Jerry Bradshaw

Jerry was surrounded by his children, wife, and loved ones when he went to be with the Lord on Friday, September 22, 2023.

Jerry is survived by his wife of 20 years, Traci Bradshaw; daughter, Shelly Bradshaw and her son, Brian Scott; daughter, Christina Person and husband, Brent, and their children Blake, Celeste and Chelsie; son, Jerry Don Bradshaw Jr. and wife, Robin, and their children Jennifer, Torie, Sierra and Cypher; daughter, Taryn Todd Bradshaw; daughter, Brittany Lenertz and husband, Jeff, and their children Brionna, Ethan, Jason, Khloe and Joshua; son, Curtis Reyes and husband, Adrian; and his great grandchildren, Ian, Eli, Ethan, Quinn and Gus.

Jerry was born in California but made his way to Texas as soon as he could. He dearly loved his children, trains, fishing, and being a Papa to his grandkids most of all. Jerry served in The Coast Guard, being a veteran was very important to him. He was a beloved telephone man until he retired. Jerry loved serving the Lord and gladly held the title of "The Bubblegum Man" at his church. His grandkids say he is now passing out bubblegum to the children in heaven. He had a larger-than-life personality, almost as big as the cowboy hats he wore. He told the best stories.

Friends and family, please join us to celebrate his life on November 11, 2023, at 2:00pm at The Olive Branch Christian Fellowship, 1101 Columbus Avenue Waco Texas, 76701.
