Thirty-three year old Bradley Howard Joyce died at his residence in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Friday, June 30, 2017.

Born and raised in Earlysville, Virginia, Bradley embraced all the glories of living in a town nestled in the mountains. Bradley was a baptized and life-long member of Meadows Presbyterian Church and a 2002 graduate of Albemarle High School.

Although God held Bradley's hand through his journey in life, Bradley's walk was not always an easy one. However, Bradley fully embraced many joys; his intense interests of nature, baseball and music were only surpassed by his deep love of his family.

Bradley's compassion and quick smiles will be forever in the hearts of those who survive him, his parents, Will and Julie Joyce of Earlysville; brother and sister-in-law, Carson and Amanda Joyce of Rochelle, Virginia; brother and sister-in-law, Graham and Brandy Joyce of Fairview, Tennessee; five nieces and nephews; as well as a number of aunts, uncles and cousins who will all miss his easiness and warm, generous heart.

The family will receive friends at the home 580 Mill Run Court and afterwards at the Service of Witness to the Resurrection, Meadows Presbyterian Church on Monday, July 3, 2017 at 4 p.m.

Memorials to the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA will be appreciated at 3355 Berkmar Dr, Charlottesville, VA 22901.
