Im a friend who spent a lot of time with Brad back in school. The group of us often played a game we called "Steven Segal" and we usually played it on a trampoline of all places. There was one night where, I have to admit, Brad delivered an awesome Segal move to my chest and I was on the ground before I knew what happened. It was a terrible experience for me and Brad at the time as I ended up with 2 broken arms but its a funny memory now and I quickly am reminded of how Brad spent the next few months at my house faithfully showing up every morning to keep me and my casts company, play video games with me, and drive me around. He was a kind-hearted friend and he will be missed by all. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and my condolences go out to you and your family.

It was an honor to have known Brad and have him as a friend. He loved hanging out w people. So much so that even if you were broke he would say "come on, I got you". We had some great times together and Brad will be greatly missed. I pray that his family will recieve the closure and peace they deserve. May The Lord comfort them and walk with them through this tragedy.Brad will always shine in our hearts and the memories we cherish of him.

Brad's positive attitude and general friendliness will live on through those who knew him. I'll never forget the days of losing to Brad in "21", causing trouble on Oak Drive (and at WBHS), and just hanging out. I'm so sorry to hear about this.

He was always there in need and one of the most loyal people we have ever known. He will truly be missed by us and our daughters. Our condolences go to the Council family!!
May God see you through these times!!

Robert and Linda,
Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
To suffer such a loss is hard and the questions as to why swirl all about but to lean on Jesus and trust in His wisdom is the best recourse.
My heart goes out to both of you and also to you Eric.

I would like to extend my condolences to The Council family. I have'nt seen Brad in a few years as I have moved to Georgia. I just joined facebook a few weeks ago, Brad was the first one to send me a message saying how he missed hanging out and appreciated my friendship over the years. He thanked me for, in his words, " keeping it real from day 1". I really appreciated that. I'm so glad we got to exchange messages. RIP Brad. Until we meet again.....

We are going to miss Bradley so much. Its hard to explain the pain we are feeling at this moment. I remember Bradley hunting for Easter eggs with my daughter, not because he had to but because he wanted to. He was sweet,loving and a really good friend to all us.I pray that GOD will help us all through this terrible time.

As a young boy Brad would sometimes come by after school on his skateboard and visit with Scott. He was ALWAYS polite and pleasant. I also remember how handsome he looked the night of their junior prom. These are the sweet memories that bring comfort in our saddness. May you be blessed with comfort and peace in your grief.
