Julie, I still have a tough time with the right words to say here. I had known Brad since high school when I thought about it. He would be one of my oldest friends really. Having watched him grow over the years its nice to relect sometimes on all that occured. He became a loving husband, father, grandfather and though I never did ask I know he would just about dropped everything to come to my aid if I had asked. He was a special man, and had a great many gifts that came out as he grew and accepted christ in his heart. I will miss him terribly, family gatherings wont be the same with out him. It was my honor to know him.

To the Berntson family,
I had the pleasure of being mentored by Brad when i was a new Detention Deputy at the HC Jail in 1998. I worked with him for two years and grew to know him as a good man and Sgt. I am stunned by his passing. May the Lord bless you and your family during this difficult time.

Dear Julie and children, Brian and family.
We can't express how deeply saddened we are to hear of the loss of such a dear husband, father, brother and friend to so many. Brad's bother Brian and family are dear friends of ours. Every year while visiting our home for "The Lawmen" yearly camp, Brian shared stories of Brad with laughter, love and deep affection. We felt we knew Brad too.
We know Brad will be deeply missed by all. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
May God bless and comfort you with the peace that passes understanding, now and in the days ahead.
Greg and Liz Evensen and "The Lawmen"
