Erone Hezekiah Bradley, a beloved father, brother, and well-known "Handyman" in the Bishopville community, departed on Saturday, October 11, 2025. He was 73 years old. 

Born on September 06, 1952, in Bishopville, South Carolina, Erone was the son of the late Elijah and Carrie E. Bradley. He was educated in the Lee County public school system and graduated in 1970 from Mount Pleasant High School.

Erone was known as a free-spirited and hardworking man. After graduation, he began his career at Kendall Corporation in Bethune, SC. He later relocated, working for Phillip Petroleum in Greenville, SC, before returning to his hometown of Bishopville. Back home, Erone truly came into his own, taking on various contracting jobs utilizing his skills in carpentry and mechanics. He was affectionately known throughout the community as the trusted Handyman.

A man who embraced life, Erone enjoyed his hobbies of fishing, mechanics, and carpentry. He was always ready with a joke, and his spirit of "horsing around" brought joy to all who knew him.

Erone was preceded in death by his parents, Elijah Bradley, Sr. and Carrie E. Bradley; his daughter, Danielle Fowler; his brothers, Ira Bradley and William Henry; and his sister, Mary Alice Bradley.

He leaves behind a legacy of love carried on by his surviving children: Shalonda Idlett of Sumter, SC, Eronda Bradley of Royal Palm Beach, FL, Christopher Hunter of Atlanta, GA, Dewayne Bouie of Hemingway, SC, and Brian Watson of Liberty, SC. 

He is also survived by his loving sisters, Rosa Ford (Bishopville, SC), Cynthia Bradley (Bishopville, SC), Ponthelio Wilson (Leroy) (Bishopville, SC), and Bernice Henry (Columbia, SC); and his devoted brothers, Willie J. Bradley, Elijah Bradley, Jr., and Reverend Alfred Bradley (all of Bishopville, SC), and Kenneth Bradley (Chesterfield, VA). 

Erone’s memory will be cherished by his 13 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, along with a host of nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
