David Bradford

David "Yup Yup" M. Bradford, age 63, of Sheboygan, died unexpectedly Thursday morning, October 16, 2014 at his home with his loving fiancée, Rosie, at his side. He was born March 1, 1951 in Sheboygan to William and Marjorie (Vogds) Bradford. He attended local area schools and for many years was employed as a mechanic and salesman with his good friend, Vic Jeanty at Select Auto Sales. Dave enjoyed fishing with his family and friends, playing online poker daily, and tending to his goldfish pond. After his retirement he would spend every day with his brothers at Midstate Auto Body doing mechanical work. He was a true Green Bay Packer fan and never missed a game which he watched with all his friends at JB's Silver Dollar Tavern owned by his good friend, Jim Butzen. He always helped everyone if he could and will be missed by everyone that knew him. He is survived by his fiancée, Rosie Klein of Sheboygan; two daughters, Michelle (Joe) Hochrein, and Julie (Bill) Schroeder all of DePere; seven grandchildren, Nathan (Emily) Hochrein, Luke Hochrein, Simon Hochrein, Katelyn Schroeder, Calvin Schroeder, Owen Schroeder, and Emma Schroeder; three brothers, James (Donna) Bradford , Patrick Bradford all of Sheboygan, and Jeffrey (Sylvia) Bradford of Sheboygan Falls; his two sisters, Kay (Lupe) Rodriguez of Beaumont, TX and Janis Brown of Paradise, CA; his special Godson and nephew, Kenny (Brooke) Rodriguez of Texas; and other relatives and friends. In addition to his parents, William and Marjorie Bradford, Sr., he was preceded in death by his brother, William Bradford, Jr. and three infant children, twin sons, Michael and Mark, and a daughter, Kelly. Funeral services will be held Saturday, October, 25, 2014 at 12:00 noon at Ballhorn Funeral Chapels and Cremation Care Center. Rev. Daniel J. Lasecki, Senior Priest, will officiate. A time of visitation and support will be held from 10:00 a.m. until the time of service.

A memorial fund has been established in his name. We did not get a chance to say good bye, your passing to us seems like a lie. Our family was not ready for this, but now you're in eternal bliss. We will come together, you will see, just the way you wanted us to be. A brother, a sister, a family of one, a Bradford story you can't overcome. By Jamie Bradford
