It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Bradley T. Ellerman, who left us on November 27, 2025, at the age of 67. Brad was Born on July 28, 1958, the son of Christopher and Frances (Otten) Ellerman.
Brad was a proud graduate of South Knox High School (1976) and Vincennes University (1978). He devoted many years of his life to working at Duke Energy and mowing countless miles of grass. He was also a member of Royal Oak Presbyterian Church.
Brad was a proud member of the Edwardsport Masonic Lodge and the Bicknell French Club. Deep down, he was a farmer at heart who loved tending to his fields, where he raised pumpkins, Indian corn, and sweet corn with unwavering passion. When he wasn’t farming, you could find him enjoying the great outdoors-hunting, fishing, and trapping brought him incredible joy.
Brad had a love for adventure, especially on his Harley rides; he felt alive on the open road. Most importantly, he cherished teaching valuable life lessons to his children-he wanted to pass down his wisdom and love for life to the next generation. Brad always said if he would have known grandchildren would have been so good, he would have just skipped his children and went straight to his grandchildren.
He leaves behind his loving wife, Tammy Ellerman of Bicknell; his children, Kylie Jackson (Josh) of Vincennes, Tyler Ellerman (Haley) of Wheatland; his grandchildren, Leighton, Mailin and Colvin Jackson, Theo Ellerman, Breezlin Jackson and Hollis Ellerman; father-in-law, Don Cardinal; as well as his sister-in-law, Gina Ellerman; brother-in-law, Bill (Susie) Brower; sister-in-law, Delana (Doug) Hatfield; as well as countless other family members and friends. Brad is preceded in death by his parents Christopher (Emily) and Frances Ellerman, his brother Mark Ellerman, and his mother-in-law, Betty Cardinal.
