Bradley,
I never was able to see much of you after I left Roanoke. I spent almost everyday with you and your brother Justin, Mark and Karen for 5 years from 95'-2000' . We were just a bunch of crazy young kids at that time. I remember getting you into skateboarding, and going to Wasena Salem skatepark. We used to run around Roanoke city boarding also, they were such great times. We used to run around North Lakes at night lighting fireworks off and terrorizing the hood. :) You always had a way about you that would take any path untraveled and light up anyones face. Sometimes I wish that I could have stayed in Roanoke and still had some fun times. I tend to think about you from time to time, and know that you travel with us every step of the way for our crazy new adventures. I miss you brother, and will see you soon again.

In case you all don't know, Karen passed last Monday early in the am on Aug 16. Justin and Linny were there in her room in Charlottesville at UVA Hospital.I do believe she and my Mom are with Smalls in Heaven. Please Pray for them each day (they like that up there!) and pray for Allan and Nancy Dowdy, her parents in Roanoke. She loves Brad and Justin more than anythingLife. Thanks and God Bless You All -Mark

Everytime I hear Tiny Dancer or Anyone else but you, I think of us singing them at the top of our lungs as we were driving down the mountain back to Roanoke. You were really a special guy Bradley. Sometimes angry and confused, but always an original. You said,"Don't fade", and I won't.

Hey Brad, I love you SO Much and Miss You each Day! I play Against Me, and Leftover Crack and Rancid and think of you and what you're doing. I know it's different over there but am thankful there is stuff for you to do. I just want to understand it SO BAD it hurts me to NOT know why but I believe Someday I will. I will try and take care of all those you love while you are gone. Say Hey to my Mom and tell her I Love and Miss Her too! Until then I will "just do my best" and try and get by till I'm with you- Love Dad

Hello and God Bless All. It was the first Day of Spring without Bradley or my Mom and it feels so empty.I have read all of the Books by "George Anderson" and have learned that they are Okay and know we miss them. Also the main thing is that we continue to Pray for them each and every day. Please feel free to pray for any and all of those you may know on the other side. Thanks and God Bless all who can help me with this. I love you- Mark

Hello and GOD BLESS to ALL, my Mother Ruth E. McCown(Bradley's Grandmother) went to be with Our Lord last Friday. I was on the way to see her but I got there too late. I spent some time with her and told her to let Bradley know how much I miss him. Karen and I went to his gravesite and we are working on a marker for his grave. I think we will have some type of ceremony when we get it-at his gravesite. I just wanted to THANK everyone again for all their prayers of Love and Kindness during these most difficult times- thanks and God Bless- Mark

Sometimes it's hard to understand, why things happen as they do especially when you lose a child to death. Although I have never met the family I was sorry to read Bradley fell asleep in death. It will be particularly hard for you dear mother and difficult for the bereaved father as well. Don't be afraid to cry shedding tears of grief appears to be a necessary part of the healing process You may find that for a time your emotions will be somewhat unpredictable tears may flow without much advance warning be patient with yourself. The Bible assures us: “God is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34:18)
With sincere sympathy may these understanding thoughts help somehow to convey the sympathy that hearts can feel but words can never say.

Smalls,
You mean so much to me... I can remember the first time I met you, and I'll never forget all the good times we had growing up. When I think of my adolesence...you were right there with me. Hangig out during the summer, skipping school together, going to shows...The day I got my drivers licence, you were the first person I went to pick up. I love you Bradley. There will never be another person on the face of this Earth like you.

Karen, Mark and Justin,
Our hearts are heavy with sadness for your precious loss. Let the seeds Bradley planted in your lives continue to flourish in his beautiful memory especially through the beautiful moments locked in his smile. God, family, friends, time and cherished reflections will help the heart to heal. We remember the times Arthur and Justin played together during their younger school days.....Bradley was always right there in the middle with them both....they loved it and they gave little Bradley a hard time with fun and laughter - but he was tough and dished it right back at Arthur and Justin. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with each of you and your families during this difficult time. Bradley is at peace in heaven ....hopefully you will find peace in time.
God bless, With our love,
Ann and Arthur Dyer

I'm so sorry to hear of you loss. My daughter, Lauren and her boyfriend Nick, were friends of smalls. Although I never meet smalls, I heard Lauren and Nick talk about him all the time. They really thought he was something. Nick would pick Lauren up and say,"mom, we're going to smalls house." I never new his real name until now. Bradley, you will be missed.

Justin, Mark, and Karen,
Some of my earliest and most cherished memories were the times that I spent on Shadow Lane with all of you. You were an amazing second family and all of you helped me grow up so much. I can still remember getting off the bus at your house each day 15 years ago.
Bradley and I grew up together in every sense of the term. I know that my parents always thought of Bradley as a second son, and I cannot put how much of an impact he had on me into words. He was the first friend that I made in Roanoke, and the two of us were close for so many years. Even as we lost touch, Bradley Schmidt will always remain as one of the best friends that I have ever had.
I am so sorry for your loss. And may you always rest in peace Bradley, I know I will always miss you and cherish all of the fun we had together.
Sophia Pizzamiglio

Bradley, You always brought sunshine into the room, no matter where you were and that means more to us than anyone will ever know. Everyone is going to miss you and your amazing spirit.

November 3, 2009
Smalls,
I remember the 1st time I met you and every time after that you were the most energetic and fun-loving person. You always had a way with words to make people smile and laugh. You will be truly missed and forever loved by all those who knew you. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May your soul rest in peace.

Where to begin....I've known you since you were born...when you were little your mom called you a little bird because of the faces you made...even then you liked to make people laugh...and that stayed true even to the end. The year I stayed with your family, you would have me holding my side from laughing so hard...Smalls...You will truly be missed...

Bradley- I know you were never at my house to see me and all but you became family man. You were like a brother to me. I can't believe you're actually gone and I won't ever get to see you again. May you rest in peace and soar through the clouds. You may be gone, but loved by many left and no one can EVER forget you. We love you all Smalls! Karen, Mark, Justin and everyone else this has affected, you are all in my prayers and thoughts. We'll all make it through this. Love you Bradley!!
