Joe Mark Bradley

Joe Mark Bradley, 65, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday,
January 21, 2021. Joe was born July 6, 1955 at Blount Memorial Hospital, Maryville. Born into an Airforce family, he spent most of his early life living in France and Arizona, and in 1969 at age 14 moved back to Maryville. Joe was a member of East Maryville Baptist Church. After working at ALCOA for 30 years, he retired in April 2005. Even though Joe was stricken with Multiple Sclerosis in 1988, his journey with the disease was not only courageous but inspiring. Not to let the disease rule him, he enjoyed all sports particularly NASCAR, camping, and traveling.

He was preceded in death by his parents Luke Calloway Bradley, Jr. and Sallie Cordelia Mobley Bradley; brother James Michael “Mike” Bradley; grandparents John Smith Mobley and Mary Ella Mickle Mobley and Luke Calloway Bradley, Sr. and Amanda Rains Bradley; special uncle John (Jack) Smith Mobley.

Stepmother Allegra “Lee” Bradley of Alcoa.
