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.
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.

For 22 years, I had the honor and blessing of sitting under your ministry. It was in your church where I truly learned what it meant to have faith, to put God first, and to walk as a true Christian. I have visited many places along my journey, but none ever poured into me the way you did or helped shape me into the woman of God I desired to be.
You saw something in me that I didn’t fully see in myself. Through your prophetic gift, you helped me discover my own gift of prophecy, and for that, I will forever be grateful. You were more than a pastor you were a father figure, a covering, and a constant source of strength in my life. There were seasons when you and your wife were the only family my children and I had, and your love and support carried us through.
You poured into my family in countless ways teaching my son how to play the drums for the church, helping us in times of need, and standing with me on one of the most important days of my life when you married me and my husband 10 years ago. I am forever grateful!! Your impact is woven into the very fabric of our lives.
It still feels unreal that you are no longer here with us, but I trust that God makes no mistakes and has the final say. Though our hearts are heavy, we find peace knowing that your work, your love, and your teachings will live on through all of us whose lives you touched.
Rest easy, Pastor. Your legacy will continue to live on through your church family and beyond. You will always be loved, honored, and deeply missed

Pastor Bradley was always there for our family in the time of need. He didn’t hesitate to do all that he could. I will forever be grateful for his council and listening ear after the loss of my son. May God continue to hold his children and Monica in his loving arms.

I had the privilege of discovering the personalities of all of my brother James, Sr. and sister in law Martha’s children—since I was their weekend sitter when their parents would travel to Georgia where James, Sr. pastored a church. James, Jr has always been a tough Alpha male, the late Daniel was the tough curious one, Bennett was the tough challenging one( but generally in a good way)and Martin was always the tough but kind one. He had a beautiful spirit about him that will be long remembered. All of the Bradleys loved Martin dearly; and honestly, we have all been deeply affected by his demise, but we know he was a great gift from God and to God he has returned.
To Monica and all of Martin’s girls, you have our deepest sympathy!
