LONGMEADOW, MASSACHUSETTS Robert William Bradeen, 50, passed away unexpectedly on October 22, 2025. He was born in North Grafton, Massachusetts on January 10, 1975.
Robert, aka, "Bobofett" or "Bob" to his closest friends and family, was larger than life in so many ways. Bob loved football and hockey and while he loved New England, his 40 years spent living in the Washington, DC area made him a diehard Commanders and Capitals fan. Bob loved technology and anything to do with computers and gaming, even when it would drive him crazy when it didn't work.
Bob made the absolute best burgers; everyone was always excited for, "Bob's burgers." He loved to cook and always made the most delicious food! Bob also loved the beauty in nature and really loved mountains. In recent months he had really enjoyed watching videos of people climbing Mount Everest and would have loved to have made the trip to its base camp.
Bob leaves behind Jennifer Dunlap, his life partner of over 20 years, and their daughter, Julia, for whom he loved deeply and was so unbelievably proud to be her dad.
Please reach out to his family or keep checking back here for details on Bob's Celebration of Life.
