David A. Bradburn

David A. Bradburn, 61, of South Bend bravely fought until his passing Wednesday morning, October 29, 2025, at his home with family by his side. He was born in South Bend on Jan. 13, 1964, to the late Gary and Inge (Saage) Bradburn.

Surviving is his son John Zeitler (Cierra Liska) of South Bend, their son Tanner Zeitler, brother Steven (Charlene) Bradburn of South Bend, and niece Cheryl Farley. Along with his parents he was preceded in death by a brother, Heiner Bradburn.

David served his community as a gifted automotive detailer for the Tom Naquin Auto Family for many years. His passion for cars extended past his professional work as David had a passion for classic cars, attending car shows and building models with Tanner. When his health allowed, he loved riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle and laughing with family and friends over memories around the karaoke machine. He was an active member of Forrest Brook Missionary Church in South Bend, but most importantly he loved his family and spending time with them.

Cremation has taken place with no formal services scheduled at this point. To light a virtual candle, share a story of David’s life, or extend a message of comfort to his family, please visit the Guestbook.
