Mr. Hartwell enjoyed tinkering on cars and helping friends with projects of any kind. He -especially enjoyed spending time with his daughter and nieces – he was pretty much one of the kids himself. He was outspoken with no filter and would give the shirt off of his back to help a friend. He loved his pit bull, Odin, and his family who will miss him deeply.

Mr. Hartwell’s wishes were to be cremated and for his family and friends to remember him as he was in life.

The family requests memorial contributions be made to LeAnn Tunis for the benefit of Bradley’s daughter, Madisen. Envelopes are available at the funeral home. No flowers, please.
