Kevin R. Gallagher, 69, of Bradford passed away Thursday, June 26, 2025.

Born Feb. 27, 1956, in Bradford, he was a son of the late James P. and Marjorie Swarm Gallagher.

He was a 1974 graduate of Bradford Area High School and earned a petroleum engineering degree from the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.

Kevin drove a bread route for Pepperidge Farm and later worked as a well tender for Minard Run Oil Co.

He enjoyed hunting and a good pickup game of basketball. Some things that brought him joy were attending World War II air shows with his father, skeet shooting at the Bradford Gun Club, and meeting up with friends at Viola’s. Kevin also liked to drive out to Willow Bay and swim. He was a gentle giant who was loved by everybody.

Surviving are one sister, Wendy Ann Gallagher of Bradford; one brother, Stephen (Nancy Brown) Gallagher of Lake Worth, Fla.; three nieces and nephews, Kristen, Anna and Sean; and five great-nieces and great-nephews, CJ, Cole, Christian, Ariyah and Parker.

Friends are invited to attend a celebration of Kevin’s life to be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 26, 2025, at the Bradford Club.

Memorial contributions, if desired, may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice.
