Born on September 12th, 1961, as the second child of Ernest Sievers and Darlene (Noonan), Bradley quickly developed a passion for dirt bikes and motorcycles, earning him the moniker of “Big Brad.” His thrilling, daredevil-like lifestyle followed him wherever he went, with some even ribbing him that he didn’t have many of his nine lives left. Embracing the classic rock-and-roll way of life, while still maintaining a child-like spirit, Brad eventually settled down to start his family. He took joy in introducing his children to nostalgic treasures like remote-control cars, slot car race tracks, Atari, pinball machines, Nintendo, and more.
Bradley began working for Duncan Aviation on August 1st, 1991, as a Paint Master Specialist. For over 31 years, he was dedicated to his role in the Paint Department, helping prepare and paint hundreds of aircraft throughout his career. Brad took immense pride in his work and was highly respected and loved by his peers. He formed lasting friendships with his co-workers, all while joking that he outworked every single one of them. Brad’s work lives on through his team as he passed down his knowledge, dedication, passion for detail and strong work ethic. His influence is forever felt as he leaves behind a lasting mark not only etching his legacy on each craft but in the hearts of all he touched.
Bradley is survived by his wife (separated), Margaret (Garcia); daughter Brandy (Blake) Sievers; sons Josh and Justin Sievers; and his 10 grandchildren, who were the shinning light of his world: Allessondra (Momo) Walden-Sievers, Savannah Walden-Sievers, Gabriella Walden-Sievers, Isaiah Sellers, Joshua-Charles Sievers, Blake Walden Jr, Tyler Sievers, Keegan McGinnis, Iyzzabella Walden-Sievers, and Logan Sievers. “Big Brad” is also survived by his sister, Linda (Jeff) Dennis; his brother, Craig Sievers; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
