Ronald Gene Bradshaw

Ronald Gene Bradshaw, "Ron,"
At the young age of 64, Ron left this world surrounded by his family. He lived in the township of Niskayuna outside of Schenectady, New York during his last year. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Ron passed away due to heart complications.

Ron was born in Long Beach, California on December 23rd, 1958. He was the youngest child of Bob and Dodie Bradshaw. He graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications from California State University Fullerton and moved forward as a Regional Sales Manager for many companies during his career. His professional journey began working for American Honda, he moved forward to work for Genie Industries, Terex Corporation, spent time as a mailman in his beloved Boise, Idaho, went onward to be a Fixed Operations Manager for Nissan Motors, and finally made his way back home to American Honda at the end of his career. During Ron's life, he dedicated many years of service to his music ministry in the Catholic faith.
He was a leader, a mentor, and a force to be reckoned with in every endeavor.

At the age of 20, Ron met his wife, Tina and they spent 30 years of marriage together. Up until his last day, they loved one another in the way only a classic rock ballad can describe. They had three children, Chris, James, and Katie. His siblings, Bob and Cathy proceed him. His parents Bob and Dodie passed during his lifetime, and he held them very close to his heart throughout his life.

Ron was a father, a brother, a son, a husband, a musician, and a successful businessman.
Ron loved passionately and unconditionally. He had a love for music, beagles, motorcycles, and Coca Cola. His smile and laughter lit up every room he entered and everyone who knew him was positively impacted by him. His eloquent way with words has left everyone who knew him with the most cherished memories of his love.

While his time was cut short with us, he will be remembered for his kindness, generosity and ability to endure all of the hurdles that can be presented in this life. He will live on in the hearts of those he loved.

Ron will be buried with his parents in Boise, Idaho. Service details are not finalized at this time, but his children will be finalizing these arrangements in the near future.
