Daniel "Danny" William Bradley, Sr., a beloved resident of Pasadena, Maryland, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 25th, 2026, at the age of 78. Born on July 13th, 1947, in Baltimore, Maryland, Daniel spent his entire life in the community he cherished.

A devoted husband, father, brother, and friend, Danny is survived by his loving wife of 11 years, Carrie Bradley; his daughter, Daniell Sanchez, and her partner Brendan Vechery; his son, Daniel Bradley, II, and his wife Heather Bradley; step-son, Bryan Whetzel, and step-daughter, Hope Edwards.

He was preceded in death by his father, Clifton Lee Bradley, his mother, Margaret Mary Bradley, and his former wife, Leeanna Bradley.

Danny served his country with honor as a Boatswain Mate in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War and became disabled as a result of his service. A proud veteran, he was a member of the American Legion #175, VFW Post #2462, and the Fleet Reserve in Annapolis.

Known for his love of stewed tomatoes, crabs and half-and-half crab soup, Danny enjoyed fishing, watching MASH, visiting Ft. Smallwood Park, dining with family, and frequenting Fisherman's Inn.
