Paul Harris Bradley

Paul Harris Bradley, 38, passed away in his sleep on September 6, 2024, due to ongoing health issues. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, to parents, S. Robert and Lonnie, Paul was the youngest child of seven. He enjoyed five older brothers—Josh, Michael, Christian, John, and James, and one beloved sister, Kate.

Paul was complicated, honest, intellectual, and wonderfully bright. Well-read and up-to-date on innumerable issues, he knew something intriguing to add to any topic of conversation. We enjoyed his strong opinions, his wry sense of humor, and his clever one-liners.

Paul enjoyed sharing new interests that came along throughout his life such as his Dance Dance Revolution pad that brought everyone together dancing and his virtual reality goggles that introduced us to a whole new reality. Paul always had something interesting to share, be it a book, movie, game, or new technology.

Paul was an Eagle Scout and served an LDS mission in New York City. He worked at Convergys and then at A.C.E.S. until his best friend, Pierce Arner, encouraged him to work for Instructure, a company that offers the Canvas learning and education system worldwide. It was a perfect fit for Paul’s technological and teaching skills.

Paul recently celebrated his 10-year anniversary at Instructure where he enjoyed working as a Level-3 support engineer. He loved his team and was well-respected for his ability to create and share Internet browser-based tools that more efficiently solved problems. His creative talents had a positive impact, not only on Instructure’s employees, but on teachers and students around the world.

Paul's legacy of brilliance and generosity will live on forever in our hearts and for those who knew him. We love you, dear Paul, and we will miss you. Thank you for blessing our lives.

For those who knew Paul, we are having a drop-in Memorial at our home on Saturday, September 28, from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
