Bradley Sterling, aged 85, passed away on August 10, 2024, in Beaumont, Texas, his lifelong home.

Born on May 7, 1939, in Beaumont, Bradley was a beacon of kindness and compassion, revered as a devoted husband, loving father, and cherished community member.

Bradley's early education was completed at Blessed Sacrament, followed by Charlton Pollard High School, laying a solid foundation for his future. His career spanned over three decades at Weingarten's Grocery Store, where he was known for his unwavering dedication and exceptional customer service. Beyond his professional life, Bradley was deeply involved in his church, serving as the Sunday School Superintendent at the Pentecostal Church of God in Christ for over thirty years.

His profound faith was evident in his daily life. Bradley possessed a remarkable photographic memory for scripture, which he read voraciously. His beautiful singing voice was a regular delight during church solos, particularly when he sang his favorite hymns such as "Precious Lord," "Just a Closer Walk With Thee," and "Blessed Assurance." Additionally, Bradley enjoyed playing the piano, further showcasing his musical talents. Dad was also a foodie; he loved barbecue sweet potato pie and a delicious cup of coffee.

Bradley's personal life was filled with the joy of family and community. He is survived by his beloved wife, Irma Sterling, and their five children:  Antionette Sterling, Jerri Grant, Pamela Sterling, Jeanette Sterling, and Alan (Tamera).  He was a proud grandfather to Autumn, Ava, Caden, Maya, Cori, and Grant. His extended family includes his brothers Joseph, Charles, and Paul; sisters Shelia Harris and Barbara Westbrooks; and numerous nieces and nephews. Bradley was preceded in death by his siblings Leonard Jr., James, and Betty Brown.
