Clarence Bradshaw, Jr

Clarence Bradshaw Jr. was given birth to by Lucille Denson (Mother) and Clarence Bradshaw Sr. (Father) on June 30, 1951. He was raised in Cuero, Texas, by his Aunt, Eliza Bradshaw who was also known as "Sister" and his Father. Clarence Jr. spent his youth and young adulthood in Cuero and then relocated to Austin, Texas, where he met his wife Janice Bradshaw. He became a father to his stepson Michael Everett and together they had a daughter, La Tricia Bradshaw.

During his time in Austin, he became a jack of all trades by working in various fields throughout his early years, until he found a career at Huston-Tillotson University in the early 90's as an officer of campus safety. For nearly 20 years, Officer Bradshaw was a member of the HTU family, where he met a multitude of great people and developed long-lasting friendships. After Clarence's departure from HTU and towards the latter part of his journey, he decided to take initiative to make positive changes. He often proclaimed to be a "Doctor," however, one of his proudest moments was when Clarence finally earned his high school diploma on June 14, 2012. Later that year, his granddaughter, Serenity Saniya-Marie Dillard was born on December 18, 2012, which gave him even more encouragement to improve.

Clarence is preceded in death by both of his parents, Aunt Sister, and five of his brothers: Marshall, Fay W., Charles, Adam, and Eugene Denson.

He is survived by his wife, his sister Shirley Ballard (Willie) of Highland Ranch, CO, Larry Denson of Austin, TX, his children, grandchildren, his niece Thessa G. Roy, and nephews Kai Denson, Kei Denson, and Kevin Denson.

The family would like to give special thanks to Nick Rios, Al Greenwood, and Carl Johns.
