Bradley Dean Palmer

Bradley Dean Palmer, 53, passed away Tuesday, May 19, 2015, in Hinsdale, Mont.

He was born on Oct. 21, 1961, to Terry and Marian Palmer in Glasgow. He attended grade school through graduation in Hinsdale and graduated in 1980.

He worked in the Hinsdale area until attending Billings Vo-Tech, receiving a HVAC degree. He then worked in Billings for a refrigeration business as well as working throughout Montana and South Dakota.

He became certified in asbestos abatement and was very proud of his work at the Cenex refinery in Laurel. He made many friends in the Billings area during this time. He returned home to Hinsdale and worked for the Hinsdale School District until the time of his death.

He loved NASCAR. His favorite driver was Jimmie Johnson in that 48 Lowes Car. He also loved his beloved Green Bay Packers, attending church, and was proud to be active in AA, as he had been sober since 1983. He never hesitated to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

Survivors include his parents, Terry Palmer of Hinsdale and Marian Palmer of Great Falls; one son, Janson Palmer of Glasgow; one daughter, Katrina Heser of Billings; one brother, Kyle Palmer of Hinsdale; one sister, Rhonda Schultz and her husband, Dale, of Billings; and many special nieces, nephews and cousins.
