Martin Cedric Bradley

Martin Cedric Bradley, born on July 22, 1963, in Vero Beach, Florida, was called home on April 20, 2026. He leaves behind an inspiring legacy as a devoted husband, father, brother, and friend, celebrated for his unwavering dedication to family and community.

A proud graduate of Vero Beach High School, Class of 1981, Martin embodied hard work and creativity throughout his life. He was not only a skilled horticulturist who founded M&M Lawn Services in 1985, serving the towns of Sebastian, Wabasso, Vero Beach, and Fort Pierce, but also a man driven by a deep spiritual calling. For 24 years, he served as a pastor at B.I.C Ministries in Vero Beach, where his loving spirit and generous nature touched countless lives.

Martin was known for his sense of humor, often cracking a few of his corny dad jokes, and his deep love for fishing, family trips, and music, which he expressed through singing and playing various instruments. He was a loving husband to Monica of 35 years, and a proud father to Shandilene, Ashley, and Marcia. Although he faced the heart-wrenching loss of his daughter, Michelle, he remained a beacon of strength for his family.

He is survived by his loving wife, Monica; daughters Shandilene, Ashley and her four beautiful children, Marcia, and many wonderful God-Children; his father, James Bradley Sr.; and siblings including James Jr. (Stephanie), Bennett (Kim), and his sister, Janet Harris (Quinn). He was preceded in death by his mother, Martha-Nell Bradley, and his brother, Daniel.

A memorial service to celebrate Martin's remarkable life was held on April 25th at 10:30 AM at Tabernacle Ministries, located at 51 Old Dixie Hwy, Vero Beach, FL. Martin Cedric Bradley’s memory will forever inspire those he touched, reminding us of the power of love, generosity, and the joy of sharing life’s moments with family and friends.
