Bradley Nalley Obituary

Bradley (Brad) Wayne Nalley, 59, of Garden City, SC embarked on his final adventure on Saturday September 6, 2025, with his wife Rhonda by his side leaving behind a legacy of laughter and kindness. Formerly of Pickens, SC, Brad was the son of Wayne Nalley and the late Sandy Cassell Nalley. Brad fought a 3-year courageous battle with lung cancer. Throughout his cancer journey, Brad exemplified grace and positivity that inspired everyone fortunate enough to know him. He always made everyone laugh and never missed an opportunity to speak a kind word to those he met. He loved his family and his wife Rhonda. He always said, "My life began the day we met." Brad and Rhonda were forever loves, best friends and worked together to make each other's dreams come true. A member of Garden City Baptist Church, Brad loved God and served him daily. A true example of how we as Christians should keep the Faith and follow God's Plan. He often stated, "When you have true faith – You will never suffer." He loved sharing his testimony of how God changed his heart and life and touched many with his inspirational words of encouragement. He shared the Greatness of God until the very end. Brad was born in Easley, SC. He attended Christian School, Easley High School class of 1984, and Tri County Technical College where he embarked on his career of trucking for 39 years. Anyone that knew Brad, knew that he loved to laugh, have fun, loved fast Hot Rod Cars and Big Fast Shiny Large Cars (Trucks). He had an infectious smile and "Oh boy" could he tell some old trucker stories. He was known in the trucker world as "Hard Luck" on the CB radio and also known as one of "The Best" outlaw truckers out there juggling log books, dodging chicken houses, and moving fast to get the next load delivered, traveling over a million miles across the United States. Brad's final wishes was for Rhonda to continue and carryout his ministry of reaching others for Christ. He often told his wishes and discussed with Rhonda to be his voice and carry out BWN Express Ministries. This ministry and mission will share God's Great Plan of Salvation, His Love, Faith and Hope with others across States and truck stops. In lieu of flowers he has requested that you give to the ministry so that God's great love can be shared to many by purchasing wooden crosses and materials.
