praise Worldwide Outreach Center, where family and friends gathered to honor the kindness and love he shared. Those who knew him remember a man whose care for his children and quiet loyalty to family defined him. May his memory of love and gentle presence bring comfort to all who mourn his loss.
