Thomas (Thom) Dee Bradshaw passed away at the age of 72, after a long battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his loving family. Thom was born to Dee and Rita Bradshaw in Boise, Idaho on May 23, 1950. He was one of the nine children they were blessed to have. Thom attended school in Melba, Idaho and went on to attend college at Ricks. After college he served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Kansas, Missouri. Thom returned home from his mission and married the love of his life Diana McBride on July 14, 1973. They had six children together. His love for classic cars led him to work as an auto body tech. In his own time, he worked on classic cars as a hobby. He was often also helping family and friends with their cars. Thom had a very strong testimony of his faith in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He received many callings throughout his life. His favorite calling was to serve in scouts. He loved spending time outside and working with kids. While Thom took pleasure in so many things in life, the thing he took the most pleasure in was being a grandpa.
