Kenneth John Bradshaw, 75, of Catonsville, MD passed away on Friday, September 18, 2026.
He was the son of the late Forrest and Marie Bradshaw.
He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Barbara; his children Amy Favinger (Greg), Gayle Melchior (Ron), and Kevin Bradshaw (Carrie); grandchildren Andrea, Jacob, Jonathan, Daniel, Lincoln, Jackson, Maeve, Ethan, and Margot.
He is also survived by his sister, Phyllis Heline, and was predeceased by his brother, Bruce Bradshaw. Ken is also survived by his sister-in-law, Patricia Callan.
Ken was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He graduated from Patterson High School and earned a degree in Industrial Arts from University of Maryland. He worked as an educator for over 30 years in Baltimore County Public Schools.
As a teacher, he brought patience, curiosity, and humor to the classroom. He was known to many as “Mr. B”. Countless students remember him for his dedication and the genuine care he showed every day. Mr. B always found the good in everyone.
Ken loved his family and got great joy out of being a husband, father, and contributing to the community. When his children were in school, you could find him on the sidelines of a sports field or at Five Oaks Pool, proudly cheering on Amy, Gayle, and Kevin. He also had a passion for coaching, spending many years coaching high school soccer as well as several of his children’s youth teams. Years later, he brought that same enthusiasm and support to his grandchildren, always taking great pride in their activities and accomplishments.
