ZEBULON – Bradley Stancil Crocker, 72, passed away on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at his home, surrounded by his loving and caring family. He was born in Johnston County to the late William Wade and Flora Lee Stancil Crocker.

Bradley worked for the City of Raleigh Department of Transportation as well as owned and operated a lawn maintenance business. It was always his desire to be there for his family, and even amid his health struggles, Bradley remained strong, steady, and encouraging.

Bradley enjoyed the outdoors, especially fishing, and could often be found tinkering in the backyard or working on a project. He was happiest when he was using his hands, spending time outside, or being with the people he loved.

He loved his family faithfully and continually until he closed his eyes and entered into eternal rest.

Along with his parents, Bradley was preceded in death by his wife, Linda Gale Crocker; his brother, Billy Crocker; and his longtime partner, Mary Teachout.

Bradley is survived by his children, April Legnosky and husband Jason, and Amy Land and partner Russell Overly; his grandchildren, Nathan Legnosky, Parker Land, and Noah Legnosky; and his brothers, John Crocker and Bobby Crocker.

Visitation will start at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 13 at Strickland Funeral Home & Crematory in Wendell. The funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. followed by a brief graveside service at Bethlehem Baptist Church Cemetery in Knightdale.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to the Glioblastoma Foundation.
