Roger Bradley

(From Clark Funeral Home)

Roger Allen Bradley entered into eternal life with his Lord and Savior on May 16, 2026, in Neosho, Missouri. He was 81.

He was born December 3, 1944, in Kirksville, Missouri, to Cleo Clyde Bradley and Anna Lee (Bissell) Bradley.

Roger graduated from high school and attended college courses in culinary arts. He worked as a chef for Robert Morris College in Carthage, Illinois as well as Methode Electronics for many years.

On July 20, 1979, Roger married Twila Phillips, in the small town of Burnside, Illinois. She survives of the home.

Roger was an avid reader who especially enjoyed learning about history. He was a devout Christian and a true man of God. He loved the Lord deeply, enjoyed singing hymns and sharing his faith with others introducing them to his Savior. No doubt when Roger entered Heaven, he heard his Savior say, “Well done.” Roger truly fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.

He was a cherished husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend.

Roger is survived by his wife, Twila Bradley; his children, Jeff Bradley and wife Cindy of Dayton, Ohio, and Jessie Gogulski and husband Scott of Louisville, Kentucky; four grandchildren, Cameron Bradley, Taylor Bradley, Kolt Bradley, and Aubree Gogulski; two great-grandsons, Beau and Mason; one brother, Dale Bradley and wife Lola of Neosho, Missouri; and sisters Debbie Lowe of Hamilton, Illinois, Dixie Fink and husband Larry of Carthage, Illinois, and Deanna Hitz and husband Gene of Abingdon, Illinois, along with numerous extended family members and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, Buddy Lee Bradley; two sisters, Dortha Eiffert and Donna Meeks; and his maternal grandmother, Jessie Harriett Bissell.

A memorial visitation will be held on Monday, June 1, 2026, from 9:00AM – 10:00AM at Clark Funeral Home, with memorial service beginning at 10:00AM.
