You made such a great impact on so many lives in the short 18 years that you were here! You were such a bright/happy person and people loved being around you. You had so many friends because you didn't care about who was in what "clique", you talked to everyone.. We're all going to miss you and the laughter and smiles you would bring to our faces. Rest easy Brad.. we'll never forget you.
