Bradley Manning Dunphy was a native and lifelong resident of Lafayette, Louisiana. He was a graduate of St. Thomas More High School and went on to attend U.S.L. where he was a member of the Kappa Alpha Fraternity. Bradley was a loving husband and father who deeply loved and cherished his wife and daughter and enjoyed spoiling them. He loved the outdoors and boating was one of his passions. Friends and family could often find him at the beach or at the family camp in False River. Bradley was a man of many "never ending" projects. He loved working and tinkering on different projects and never hesitated to lend a friend a hand. He was a very calm and patient soul, non judgmental, very social and never met a stranger. Bradley was the life of the party, "DJ Dunphy", as he was known to friends and family, loved loud music, enjoyed eating crawfish and no crawfish boil was ever hot enough for him. He had a multitude of friends whom he loved, and served in all of their weddings. Bradley will be dearly missed by family, friends and those whose lives he has touched throughout the years.
