Obituary For Bradley (Brad) Phillip Mulcahy
June 6, 1951 – December 18, 2020
Brad died suddenly in the late afternoon of December 18, 2020. He was born in Edmonton on June 6, 1961 to William and Patricia Mulcahy (Hutchinson).
On October 2, 1999 he married the love of his life Trish (Red) and immediately jumped into fatherhood with Stacey, Shelley, Jody, and Heather. He quickly learned the joys and woes of living with teenage girls as Jody and Heather were young enough to be living at home. He loved it and loved all the girls.
Brad lived his younger years in Edmonton, Yellowknife and Fawcett and spent most of the next 30 years in Grande Prairie where he became the «go to» guy for his family and friends.
He spent his working years driving trucks and operating various types of heavy equipment. His love for trucks and his ability to use colorful language began when he was 18 months old and got a truck for Christmas. It lasted his lifetime.
One of the biggest challenges he faced was when he lost his left arm in a crusher accident at 18 years old. As he learned to live and deal with this, he put into practice one of his favorite sayings «Oh quit your sniveling, put your big girl panties on and deal with it.» He met his own challenges admirably with fortitude and great determination.
Brad leaves to mourn his passing his loving wife Trish, his daughters Stacey, Shelley, Jody, Heather, and their partners. His 5 grandchildren Chloe, Kiara, Aryana, Leighton, and Ethan. He also leaves his Mom Pat, his only sibling Greg (Faye) and their children Chantel (Zoey & Ryker) James, Travis Mulcahy, Shelby (Luke) Marcoccia and Tyler Mulcahy. He is also survived by aunts, uncles, cousins, and numerous good friends.
Brad was predeceased by his dad Bill (2008), his grandparents, aunt Leone Tompkins, and uncles Garry Mulcahy, Bill Tompkins, and Keith and Doug Hutchinson.
Our Brad (Bunky) will be lovingly remembered by many people.
God Bless his soul and may he Rest in Peace.
There will be no funeral at this time. Hopefully, we can have a Celebration of Life in the spring.
No flowers please. If you so desire, you can honor Brad with a donation in his name to a charity of your choice.
