Bradley Justin Carpenter's Obituary
Bradley Justin Carpenter, age 48, of Ft. Myers, Fla., passed away peacefully on Sept. 28, 2025, surrounded by his family. Bradley was born on Aug. 12, 1977, in Buffalo, N.Y. to Mark and Sandra Carpenter. He was a graduate of Estero High School in (1995) and The Florida State University (2002).
His life was centered on his faithful love for his wife and children, his hard work ethic, and his community. He was also a cherished son, brother, uncle, and cousin, remembered for his kindness, loyalty, and humor.
Bradley was the proud owner of Jewel Stone Title Insurance Company from 2007-2022. He poured the same integrity, determination, and care into his work as he did into every relationship in his life.
His honesty and kindness touched his clients and colleagues. Baseball was one of Bradley’s greatest joys. He found meaning not only in playing the game but also in coaching and mentoring young athletes. For Bradley, the lessons of the game – teamwork, discipline, and perseverance – were also lessons for life.
Bradley is survived by his loving wife Karen, his children Grayson and Lucas, his parents Sandra and Mark, and his siblings Christopher, Melissa, and Gavin, along with extended family and countless friends who will miss him dearly.
A funeral Mass will be held at St. John XXIII Catholic Church on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025, at 12:30 p.m. Followed by a Celebration of Life at The Burtwood Tavern at Gulf Coast.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in his honor to The American Cancer Society.
