Marland Bradley

Marland Bradley Jr. (September 6, 1996 – January 24, 2020) is remembered as a young man whose life mattered deeply to those who knew him. Born in 1996, Marland grew up in San Bernardino and was a familiar face in his neighborhood. He brought warmth and company to everyday moments — simple, steady presences that made home and community feel closer.

Marland’s life touched people in small, meaningful ways. He appreciated the ordinary rhythms of family and neighborhood life, and those who knew him recall his laugh, his smile, and the easy way he found connection with others. Though public records of his work or activities are limited, friends and loved ones left messages describing him as loving and much missed, reflecting the bonds he formed in his community.

On January 24, 2020, Marland was taken from his family and friends. He was 23 years old. In the days since his passing, neighbors and community members have shared memories, photos, and condolences that speak to the place he held in their lives. Services were being handled by Montecito Memorial Park and Mortuary; at the time of the public notice no services were scheduled.

Marland’s life is remembered not by headlines but by the people who carry his memory forward. Those who loved him remember a son, a friend, and a neighbor whose presence mattered. May his family find comfort in the memories they shared and in the continued care of a community that remembers him with respect and tenderness.
