The Block announces death of beloved cast member

The cast and crew of The Block are in mourning after the death of one of their beloved tradies, Jon-Jeremy Bradey of A Plus Enterprises.

The pool expert, who died on October 14 at age 42, worked on the hit series over several seasons, reports the Herald Sun.

Bradey, known as Jon Jon to his mates, was given a touching tribute by The Block on Sunday night.

A picture of the tradie in a tuxedo with black bow-tie was shown at the end of the episode.

The photo included the caption: ‘In memory of Jon Jeremy Bradey, 1980-2022.’

Fans of The Block would know Bradey as the ‘pool king’ who worked on Kirsty and Jesse’s property for the 2021 season of the ratings blockbuster.

He also concreted Josh and Luke’s pool in the same season.

The father of three was a legend in the building industry and a devoted father and friend, the publication reported.

His well respected reputation for precision earned him the nick name: ‘Mr. 1 per cent.’

Bradey’s wife, Ms Candice Howman, told the Herald Sun that she was overwhelmed by the love and support from friends of her late husband.

A funeral for the much loved tradie was held at Narre Warren North on Monday. 

Bradey was survived by his wife Candice and three children, Anileese, Amelia and Kobe.
