Dana Paul Bradley

Dana Paul Bradley 60, passed away on August 24, 2025, in Westford, Massachusetts. Born on November 27, 1964, in Groton Massachusetts, Dana lived a life marked by meaningful connections and curiosity for the world around him.

A graduate of Lunenburg High School, Class of 1982, Dana began his career at Quebecor Printing Eusey Press in Leominster. There, he developed his professional skills and formed enduring friendships. He later pursued his passion for mechanics by working in several automotive shops throughout the area, where his dedication and great sense of humor left a lasting impression.

Dana found joy in both adventure and companionship. He cherished time spent with friends and family, often filling weekends with laughter and get togethers. A lover of the outdoors, he enjoyed hiking with his brother and nephew, camping, mountain biking, and fishing—activities that brought him peace and joy. He also liked to dabble in making comfort food. We will continue to miss his family famous chili and the broccoli casserole recipe that we still cannot replicate.

His enthusiasm for speed was evident in his lifelong love of fast driving and NASCAR. One of his proudest achievements was building and racing his own car at Monadnock Speedway. Music also held a special place in Dana’s life; he could often be found practicing his guitar.

Dana was the beloved son of David and Virginia Bradley. He is lovingly remembered by his sister Lisa Milbert and her husband James; his brother David S. Bradley; his daughters Jennifer Reichelt and her husband Brian, and Alicia Bradley and her fiancé Nick Lessard; and his grandchildren Dax and Violet Lessard.

He also leaves behind nieces and nephews who brought joy and love to his life: Leanne Needham (Michael, their daughters Caroline and Kate), Jessica Fredericks (Kevin, their daughter Charlee), Tyler Milbert (Kenna, sons Duke and Kaemyn), Thomas Milbert, Levi Bradley (Celene LeMarca, their daughter Willow), and Quinn Bradley.

Dana’s kind heart, self deprecating humor, big smile, and unforgettable laugh will be deeply missed. We are thankful that his body and mind can now rest peacefully, restored.

A private service for family and friends will be held at Westlawn Cemetery in Littleton, MA
