Bradford O. Chamberlain, 72, of DeBary, FL, passed away on September 4, 2025, at Summer Haven Assisted Living after a period of declining health.
Born on June 6, 1953, in West Stewartstown, NH, Brad was the son of the late William and Audrey (Hilliard) Chamberlain.
For more than 20 years, Brad poured his energy into his landscaping business, Phase Landscape, where he took pride in transforming properties and creating beauty that others could enjoy.
Brad had a deep love for the outdoors. Whether riding his bicycle, hiking in the woods, or exploring the Florida landscape with his camera, he was happiest surrounded by nature. Among his many adventures, Brad proudly completed a cross-country journey, riding his bicycle from coast to coast. His photographs of wildlife and scenery reflected his eye for detail and his appreciation of life’s simple moments.
He was predeceased by his sister, Hedy Lynch, and his brothers, William and Gary Chamberlain.
He is survived by his siblings Penny, Dennis, Craig, Steve, Curtis, Barry, Michael, Vincent, and Jeffrey, along with many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
