Mr. Jones saw the world from a different view. He always had a positive perspective and saw things not for what they were, but for what they could be. He was mesmerized by nature and the awe of the simplest things like the sunset. He saw the beauty in the world and in others. He loved to travel, and he especially loved music. Those two usually intertwined as music festivals were some of his favorite events to attend. He would listen to music repeatedly, so he could learn the chords and play his guitar along with a song. Photography was also a keen interest, and Bradley studied the different types of cameras and lenses. He was especially fascinated with older cameras and the styles of pictures they produced.

Bradley loved baseball and started playing as a child. He loved the sport and especially loved the MLB. His team was the Chicago Cubs and he was a very proud fan. He was drawn to everyone coming together to cheer them on. Watching games together was one of his favorite things. He was intelligent and full of wit. Many things that interested him were self-taught and he strived to become an expert. He loved technology and computer software. He liked to tinker with things and would take them apart just to put them back together, even as a young child. He was always eager to learn and willing to teach anyone what he learned. His selfless personality was a magnet for others. He loved his friends and family very much and was special to so many.

Strong willed and opinionated, Bradley was a force to be reckoned with. He loved fiercely and unapologetically. Anyone that knew him never questioned his love for them, as he would go out of his way to show them regularly. Bradley will be missed immensely and was loved by so many. Above all, he was a caring person that valued his relationships with family and friends.
