SOUTH BEND - Bradley J. Troxel, 53, of Edwardsburg, MI, formerly of South Bend, passed away at 8:40 p.m. Sunday, May 1, 2011, in Hospice House of St. Joseph County.

Mr. Troxel was born on November 15, 1957, in South Bend, and had resided in the Edwardsburg area for the past five years, coming from South Bend. He retired from AM General Corp. after many years of service in 2011 and, prior to that, he had worked for Bean Welding in South Bend.

He was preceded in death by his parents, James J. and Betty L. (Rhone) Troxel, and by a brother, Larry Weiand.

Mr. Troxel loved NASCAR, hot rods and motorcycles. When it's time to travel there, I think I'll wear a smile, I'll say goodbye to those I love, But only for a while, Knowing there are others Who have traveled there alone, Who cannot wait to greet me And to whisper "Welcome Home. Mr. Troxel was a veteran of the U.S. Army and was proud to have served his country.

The family would like all memorial contributions to be made to the Center for Hospice and Palliative Care, Inc., 111 Sunnybrook Court, South Bend, IN 46637.
