Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and friend, Ted W. Bradshaw, passed away on Saturday, February 12, 2005, after a courageous battle with colon cancer. He was born on November 25, 1946 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Arnold W. Bradshaw and Delpha Pratt. Ted was married to Marcy Welling in the Salt Lake Temple on December 15, 1967.
He graduated from Bountiful High School in 1965, and from the University of Utah in 1969. He served his country in the U.S. Army from 1969 to 1971. He then completed an MBA degree at the U of U and later started his own business as an accountant and medical management consultant.
He was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and held many callings including Priest Quorum advisor, bishopric member, and member of the stake high council. He cherished his wife, children, grandchildren, family and especially his golfing buddies. He showed through his service and example that he truly was a disciple of Christ.
He is preceded in death by his mother. He is survived by and will be greatly missed by Marcy, his wife of 37 years, and their three children: Bryce Maree (Jonathan) Krogue, of Woods Cross; Brett W. Bradshaw, of Tucson, Arizona, and Benjamin W. Bradshaw, currently serving a mission in Montevideo, Uruguay; as well as two precious grandsons, C. Chase Bradshaw and Cameron Krogue. He is also survived by his father, Arnold W. (Mel) Bradshaw, his brother, Bruce Frank (Sandy) Bradshaw, sister-in-law, Judy (Robert) Hart, brother-in-law, Gregory (Richelle) Welling, and many loved aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and lifetime friends.
Ted will always be remembered for his enthusiasm, cheerful attitude, his organizational skills, his limitless generosity, and his devotion to family, friends, and the gospel. He was a great example for his hard work ethic, yet he had a great ability to have fun and enjoy the good times. He was happiest when spending time with his family or on the golf course with his "Thursday buddies." He was a gifted financial advisor, and his vast knowledge on taxes, investments and management will be missed.
A viewing will be held on Tuesday, February 15 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Russon Brothers Mortuary, 295 North Main, Bountiful, and again from 9:30 to 10:45 at the Bountiful 45th Ward Bldg, 115 East Wicker Lane (2000 So. Orchard Drive). The funeral will immediately follow. Interment will be at the Bountiful City Cemetery.
The family wishes to extend gratitude to the staff of Utah Cancer Specialists, and to the staff of Lakeview Hospital and the VistaCare Hospice program for their loving care during his illness, and to all the beloved family and friends who have supported us through the last year.
