Bradley Scott Horton passed away unexpectedly on January 8, 2023 at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids, Minnesota. Arrangements have been entrusted to Williams Dingmann Family Funeral Home in Becker, Minnesota.

Bradley was born March 8, 1967 in St Cloud, Minnesota to Jack L. Horton and Roselle Horton. He was baptized and confirmed at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in St Cloud. He attended elementary school, middle school, and Apollo High School in St. Cloud, and graduated from St. Cloud State University in 1990.  Bradley’s first employment after college graduation was in Minneapolis where he worked downtown and enjoyed his after work life, in the uptown area.  After a few years Brad moved to San Diego, California and worked various jobs including several years at The Children’s Psychiatric Hospital. Bradley joined and was an active member of The First Lutheran Church, 3rd Avenue in San Diego. He and his gentle Chow, Louie, moved and lived in Playas Mexico for several years, crossing the border to continue working in San Diego. Bradley more recently moved back to San Diego and subsequently returned to Minnesota in 2020.

The family wishes to thank the Doctors and Nurses at Mercy Hospital for the outstanding care they all gave our Brad during his final hours, and we thank the LifeSource team who cared for Brad and comforted us.
