Mark H. Bradford, loving father, grandfather

June 8, 2022

Mark H. Bradford, 62, of Dagsboro passed away Sunday, June 5, 2022, at his home.  Mark was born May 8, 1960, to the late Odus Milton and Mary Dennis Bradford, and was raised with his brothers and sister on the outskirts of Ocean City, Md., on the family chicken and hog farm, until he met the love of his life, Brenda.

In addition to his parents, Mark is preceded in death by his wife, Brenda Lee Bradford.

He is survived by his son, Mark Andrew “Andy,” his wife Leah, and their children, Ryan Andrew, Kayley Nichole, Avery Elizabeth and Taegan LeeAnn Bradford; daughter, Amber Leigh and her daughter Kinsley Marie Bradford; brothers, David Bradford (Nancy), Daniel Bradford (Carol), Michael Bradford, Milton Bradford (Annette), Jeff Bradford, James Bradford; and his baby sister, Mary Clifton (Steve); many nieces and nephews; and special friends he considered family.

Mark worked in the deli at Hocker’s Supermarket for 20-plus years, where most knew him as “Dewey.”  He was loved and adored by all his customers, not only for the service he gave them but for the attention, compassion and love he showed each and every one.  He was the life of the party, always carrying a huge smile, laughing, making a joke, or giving out a much-needed hug.  He loved his children and loved his grandchildren even more; Pop Pop was his favorite role.  

Services will be private.
