“Our beautiful boy, so cruelly taken away from us far too young.

Bradley was a credit to himself, to us as parents, and to all his family and friends who loved him dearly.

He was proud to be PC Bradley Corke, and we are proud of his dedication to the profession.

 

We have been touched by the outpouring of love from all who knew him, especially those he helped in his line of duty.

It comes as no surprise to us that so many had such positive experiences with him because that’s just Brad – a true gentleman in every situation.

Son, we are broken and may never recover from your loss, but we will draw strength from all you were and will forever be.

We love you with every ounce of our being. Sleep tight, our most beautiful boy.”
