On October 7, 2006, Bradberry was killed in a one-truck accident while returning home from working on his racing vehicles.[1] He was survived by his unborn son at the time, Charles Tucker Bradberry born February 8, 2007.

Bradberry, a star in late model stock cars on various tracks in the Southeast, had garnered some interest among Busch Series team owners and could have run in that series in 2007, had he lived.[citation needed]
