Timothy M Bradburn, 53, of Kalkaska, died Fri, Mar 6. 2009, at his home.
Timothy was born Jan 3, 1956, in Saginaw, the son of James and Alice (Mayhew) Bradburn.

Timothy attended the Calvary Baptist Church. He also worked for Harold's Wrecker Service, in West Branch, for 19 years - as well as in home health care for three years.
The biggest joys in his life were his family and friends. He also enjoyed camping, cookouts, working on cars, and riding his Honda motorcycle over the Mackinac Bridge at night, so he could see the lights.
