Bradley Scobie Obituary

"Some gifts last a lifetime, even if they only stay with us a short time."
Bradley Orlando Scobie was called to be one of God's angels on Sunday, December 11, 2005, in Austin, TX. He was born November 25, 1989, in Austin, TX and moved to Toledo with his mother where he lived for 10 years. He attended Harvard Elementary School, Wernert and Jefferson Jr. High. Bradley was well-liked and had many friends.
Left behind with a broken heart are his mother, Karen Orlando; father, Gary Scobie, brother, Jason Scobie and sisters, Kim White and Samantha Scobie. He will be missed dearly by special friends, Bill Cready and Kristin Cready, along with many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Though Bradley was only on this earth for 16 short years, we will cherish every moment we had with him. There will be a memorial service Saturday, December 17, 2005 at Cook-Walden/Chapel of the Hills, 9700 Anderson Mill Rd., Austin, TX 78750 at 2 p.m.The family asks that contributions in lieu of flowers be made to the Alzheimer's Association in memory of his grandmother, Charlotte Orlando.

Brad and I were good friends. It was a spur of the moment accident. We talked the day or two before the accident. The day I go to get online I get this offline saying Brad was in a car accident and didnt make it. I was so upset. After awhile I talked to his mom and I am close with her like I was with Brad. We about anything and everything like Brad and I did. I'll never forget him he is always in my heart and prayers as for the family is too. We Miss You Brad...we'll be together soon..I promise.

you are very loved and missed by your Mom and Dad, family and friends. It is sad to see your Mom in so much pain all the time. I have been with her since the day of the accident until yesterday{the 22nd} and she thinks of you constantly. Her heart is broken but, knows she needs to go on with her life as best as she can and does it knowing you are always with her in her heart and memories. All of us know you are in good company and being taken care

of. You will always be in our hearts and memories and thought of as the good kid you were. Karen and Gary if you need me for anything, I am always here for you. Stay strong for each other. Love you little sister.

Karen,I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Hope you are doing OK. I had a similar loss with my brother. After 20 years there isn't a day goes by that I don't think about him. All you can do is stay strong and keep on going. Keep friends and family close, it will get easier it just takes time.

Dear Karen:

My deepest sympathy for your great loss. Words cannot fill the great void Bradley's death has left in your heart and in your life. May the love and support of all of your family and friends help you through this very difficult time.

Bradley,

The words over the phone told me of the accident but they did not sink in...it couldn't be. It was true. Memories of when you were a baby came rushing back--when David and I went to visit you, Karen and Gary in Texas. Those memories will remain strong and untarnished in my heart and mind forever. You are now walking in a good light and you are free of wordly stress. I can only hope that you reach out to your mom and let her know that you're okay. Her greiving is appropriate but she still needs to know that you're there and by her side.

Karen,

I love you. My heart breaks for you. Being that I am not yet a parent I cannot know the sorrow of losing a child (or even the possibility.) Share the best memories of Brad with those around you and you will see that he has touched lives in a very positive manner. Have others share their moments of Bradley with you as well. At this moment he his looking down upon you, loving you, and has no pain or anguish. Strengthen yourself with the love and support of those around you. You are an amazing person whom I love and miss.

Sincerely,

Angela

Gary and Karen,

I wish I had some words of wisdom to offer you, but I don't. Like LuAnn and Donna said, at least you know Bradley is in good hands. I'm sure Mom will keep him on the right track, and giving him tons of kisses. The loss of a child has to be the hardest thing in the world to handle or understand. I wish I could be there all the time to try and help you through this very tough time, but please know my heart is with you both. I'm here when ever you need me.

Love you both,

Pam

Dear Karen,

I wish I knew all the right words to say,but the thing I do no is God will only give us what we are strong enough for and i know you are a very strong woman.Bradley will be missed by so many others and those others are here for you.We all love you so much and you are in many prayers.

Love cousin Stephanie

Brad, when I first held you in my arms 16yrs ago I understood what unconditional love means. You were the love of my life,and always will be and all I could do was pray to God that no one would ever hurt you. You were such an out going, loving child, you made everyone smile. You were so happy, you was so loved. I remember you asking me to sing that song to you "you are my sunshine, my only sunshine" I sang it to you again as I was losing you, my sunshine was taken away. It's not suppose to happen this way, I was suppose to go first. I miss you so much, I want to see you graduate and go to college, you wanted to go where your brother went, you adored and loved him so much. As I did you. I'll never get to know what you would have done with your life, you had so much potential. I know a lot of people

miss you and love you, but I'm your Mom, I don't know of a greater love than a love of a parent. You are the only child I gave birth to, I'm so lost. The love, thoughts, and prayers of family and friends is whats keeping me going right now. I think of you constantly, my heart is broken, but your memory lives on in my mind, and whats left of my heart. I love you baby, forever and

ever. Mom

Karen and Family - It's so difficult at this time of mourning to not ask "why." How can we create something so beautiful to carry our legacy beyond our years on this earth and have it taken away so soon? God has a plan for all of us, we must have faith, because our loved ones never truly leave us, they remain in our hearts forever. Honor his death by living your life, remain strong, and love stronger. We are always here for you Karen, we love you so much. Rest in Peace Cousin.

My prayers and thoughts are with you. I can only smile when I think of Bradley meeting my Mom (Aunt Isy) in "that big kitchen above" and her ready with her famous meatballs & Grandma Orlando & your Mom & Dad sitting at the table with my Dad waiting to share that wonderful place with you son! I'm sure they were all there to welcome him and make him feel at home! Please know that you are in my heart - if there is anything you need just email me or call...

Love, Phyllis

Karen and Gary,

What can I say that hasn't already been said! Ever since I heard of your loss I have prayed for strength for you and your family. I remember enjoying talking with Bradley about family, school and his hobbies at different times. You know at that age kids sometimes have difficulty in expressing themselves, but for some reason Bradley and I connected and he spoke openly to me. That meant a lot to me and I will never forget him. He is one of those special people that God puts in our lives.

LuAnn & Donna

December 26, 2005

Dear Gary & Karen,

No words can express the sorrow that we feel in our hearts. The loss of Brad has created yet another void in our lives. May thoughts of Brad being in the arms of our loving angels (Mom, Dad, Nana, Bumpo, Charlotte & Marilyn) bring some comfort. Brad will be deeply missed but the sweet memories of his life (e.g. riding the boogey board and SeaDoo), his gorgeous blue eyes and his dimpled smile will live on in us forever.

All our LOVE!

Brad...I miss you so much. Christmas isn't the same without you here. We made Christmas cookies yesterday and I felt you here with us. We were remembering all the times through the years that you sat here and decorated with us. (and all the times you would sneak cookies off the table when you had been told "No more until after dinner!") I remembered all the times we baked together and how I'd have to chase you and Jason or Samantha out of the kitchen because you were all tag-teaming me to steal cookie dough from the bowl. As the oldest sibling I hope you realize that it was my job to torture my sister and brothers. My favorite game with you was "I think Brad needs a Hug!" It seemed the most fun when we first started the game; Larry and I would chase you around the house to catch you in big bear hugs. In the last few years you became "too cool" for this game and we didn't have to chase you anymore. But, this was actually the most rewarding time for us to play the game. I loved hugging on you while you sat at the computer and then watched for your secret smile afterwards. I knew, that you knew, that we loved you; even though you were way too cool to say so.

I know that you are at peace now. I know that you are with God and with my Mom in Heaven. Dad said it best, telling us that death is only painful for the people left behind. The people who have gone on ahead of us are in a wonderful place. But, I miss you so much. There is an empty place in my heart now, where all of the memories of you growing older are supposed to be. All of the memories of the times with your nieces & nephews that you'll never have, all of the girls you won't date and the one you finally marry and your children that I'll never know. I miss all of those experiences for you and with you, already. But, I know I'll see you again some day. I know that we'll all be reunited in Heaven. I hope that Heaven has lots of cookies and hugs.

Love always,

Kim

Met you 16 yrs ago and fell in love with you imediatly. As a youngster

with your laughter and energy you ownd evry one in site. The one you owned

more than any one was your big bro.There is no question that the two of

you hit it off better than anyone here on earth. Speaking from a brother

and knowing how bros feel I felt you two had a special bond. His feeling

for you can not even come close to what you thought they where. Your mom

as you know is having a very very tough time. Your sisters also are

having a tough time but their kids help in their suffering.Know we come to

me. Your mom cries, your sisters cry, your brother grieves, I rejoice. You

are with God. You are where I want to be. You are where I hope I will be.

You are with my mom dad and, Karens mom and dad, most of all you are with

Marilyn who loved you so much on earth. I know she was there to accept

you. I love you Brad, I miss you Brad, But most of all I am happy for you

Bradley Orlando Scobie you are in the arms of God. I love you. Dad

Dear family,

He was a great person.I knew Brad, or "Tiger Eyes" as I would call him, from Playland. Every weekend he would be there, smiling, skating, having a great time. Though last weekend was the first time I had actually talked to him, the time we spent that day I will cherish forever. It's so sad that he was lost so soon.

My love and sympathy,

Im very sorry to hear that Bradley Scobie has passed away. I was a classmate of his at Harvard Elementary. He was a great kid who had a great outlook on life and his future. He is now in God's hands and God's hands are there for Bradley for which he was a classmate of mine and a part of my childhood. Bradley and as well as the Scobie family will be in my prayers.

Dear Scobie Family,

I am so very sorry on your loss. I can't imagine how you are feeling but when I found out that Bradley had past I was beside myself. I also went to Harvard Elementry and was very fortunate to get to know your son. I have not been able to see or talk to him in a long time but from what I remember he was a very lively young boy. I do not exactly know what to say but that I am very sorry and I don't know why he past away, but I do know that he is in God's hands and will be taken good care of.
