Jeff Bradshaw

Jeffrey Don Bradshaw, son of the late Norman “Tuffy” and Sally (Smith) Bradshaw, was born February 22, 1958, in Cabool, Missouri. He passed away April 24, 2025, in Springfield, Missouri, at the age of 67.

Jeff, like his dad, “Tuffy,” worked in auto body repair for several years. Jeff developed lots of relationships and friendships while working on so many people’s vehicles in Wright, Douglas, and Texas counties.

Jeff enjoyed watching old western movies, summer barbeques, pool time, Bull Shoals Lake, and yard sitting. He absolutely adored his loving wife, Lianne, and the beautiful family they built together.

Jeff and his four sisters shared a very special bond. Their devotion to Jeff during his illness was the perfect example of sibling love.

Besides his parents, Jeff was preceded in death by his grandparents, Henry and Nettie Bradshaw, Don Smith, and Thelma Hurt; and several uncles and aunts.

Jeff is survived by his loving wife of nearly 49 years, Lianne Bradshaw of Macomb, Missouri; four children, Joe Bradshaw and wife, Suzanne, of Nixa, Missouri, Chris Bradshaw of Norwood, Missouri, R.A. Bradshaw of Norwood, Missouri, and Heidi Kelly and husband, John, of Norwood, Missouri; twelve grandchildren, Sophie Bradshaw, Catherine Bradshaw, Lila Bradshaw, Charlee Valence and husband, Phil, Andrew Bradshaw, Drae Bradshaw, Jace Bradshaw, Audrei Bradshaw, Regan Kelly, Cameron Kelly, Carder Kelly, and Bryant Kelly; two great-grandchildren, Lauren Valence and Emma Valence; four sisters, Norma Brewer and husband, Dan, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Connie Dugger and husband, Gary, of Norwood, Missouri, Daylene Stowe and husband, Wes, of Springfield, Missouri, and Jody Flanagan of Diggins, Missouri; and many nieces, nephews, relatives, and dear friends who will miss him greatly.
