Darwin Dale Bradshaw
August 3, 1958 – October 17, 2025
FROM LEE SHADWICK
On October 17, 2025, the love of my life, Dale Bradshaw, became an angel after a brave multi-year battle with stage 4 cancer.
His life was so vibrant and colorful, and you may learn more about him from his Obituary:
HERE

We invite you to join us for Dale’s Grand Celebration of Life on January 10, 2026, at 2 p.m.,
at the Manassas Park Community Center, 99 Adams Street, Manassas Park, VA.

Attire: Formal—crowns, banners, sequins, and all the sparkle Dale adored are welcomed as we bid him farewell to heaven with the pageantry he so richly deserves.
The service will be followed by a Dessert Reception and fellowship.
In lieu of flowers, you may support the Celebration of Life and assist with expenses by contributing:

And we would be honored to include your photos in the Celebration of Life.
Please upload them to our google drive:

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your love, support, and for helping us celebrate Dale in the way he would have wanted—full of grace, glitter, and gratitude.
All My Love, Lee
