BRADLEY WINFIELD PARKER Bradley Winfield Parker, of Bow and Chichester, died suddenly on Monday morning, September 28, 2020, at his Bow residence. Bradley grew up in Littleton, New Hampshire, the son of Winfield Parker and Nila (Warren) Parker, both deceased. Brad is survived by his brother Warren Parker, niece Lisa (Parker) Magoon and husband Bob Magoon, Grandniece Rebecca and Grandnephew Ross, their children and many cousins. He is also survived by his two close friends Diane Bazydlo of Bow and Kathy Doutt of Chichester, and the many friends and associates he has known through his various career employments and particularly through music. Brad was employed by New Hampshire Police Standards and Training for many years as a driving instructor and training director. He was so proud that no police officer that he had trained had lost their life in a traffic crash. From an early age, Brad was a musician. He was a composer, singer/songwriter, performing and recording artist of Country Western, folk and Americana music. He had three Number 1 hits on the Indie World Charts and was often heard on internet and conventional radio stations. His soul was that of a musician, and he can now be heard at Heaven's Door. SERVICES -- There will be a graveside service on Saturday, October 3, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. at the Glenwood Cemetery with COVID-19 protocols in place, Rev. Lyn Winter will officiate. It is hoped that a musical get-together can be held sometime next year to memorialize Brad. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the following non-profit organizations for the care of rescued animals: Pope Memorial SPCA of Concord, 94 Silk Farm Road, Concord NH 03301; and Live and Let Live Farm, Inc., 20 Paradice Lane, Chichester, NH 03258.

Brad was a high school friend from Littleton. He was always a gentleman, always had an ear to listen, a voice to sing! Brad was a gentle man who will be missed.

I'm sorry for your loss Diane. Brad was a nice guy and a good musician with a nice singing voice. You loaned me a CD he made and I enjoyed it. Best wishes.

Brad was one of the nicest men I've ever known. He was also an incredible musician! First met him when he had just teamed up with John Burrows, at The Flintlock. I was floored by their talent. He will be forever missed and loved.❤

My deepest sympathy to all who knew Brad. We have been friends for some 53 years our houses being separated by just a short walk through a field. Often he would make the walk if he heard me in my back yard playing guitar to offer some pointers. A saying I have found comfort in through the years ...

Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear. "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal"

So many fond memories in my youth of being in crowds that were so fortunate to see and hear the Franconia Notch Band, of which he was a driving force- 'Orange Blossom Special' with Brad on the fiddle was always a favorite. A truly gifted songwriter and performer.

I was a neighbor of Brad's many years ago in Littleton. All my best to Brad, his family, and those he touched with his music.

This is such an unimaginable loss to those of us fortunate to have known him. He was a gift to all of us and his music made our hearts soar. Some of us got to "perform" with Brad but mostly we watched and listened. My thoughts, prayers, and love go out

Brad,

My friend and colleague, you will be sincerely missed. I always enjoyed our late afternoon chats in your office at the academy, after a long day. You always had a new thought or idea on whatever we discussed and it was refreshing. Time moves so quickly and we loose contact with those we have worked with and have been close to.
Life is sometimes so short, in the perspective of who we all are. Rest in peace my friend, you were a talented artist of music and thought and an exceptional individual.
My best,
John Clark - NHPSTC - Bureau Chief/Captain (retired)
