Jeffrey Don Bradshaw

Jeffrey Don Bradshaw, son of the late Norman “Tuffy” and Sally (Smith) Bradshaw, was born Feb. 22, 1958, in Cabool. He passed away April 24, 2025, in Springfield, at the age of 67. Jeff, like his dad, “Tuffy,” worked in auto body repair for several years. Jeff developed lots of relationships and friendships while working on so many people’s vehicles in Wright, Douglas and Texas counties. Jeff enjoyed watching old western movies, summer barbeques, pool time, Bull Shoals Lake and yard sitting. He absolutely adored his loving wife, Lianne, and the beautiful family they built together. Jeff and his four sisters shared a very special bond. Their devotion to Jeff during his illness was the perfect example of sibling love. 
Besides his parents, Jeff was preceded in death by his grandparents, Henry and Nettie Bradshaw, Don Smith, and Thelma Hurt; and several uncles and aunts.
