Bradley Wilkison's Obituary
Bradley Richard Wilkison, age 54, passed away on September 26, 2025.
Brad was a devoted husband, father, son, brother, and friend. He loved his family dearly and found joy in the time they spent together—attending rock shows with his son Alex, cheering on the Cleveland Browns with both sons, having long discussions about football with his son Matthew, enjoying trivia nights with the family, and quiet evenings watching true crime shows with his wife. He also cherished the companionship of the family dog, Finley. A lifelong fan of Cleveland sports, rock music, and especially the band KISS, Brad’s passion for life was infectious. He also treasured his 1970 Mustang and the memories it held. Brad enjoyed his work as a Data Analyst for Progressive Insurance, where he dedicated many years of his career. His colleagues will remember him for his hard work, sharp mind and work ethic.
He is survived by his loving wife, Beth, and his treasured sons, Matthew and Alex. He is also survived by his parents, Richard and Donna Wilkison; his sisters, Becky Wilkison (Tim Geary) and Chris Wilkison (Garth Riley); and his beloved nieces and nephews—Sarah, Phillip, Andrea, Katherine, Connor, Jack, Brian, Lauren, Avery, and Arianna.
Brad will be remembered for his laughter, his loyalty, his love of music and sports, and above all, his unwavering devotion to his family. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
