Winchester, NH – Kyle Paul Bradford, passed away peacefully on October 17, 2026, in Winchester, NH, following a brave battle with Huntington’s disease.
Born in Hartford, CT, on April 7, 1959, Kyle graduated from Avon High School in Avon, CT. He honorably served in the US Navy before embarking on a life of reflection, simple pleasures, and endless curiosity about the world around him.
For 20 years, Kyle made his home in Phoenix, AZ, where he fell in love with the beauty of nature. He spent his time exploring the desert, discovering new places, walking about town, and capturing his travels through a camera lens. A peaceful and creative soul, Kyle loved reading books, drawing landscapes, and listening to his beloved Boston Red Sox. He valued staying in touch with family and friends by sending thoughtful handwritten letters and postcards detailing his adventures.
Kyle was kind, thoughtful, and respectful. He possessed a wonderful sense of humor and a heart big enough for everyone he met. Kyle always had a warm smile and hug ready, making everyone feel like a cherished, long-lost friend no matter how much time had passed.
Kyle’s family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated staff at Applewood Center for their compassion, patience, communication, and kindness in caring for Kyle over ten years.
Kyle was predeceased by his loving mother, Judith Crawford; his father, Alsey Frank Bradford; his brother, Christopher Scarcella; and his nephew, Corey Bradford.
He leaves behind a devoted family who will miss him deeply, including his siblings Brenda Bradford, Frank Bradford, Stephan Scarcella, Jennifer Brown, and Lindsay Anderson, step-parents Angelo and Caryn Scarcella, as well as many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
