Bradlee Beatty

What was supposed to be a fun-filled day of cookouts and fireworks turned into a tragic one that the Beatty family will forever remember. On July 4th, after trying to make some extra income for his family’s festivities, Bradlee Beatty (36) was on his motorcycle headed to Lakeland, TN to spend the rest of the day with his family, as he promised his children he would do, when a pickup truck carelessly pulled out in front of him. The driver of the truck left the scene, leaving Bradlee to die in the middle of the road by himself.

Bradlee was a devoted and loving husband and father; he was the sole breadwinner for the household. His sudden and senseless death has left a gaping hole in the hearts of his wife, Shauna and children, Drayven (9yo), Sydney (6yo), and Ethan (4yo) of Jackson, TN; and Nick (17yo), Chantelle (16yo), Dominic (15yo) and Jada (8yo) of Montana.

As they are left to navigate their grief, they are also left with many financial burdens, not only in planning the funeral for a loved one who was taken far too soon but also the long-term therapy that his children will have to work through to accept the void that is now in their lives. We are requesting donations to help ease these financial burdens his family is left to face without him.

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers in the days ahead as they mourn the loss of their beloved husband and father.

Visitation and funeral have not been scheduled at this time; I will update.
