David Irvin Bradley passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 25, 2024 at age 63.
David will be lovingly remembered by his daughters, Kiersten (Anthony) and Danika (Steven), and his grandchildren, Chase and Mackenzie. He was the beloved son of the late Irvin Albert Bradley and the late Marion Effie MacLeod. He was a lifelong Toronto Maple Leafs and Journey fan.
A grave-side service will be held in Malvern Cemetery (75 Chem. Moulton Hill, Sherbrooke, QC J1M 0A7) at 11:00 am on Saturday, September 28th, 2024, followed by a celebration of life with refreshments at the ANAF Unit #318 (aka "The Hut") at 12:00 pm.
The family would like to extend their gratitude to Tyler Wilson for all that help he provided to Dave over the years.
Dave defied the odds and lived with ALS for 27 years. Donations made during the Ice Bucket Challenge “dramatically accelerated the fight against ALS”. In lieu of flowers (which Dave hated), please consider donating to the Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital or the ALS Society of Canada.

Where to start...to say 'Bradley was a character' is an understatement. Knew him at Sherbrooke Elementary and Galt. Tough and hilarious: I'm sitting at Galt library reading a magazine. Bradley sits beside me, holds the magazine in front of his face, eyes me from the side, whispers the drug deal, "You got the stuff?"
Downtown Lennoxville, Bradley cruising in the passenger seat of the old black Plymouth with wings: "Na na nana nana, Batman!"
Pick-up basketball one evening Galt gym: Bradley eyes 6' 7" Scott Coote, "I'll take Kareem". Bradley memories live on. Didn't you were battling ALS; you're even tougher than I thought. Be well with peace.

With deepest sympathy from my husband Pat Poulin (he played hockey with Dave at Alexander Galt) and myself April Morrison Poulin. We used to visit Dave often in sawyerville. Your dad called me when he heard years ago that my dad was diagnosed with ALS also. I always appreciated his thoughtfulness ️Our hearts are with you at this sad time️️

Despite dealing with innumerable challenges over the past few years, your Dad never lost his gift for putting friends at ease by making them laugh. Hopefully he and Irv will be looking down and smiling when their beloved Leafs finally hoist the Cup once again (although I wouldn't bet on that happening any time soon). Condolences on the loss of your Dad.

My deepest sympathy. I enjoyed his company when I did his errands and housework. He was pleasant to be around. He had a sense of humour in spite of all he was going through.

RIP Dave. The Maple Leafs have lost their biggest fan. You certainly were a fighter right up to the end. You certainly will be missed by everyone who had the good fortune to know you.
May my support warm your heart
