Ephraim "Rico" Michael Bradley was born April 25, 2012, to Michael and Randi (Langston) Bradley in Cushing, Oklahoma. He departed this life on July 18, 2025, at the age of 13 years.

Rico was known as a gentle giant; he was kindhearted, tender hearted and always so thoughtful of everyone else. He was a student at Cushing Middle School, where he loved everyone he met. His smile was contagious, and he strived to encourage others and make them smile.

Rico loved being outdoors, whether it was working in the yard with his dad, fishing with his grandfather, deer hunting, collecting rocks to share with his momma or being with his animals.

His family was so important to him; he adored his older brothers, always complimented his momma, painting with his grandparents, he loved anything that dealt with being with his family.

His kind heart could be seen in others always gravitating towards him. He also enjoyed video games, Jason Bowland and wearing his cowboy boots and hat. His helpful spirit was seen on a regular basis and also seen in his aspiration to be a highway patrol, paramedic, fireman or policeman when he grew up.

Ephraim is survived by his parents, Michael & Randi Bradley; two brothers, Waylon Bradley and Aidan Bradley; grandparents, Marilyn Bradley, EJ Barnett, Mark & Gail Langston and Terry & Stephanie Bradley; aunt, Jana Halpin (Brian); uncles, Brandon Gray (Jayden) and Brian Rodebush and many other relatives and friends, he would want all his friends to know how much he adored them.

He was preceded in death by great-grandparents, Eddie & Bertha Hickman and Mae & Noel Langston.

A celebration of his life will be held at a later time.
