Johnny McKinley Bradley

Johnny McKinley Bradley, age 72, bona fide Bigfoot enthusiast and paterfamilias of the Bradley clan from Mare Creek, passed away from this life on December 14, 2022, at Pikeville Medical Center.  

Born August 16, 1950, Johnny was the loving son of the late Sol and Mabel Fugitt Bradley of Louisa and Betsy Layne.  His daddy was his lifelong hero and he never once departed his mother’s company without kissing her forehead and saying aloud, “I love my mommy.”

Johnny was preceded in death by the love of his life and wife of 48 years, Debbie, for whom he could not live without.   

He is survived by his two daughters; Breann and Brandis, two granddaughters; Lakynn and Ryleigh, and four grandpups; Baby Brother, Britney Jean (Pappy’s Pooch), Roxanne, and Bear (that darn duck-dog).  He was preceded in death by his furchild, Chelly Lynn, and his firstborn grandpup, Trubby Dawn Thomas.   

Johnny is also survived by his sister, Debbie Hunt (Jack), and one brother, Gomer Bradley.  He was preceded in death by two brothers, Jackie Bradley and Homer Bradley.  

Johnny was a member of Boldman Freewill Baptist Church, then later, New Beginnings Fellowship Church.  He was a good man and a world-class Pappy, so long as he was not assembling or servicing a waterbed.       

Funeral services will be conducted Monday, December 19, 2022 at 1:00pm in the Hall Funeral Home Chapel with Jared Arnett officiating.  Burial will follow in the Davidson Memorial Gardens, Ivel, KY.  Visitation is from 10:00am until 1:00pm on Monday, immediately prior to funeral services and under the direction of the Hall Funeral Home, Martin, Kentucky.
