David Alan Bradley, 83, of Weirton, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2026, at Weirton Medical Center.

David was born in Steubenville, Ohio, to the late Patrick and Elizabeth (Ralston) Bradley. He was a 1961 graduate of Madonna High School, where he played baseball and met his wife, Carolyn (Majoris) Bradley. They met in class when they were just 16 years old and later married on August 7, 1965. Together, they shared 61 years of marriage.

Following high school, David spent six months on active duty and continued to serve for six years with the Army Reserves. He then began a dedicated career in the print shop at Weirton Steel.

David cherished the simple things in life. He had a love for baseball and softball, which he enjoyed playing for many years. He also dedicated his time to coaching Little League baseball, where he shared his love of the game with generations of young players. He was an unwavering fan of both the Pittsburgh Pirates and Penguins.

David also found great joy in nature and spending time with his beloved dogs.

His family will remember David as a humble and kind man who loved his family with his whole heart. He was selfless, brave, and never one to complain or speak negatively. David appreciated every moment of life and was grateful for all that God had given him.

He was a member of Saint Joseph the Worker Catholic Church of Weirton.

David was preceded in death by his parents.

He will be remembered with love by his wife, Carolyn (Majoris) Bradley; his sons, Mark David Bradley (Brandy Puskarich-Bradley) and Jeffrey Alan (Carol) Bradley; his daughter, Laura Lynn (Rodney) Boniti; his grandchildren, Jonathan Llewellyn, Corey David (Carrie) Bradley, Megan Lynn Boniti, and Rachel Nicole Boniti; his great-grandchildren, Nevaeh, Madalyn, and Matthew Llewellyn; his brother, Denis Bradley; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

  6. My heart goes out to you. It’s something that you you would never like to Face, but memories are strong. I’m sorry for your loss.

  7. Candle Selection 2Dear Carol, Jeff, Mark, Laura, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Grant and I share your sorrow on Dave’s passing. He was a thoughtful and kind neighbor to my parents and a steady and gracious father figure to my son and me. Dave and Carol’s home was a neighborhood hangout place for kids on the street because they understood, appreciated and helped the kids. Dave and Carol’s kindness has cast a long and loving reflection on my family, and I will always be grateful. I hold you in my prayers.

  8. Candle Selection 5Dave Bradley was a beautifully stable, calm influence on my childhood. Because my grandparents lived so close to the Bradley family, I found myself over at their house all the time for years. Looking back, Dave was truly one of the great father figures of my youth. He always had a kind word, a gentle spirit, and a steady presence that served as a wonderful example to me, the neighborhood kids, and especially to his own family. At a time when we all needed positive male role models, he became one of the absolute greats in his own quiet way. Kate and I send our deepest sympathy, love, and condolences to all of the Bradley’s.

  9. SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. I WORKED WITH DAVID IN THE PAYROLL OFFICE. WE WHERE GOOD FRIENDS. GOD BLESS !

  10. Roberta Kearns Taylor says:

    Candle Selection 2Dear Bradley family,
    So very sad to read of ‘Mr. Bradly’s’ passing. I have so many fond memories of him being outside, playing ball in the side yard with us! He taught me how to swing a bat and when! He and ‘Mrs. Bradley’ are at the center of so many happy childhood memories for me and all of the kids on the street. Sorry for the countless messes you’ve must have cleaned up behind our antics. I never heard either of you complain about it and I very much appreciate that now. I’m praying that our Heavenly Father sends the Holy Spirit to fill you with great peace and understanding. Jesus please fill the void with beautiful memories and the joy of knowing we will all meet again. 🙏🏻.
    Love to all,
    Roberta Kearns Taylor, husband Tom and Lydia.

  11. Carol and the entire Bradley Family,
    My heart breaks to hear of your loss. May the goodness of God bring peace to you at this difficult time.
    Many prayers and much love,
    Barb Majoris
