BRADLEY MITCHELL Obituary

BRADLEY L.B. MITCHELL 51, of Atlanta, Georgia and formerly of Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Passed away on September 26, 2014. Cherished husband of Karen (née McPherson) for 28 years. Much loved father to Jeff and Jason, son to Rick and Barbara Mitchell, brother to Jacqueline (Per) Matthews and uncle to Dylan and Kyle. Brad was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, moving to Ontario as a child. He received his B.A. from the University of Western Ontario and his M.B.A. from McMaster University. He was also a Chartered Accountant. Brad started his accounting and consulting career with Price Waterhouse. From there he joined Canadian health care logistics company Livingston, Inc. After UPS acquired Livingston in 2000, Brad rose to the position of President of UPS Supply Chain Solutions Canada before making the move to Atlanta and becoming President of UPS Global Logistics and Distribution. Brad was a highly respected leader who possessed the ability to motivate and elevate his colleagues through encouragement and respect. He served as a mentor to many people in both his work and personal lives. Brad valued the importance of family above all else, never letting them doubt that they were his highest priority. He will be deeply missed by all those whose lives he touched. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Emory Winship Cancer Institute or the Canadian Cancer Society. The family will receive friends on Wednesday, October 1, 2014 at one o'clock with a memorial service at two o'clock at H.M. Patterson & Son, Arlington Chapel, 173 Allen Rd.

As a young student Brad was a valuable employee of our Family business, Pioneer Family Pools Oakville, in fact he and Karen met while working there.Even at that young age his intelligence, character and work ethic made him stand out from and above the crowd.
We were shocked to say the least at the news of his passing and offer our prayers and sincere condolences to your Family.

I, along many others, worked with Brad and had the privilege of reporting into him and his team in Canada. He was an amazing manager and leader and gave you the ability to believe that you could do anything if you put your mind to it. He lived that committement every day which made all of us better people for it. He truly did make a difference to so many during his life. Thank you for sharing him with us and may God bring you strength during this difficult time. As Brad used to tell me, live for today and commit to doing your best and the future will take care of itself, never give up or settle for second. My family's prayers are with you...

One word I would use to describe brad is he was Inspirational. He inspired us all to be better human beings. He taught us to never give up. He taught us to set a vision and stay the course. Most importantly he taught us that honesty, integrity and taking care of your people will drive you to success. If you take care of your people you can achieve the impossible and nobody did that better than Brad. Thank you Brad for inspiring me to be who i am today. You made us all better...you made me better. We will miss you greatly.
