________

The committee on House Invitations and Memorial Resolutions

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 1041) to request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of US Highway 17A in Berkeley County from its intersection with Harristown Road to its intersection, etc., respectfully

Report:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

DENNIS MOSS for Committee.

________

A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME the portion of US Highway 17A in Berkeley County from its intersection with Harristown Road to its intersection with Hoodtown Road "Rev. Larry A. Bradberry Highway" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS LOCATION CONTAINING THE DESIGNATION.

Whereas, a native of Red Oak, Georgia, Larry A. Bradberry was born on February 27, 1941. He is an alumnus of Atlanta Christian College, now Point University; and

Whereas, in 1966, Reverend Bradberry decided to "try out" to become the minister of Macedonia Christian Church in Macedonia. He was successful and served as minister of the church until the time of his passing nearly fifty-six years later; and

Whereas, a leader in his ministry, Reverend Bradberry performed hundreds of baptisms, marriages, and funerals. His ministry was to preach, teach, pray, baptize, marry, bury, and love generations of people in his congregation and the surrounding community. His legacy lives on in his Christ-centered family and the church family that he helped nurture; and

Whereas, a civic leader, Reverend Bradberry was very active in Macedonia and nearby communities. Over the years he served as a Little League coach, a football coach, a substitute teacher at Macedonia High School, the voice of the Macedonia High School Foxes Football Team and the Timberland High School Wolves Football Team, and a statistician for Berkeley High Stags Football; and

Whereas, Reverend Bradberry served as chaplain for Santee Cooper Law Enforcement and Security and served for fifty-two years in various leadership roles with Camp Edisto in Branchville. He also served as the chairman of the South Carolina Christian Ministers Association; and

Whereas, Reverend Bradberry leaves to cherish his memory his loving wife of sixty-two years, Paulette Padgett Bradberry; a son, Matthew A. Bradberry and his wife, Wendy; a daughter, Phoebe J. Bradberry; three grandchildren, Priscilla Brinson and her husband, William, Victoria Bradberry, and M. Easton Bradberry; and great-grandchildren Weston D. Brinson and William "Bryce" Brinson; and

Whereas, Reverend Bradberry passed away on September 23, 2023, after a brief illness. He will be greatly missed; and

Whereas, it would be only fitting and proper to pay tribute to Reverend Bradberry by naming a portion of road in the State in his honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of US Highway 17A in Berkeley County from its intersection with Harristown Road to its intersection with Hoodtown Road "Rev. Larry A. Bradberry Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this location containing the designation.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and presented to the family of Reverend Larry A. Bradberry.
