Jacob Bryan Bradley

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jacob Bryan Bradley, who left us on March 18, 2025, at the age of 37. Born on August 15, 1987, in Gaston County, NC, Jacob lived a life full of love, kindness, and creativity. Formerly of Dallas, NC, he made his home in Asheville, NC, where he touched countless lives with his warm spirit and generous nature.

Jacob was a passionate friend to many and a devoted son to his mother. Left to cherish Jacob's memories are his mother, Jackie Bradley (Dennis Jones); sister, Jaylin Bradley; maternal grandmother, Kay Roukema; paternal grandmother, Rosemary Woods; aunts, Karen Kirkpatrick (Kevin), Michelle Armstrong (Heath), and Rusti Pagani (Ralph); cousins, Shannon Kirkpatrick and Jennifer Exline.

Jacob was preceded in death by his father, Jason Bradley; grandfather, Ron Roukema; great grandmother, Thelma "Granny" Rayfield; cousin, Laura Fortenberry.

His interests were as vibrant as his personality. He loved scouring thrift stores for hidden gems, pouring his heart into arts and crafts, nurturing plants, and enjoying the rhythm of music. Above all, he was a caring soul who always found ways to give back to those in need.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at Greene Funeral Service South Chapel, 1503 S. York Rd. Gastonia, NC 28054, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, where friends and family can gather to celebrate his life and share their cherished memories.

Jacob's kindness, creativity, sense of humor, and love for life will be deeply missed, but his spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
