Barry Hadley Obituary

Barry Richard Hadley, 69, of Strasburg, passed away on February 23, 2026. Born January 12, 1957, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, he graduated from Lansdowne High School and studied Environmental Sciences at West Virginia University, where he was a proud member of Sigma Phi Epsilon and a lifelong Mountaineers fan.

Barry built his life in the Shenandoah Valley as a soil evaluator and later founded Hadley Environmental with his son, Rick. He found his greatest joy outdoors - on the river, in the woods, and in noticing the quiet beauty of the natural world. A proud father and "Pappy," he will be remembered for his steady presence, independent spirit, and fun-loving nature.

A celebration of life will be held at Woodstock Gardens (1175 Hisey Ave, Woodstock, VA) on March 14, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. All who knew and loved him are welcome. If you would like to honor Barry, consider a donation to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network or Blue Ridge Hospice.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Earlier today

Barry was my Pledge leader at West Virginia Beta Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity. To me he was the face of the fraternity. A dedicated student, great friend, a fine example of what a person should be. I am very fortunate to have known Barry. I am truly sorry that he didn´t live to a ripe old age. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and all of his friends.

Back in the day, I was an Sig Ep Little Sister and Barry was one of the nicest and most thoughtful young men I met in all of my WVU days! I´m heartbroken to hear of his passing. Sending prayers to his family and loved ones.
