Bradley Collier Passes [Updated]

May 4, 2012/by Sarah Skates

Bradley Collier

MusicRow extends sincere condolences to publicist Susan Collier and her family on the passing of son Bradley Aaron Collier. He was 35 and died May 2, 2012, in a motorcycle accident on Woodlawn Drive in Nashville.

Collier, a former Marine, was the recipient of a Medal of Valor and a Purple Heart. He was severely injured during his 2004 tour of duty in Iraq.

He was interviewed by The Tennessean in November 2011 for an article about veteran medical care.

He is survived by his mother Susan, father Rex, brother Christian, and stepmother Malvina Collier, all of Nashville, plus numerous extended family members in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana.

A family and friends visitation will be held at West Harpeth Funeral Home (6962 Charlotte Pike) on Monday, May 7, 4 – 7 pm; and on Tuesday, May 8, 10 – 11 am with a Celebration of Life service at 11 am. Burial Service will take place May 8 at 1 pm at Middle Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery on McCrory Lane, with a reception to follow at 2:30 pm at Brookmeade Congregational Church.
