Bradley C. Smith

COLEBROOK – Bradley C. Smith, 79, of Colebrook, died on Tuesday evening, Jan. 27, 2026, at the Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital after a sudden illness.

He was born on Nov. 6, 1946, in West Stewartstown, the youngest son of the late Lynn and Helen (Jackson) Smith. Bradley attended the local schools in Colebrook, and then went to work as a woodsman. He was not able to continue that career for very long due to health issues that he carried with him for the rest of his life.

Bradley loved to fish, especially at Fish Pond in Columbia. He was a very social person, who loved to visit with his family and friends, and he was known to be flirt. Even though mobility was a challenge for him, Brad walked every day from his home at Monadnock Village to the Colebrook House of Pizza; he was a very familiar face on Main Street and a fixture around town. Although tough and stubborn, he will be remembered by his friends and family as so very kind and sweet, and he will be missed by many.

Bradley was never married, but he is survived by numerous nieces and nephews, both local and scattered throughout the country. He has one surviving sibling, Sharene Fox of Florida. He is predeceased by four siblings: Lincoln and Benjamin Smith, Judy Potter, and Dorothy Smith.

There are no public calling hours. The family will have a celebration of Bradley's life on a later date of which notice will be given.

Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook.
