Bryan L. Finley of Framingham, formerly of Newton, passed away peacefully on October 1, 2026. He was the beloved husband of Marybeth (Kivlehan) Finley. Devoted father of Chery Finley of Framingham and Bryan D. Finley and his wife, Erica, of Bridgewater. Dear brother of David Finley and his wife, Betty, of Leominster, and the late Bruce Finley. Brother-in-law of Bonnie Finley of Millis. Loving Papa of Jameson Finley. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
Bryan enjoyed many things in life, especially golf and being a huge Patriots fan. He cherished the years spent coaching his children in youth sports and making memories with his family on vacations to Cape Cod. He loved a good pizza and would never turn down an opportunity to go to Kowloon.
One of the simple pleasures Bryan enjoyed most was sitting on the back deck, whistling to the birds—and listening as they whistled back.
After his grandson, Jameson, was born, Bryan found a new favorite way to spend his Sundays. He loved his weekly visits with Jameson, reading to him, playing with him, and, most of all, sharing his love of Monster Trucks. Those Sunday visits were something he looked forward to and treasured deeply.
Bryan will be remembered for his love of family, his sense of humor, and the many simple moments that brought him happiness. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Visiting Hours will be held at the William J. Gormley Funeral Home, 2055 Centre St., West Roxbury, on Thursday, October 8th, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., followed by a Funeral Service at 6:30 p.m. in the Funeral Home. Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend. Interment Private.
