Today through Australian Open I learned of Brads passing from MND. I went to primary school with Brad and he was in my class. Brad was a natural with a gift of being a handsome young man. The girls thought Brad was it! At sport lessons on the tennis court Brad was a natural and his talent clearly showed at that early age.
I am pleased to read Brad reached the heights of tennis and related positions in tennis business.
My condolences go to Brads family.

I was very sad to read of Brad's death. We went to KHHS and enjoyed schoolies at Tiki Village. He was playing tennis of course in Brisbane. A lovely man. My condolences to his family.

It is sad that Brad died of a motor neuron disease. Brad was the star in my year 7 PE class at Killarney Heights High School in 1971. He was as tall as me, a strong lad and talented. He was also very popular and a natural leader. We often had competitions over the years in various activities and I was always impressed with his skill and determination. We all knew he was going to do well in tennis. He did, too, and told me one day he would help me out financially! He reached #34 in the world which was an excellent achievement. Later he ran a gym in Darling Harbour and we talked about it at a school reunion. Hearing that my best ever year 7 student ended up crippled by such a disease was a shock. It is sad to lose a man like that in the prime of his life and I am sure his family and friends will miss him dearly.

I worked on the Volvo Grand Prix when Brad was a player on the Tour, long before his success off the court at the ATP. I remember him as the nicest, kindest player on the Tour. I will never forgot his infectious smile and good humor, and how he treated everyone equally. My condolences to his family, but especially his young children. They can take some small comfort in knowing what a remarkable person their father was.

"To Brad's family: I am so saddened by the loss of such a great man and send you my prayers to get through this difficult time. I want you to know that I admired and respect Brad immensely for what he did with his life, his talents, and his ambition to become a world-class athlete, business man, unofficial global ambassador, professional role model, and father. Right to the end of his too-short life, he was courageous, living life fully, proactively and doing his part to enrich this world with his gifts. Most of all, Brad was an incredible human being, full of humility, positivity and vision. He was loved by more people than you will ever know. Thank you to Brad's family, Jo, his children for sharing such a great man with the world whose legacy will live on in the tennis world and in our hearts."

Sincere condolences to Brad's family - Brad was my best mate in year 2 at Frenchs Forest PS and then again in Year 6 at Killarney Heights PS. He was the best sportsman and the nicest guy to go with it. He was at every school reunion from the great 1976 Killarney Heights High School year 12! Brad was the quintessential Aussie (top) bloke with a heart of gold and will be sorely missed.. cheers Brimmers
