Jonas "Edwin" Bradley was born September 22, 1940 to Miranda (McKee) and Mary Ollie Bradley in Ardmore, OK. He passed from this life on June 26, 2023 at the age of 82.

Edwin was raised in Marietta, OK where he attended public school. On August 5, 1959 he married Frances Miles in Phenix City, AL. From this marriage they had five children, Carolyn, Donna, Charles Edwin, Norman Wayne, and Peggy. Edwin enrolled at the Southern Oklahoma Technology Center where he earned his credentials in Machine Technology. He opened and operated Bradley Welding and Machine shop for over 40 years. He was the one person who customers often said, "If Ed can't fix it, nobody can."

Edwin had a passion for restoration and believed he could fix nearly everything, and proved his skill time and time again. Customers from as far away as Dallas and Oklahoma City would seek his expertise because they couldn't find anyone else to fix their difficult job. A few of his projects include dune buggies, motor homes, and wooden boats and, of course, his antique tractors. He was an active member of the Oklahoma Antique Tractor Club and for years hauled his tractor and kid passenger trailer around the country and participated in the tractor club events during the holidays and special occasions. He enjoyed spending time outdoors and long Sunday drives with his wife. He made an annual trip to California to visit his daughters and always made a trip to San Francisco to see the Golden Gate Bridge and eat a bowl of clam chowder on Pier 39.
He loved visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium, driving to Half Moon Bay, and enjoying the scenic Pacific Coast Highway. These trips were never about the destination but about the joy of the journey. Last summer Edwin and his wife Frances spent three weeks touring the Great Pacific Northwest in Washington State. He said that it was a journey of a lifetime and one that he would treasure.

Edwin was preceded in death by his parents Miranda and Ollie Bradley; brother Danny Bradley; and sons Charles Edwin and Norman Wayne Bradley.

He is survived by his spouse of 63 years Frances Bradley of Ardmore; daughters Carolyn Brumley and her husband Stephen of Ardmore, Donna Negranza and her husband Cris of Anacortes, Washington, and Peggy Bradley and her husband Danny of Sunnyvale, California; brother Jimmy Bradley; sister Sue Schrader; grandchildren Larry Robertson, Johnny Robertson, Frances Negranza, Erin Negranza, Nathan Negranza, Gillian Negranza, Samantha McBride, Matthew Ngai, Franklin Ngai, and Thomas Ngai; and great grandchildren Lincoln Robertson, Emma Adcock, Easton Adcock, and Hailie Guess.
