Ryder James Bradley

Ryder James Bradley was born on 9/27/2006 to Shane and Desiree Bradley. He was the baby of the family and has an older sister Jasmine. Ryder was just getting ready to start his JR year at Ottumwa High School. He was incredibly smart and was in the Talented and Gifted program all throughout school. He had a great sense of humor and quick wit, always having an amusing comeback to whatever you threw his way. He enjoyed a variety of hobbies: gaming online, building computers, fishing, boating and tubing. One of the things he was most passionate about though was bowling. Ryder was in the Ottumwa Youth Bowling League and bowled for the Evan’s Jr High team. He loved to run around the town with his friends but still always made time for his family. On weekends Ryder and his mom would go to the junk store and sift through all the hidden treasures or go down to Heartland Humane Society and say hi to all the dogs where they eventually brought three home from. Ryder now resides in Heaven along side two of his beloved dogs, Otto and Gus. We all miss and love Ryder dearly. We hope this memorial can help keep his memory alive in the hearts of others, in the way it will always live in the hearts of his loved ones.
