Clayton or Bradley as he was more fondly known was born on June 21, 1946, in Morehead City, North Carolina, to the late Rev. Clayton Guthrie Jr. and Ellen Hancock Guthrie. He graduated from Tarboro High School where he enjoyed playing a variety of sports. He was an exceptional bowler and played on various leagues through the years. Bradley loved being outdoors and especially enjoyed hunting and fishing.

Bradley retired from Civil Service following 34 years of faithful service as a group leader. Following retirement, he assisted at Munden Funeral Home helping when he could. In his earlier years he enjoyed helping out at the Grantsboro Volunteer Fire Department.

Bradley was a longtime member of Harkers Island Pentecostal Church where he also served as a Deacon. He loved his church and his church family. He was certainly a people person and loved interacting with those around him. Bradley’s kind and caring ways endeared him to all who were blessed to call him a friend.

He is survived by his aunt, Joyce Creekmore of Wilmington; cousins, Marilyn Rose of Harkers Island, Mia Smith of Harkers Island, Ande Creekmore of Raleigh, Charla Webster of Hampstead and Eddie Glenn Rose of Harkers Island; numerous great nieces and nephews; and other loving family members.
