Roy Lynn Bradburn, age 76, passed away March 2026, at the Blue Ridge Medical Center. He was born March 28, 1949 in Ellijay to the late Charlie and Emma Pless Bradburn.

Roy was of the Baptist faith and a member of Cherry Log Baptist Church. He was a graduate of West Fannin High School Class of 1967. Roy was a veteran of the United States Air Force, serving in Vietnam, where his exposure to Agent Orange led to many of his health problems. He had worked for a number of years at Tennessee Chemical Company, and then as a Mechanic. Before his health faded, he raised unbelievably beautiful gardens every year and fed many people from them. Roy loved to watch his birds, especially the Hummingbirds.

Roy loved his family and the simple things in life. He enjoyed family gatherings, all types of racing, 50's and 60's old time rock and roll music, good cup of coffee, sitting on his front porch, and especially loved all of his grandchildren and tried his best to spoil them. Roy always put others before himself and truly loved giving more than receiving. His life was a great example of how God tells us we should live.

The family would like to wish a special and sincere gratitude to the following people that were such a blessing during Roy's illness: Ron Bradburn, James Bradburn, Megan Towe, and the Staff of Blue Ridge Medical, Robin Reeves, Krista Parrinello, Audrey York, Rev. Kevin Chapman, and Rev. Gary Queen.

He was also preceded in death by his siblings, Charles Bradburn, Larry Bradburn, and Jerry Bradburn.
