Bradley Rasha Obituary

1960 - 2025

Bradley Rasha, 65, of New London, passed away unexpectedly after a brief illness on Tuesday, December 2, 2025. He was born on May 22, 1960, in Rome, NY, the son of the late Kenneth R. Rasha and Mona Davis Rasha. On November 24, 2013, he was united in marriage to Bihong Cai in the New London United Methodist Church.

Brad graduated from Rome Free Academy in 1979, majoring in Industrial Arts. In 1980 he attended Madison Oneida BOCES and earned a CDL Class A Drivers License.

He remodeled his house and could do his own repair work when needed. He cut and sold firewood from his wooded property. For five years he was the owner and operator of Sleepy Hollow Sealcoating.
