Obituary for Lance M Bradford
Lance Bradford was born on January 14, 1979 to proud parents Arthur and Mattie Bradford in Chicago, Illinois. His birth was a memorable one in that Chicago was in the midst of the now historical, “1979 Chicago Blizzard.”
He accepted Christ at an early age as he was Christened and served on the Junior Usher Board at South Park Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Dr. E. R. Williams Sr. He later joined True Right Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. W. J. Murphy in 1997.
Lance attended and graduated from Robert A. Black Magnet School and Hyde Park Career Academy High School. He was employed as a Security Guard for Titan Security for 14 years.
Lance was very independent. He loved his parents dearly and never wanted them to worry about him. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He always had a big smile and hug for his aunts and uncle. Lance was considered a, ‘little brother,’ to his older cousins, and a, ‘big brother,’ to his younger cousins. To his close friends, he was known for his humor, uniqueness, and being the epitome of a true friend. He enjoyed old school Hip-Hop music, designer urban wear clothing, fine cologne, and Air Jordans.
Lance departed this life on Monday May 17, 2021. He is survived by his loving and devoted parents: Arthur and Mattie; one great aunt: Alice Patterson from Alabama; 5 aunts: Nancy, Shirley Ann, Judy, and Lela; one uncle: Sammie; a host of supportive cousins; loyal friends including his earthly guardian angel, Tigee; and beloved, “Godchildren,”:Delvia, Braylon, and Janay.
