Staff Sgt. Kenneth R. Bradley led the soldier’s life in the military. But long before then, he was known for his music.
“He was left-handed, he blew the trumpet and played the guitar,” said Cleveland Washington of Jackson, Miss., Bradley’s first cousin. “He always liked music and was always in a band.”
Bradley died of a heart attack May 28 in Iraq. Stationed at Fort Hood and a 19-year Army veteran, he is survived by his wife, Claudia Bradley, son, Bryan Bradley, and stepdaughter, Sandra Coleman.
