While reading the newspaper I never expected to find Brad's picture in the obituaries until we were in our 90's. I lost contact with Brad for a few years and it just breaks my heart to hear of his loss from this earth. Brad and I dated a couple of times in high school and we always had fun. He was always smiling and making me feel like I was the only girl that mattered. I remember going to Provo with Brad back in high school for a date and we went to Trafalga in Orem. What fun we had, we listened to Air Supply and in fact, Brad let me have that tape. Caroldine, if you read this, I still have that tape and when I see it or hear Air Supply on the radio, I still think of him and smile. If you want that tape back let me know okay? My mother just loved Brad during high school and the times that she saw him at the store. Brad was such a special person and I will sure miss him. May his children always know of his divine love for them. When our time comes, I know that there will be a special party for each and every one of us when we see Brad again with his beautiful smile and personality. Till we meet again.

Mu husband and I worked with Brad for several years and he was an amazing person, who will be greatly missed. When I think about Brad I can't help but think of the tremendous love he had for his children. His face lite up, his eyes twinkled, and his dimples deepened whenever they were the topic of conversation, (which was most of the conversations we had). I remember the last time my husband and I saw Brad which was a couple of weeks ago and he had mentioned that he had an opportunity for a shift and job duty change and when we asked if he was going to take it he simply said no because it would take time away from his children. Little did anyone know just how precious that time would be. The great loss I feel can only be calmed when I realize that I have no doubt Brad is beaming from the heavens now that he gets to watch over his children he adored so much in life, they truly were his greatest treasures. My hearts and prayers go out to all of those who knew and loved Brad, we will all miss him deeply!

Brad spent time at our house before and after his mission. Maybe, its because we had four girls in the house he loved to tease and torment. One time I was at Brads work watching him print some papers and the next thing I knew he had smeared black printing ink all over my face and my "gap" clothes. I couldn't get mad because of the way Brad thought it was so funny. It took me 3 weeks to scrub the ink off. I have so many great "Brad" stories. My life wouldn't have been the same without knowing Brad. He loved life. He always made everyone feel important. I know Brad loved the savior and our heavenly father. Brad taught me many great lessons. I appreciate his sister Carolyn for allowing Brad to come into my life.

I am so sorry to hear about Brad. I met him many years ago when he first came to work at Excel Graphics before he went on his mission and also for some years after his mission.

He always had a smile and was always interested in talking with me. I very much enjoyed my friendship with him.

As I was thinking of him, I remembered something that may seem trivial to some but not to me and it was so Brad. One day at work I noticed that one of my earrings was missing from my ear. It was a semi-large silver post earring and it was my favorite. I was back tracking through the shop trying to see if I could find it. I was looking around the area by the press Brad was working on and he came over to ask what I was looking for. I told him and he said he would keep his eyes open for it. Why would a guy care about some stupid earring, but Brad did and sometime later he came into my cubicle and opened his hand and said "Is this what you are looking for? " He had found my earring, a small thing it may seem but to me a big thing. That is who Brad is, he cared about everyone and everything.

I worked with his brother-in-law Bryan Graham and knew his sister Carolyn and enjoyed their friendship.
My heart goes out to them, I lost my husband Phil to brain cancer 11 months ago and know of the pain and grief and sorrow that is beyond bearing, It is so difficult to lose a loved one.

Bryan & Carolyn--my love and condolences to you, I will not be able to make it to the funeral but I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

We remember Brad from him staying at Carolyn's house and coming over to visit our family. He had a wonderful personality and was a joy to be around. There are four girls in our family and we all talked about his good looks and charming smile. Carolyn, we are sorry for your loss and send our condolences.

Brad was a rare individual. He was kind and generous and could always find something positive about anyone or any situation. He was a blessing to everyone he came in contact with. Although it is sad for his family and friends that he is gone, I truly believe the Heavenly Father called him home for a greater purpose that he had here on earth. He is truly where there is no pain, and there is only love. There is certainly a party in heaven as Brad is welcomed home from a job well done on earth.
Now his real mission starts. May his family and friends find comfort that he is is the arms of Our Heavenly Father. He is safe.

I only met Brad a few times and knew him better through his nieces and nephews. Brad was so special in many ways, from his warm smile to special spirit I am blessed to have known him.
