Brad,
We have so many memories over 26 years of friendship. No matter how long we would go without seeing each other you would always greet me with a hug and a smile and we could always talk like no time had passed. My most recent memory is you working at my house over the summer and the pride and joy in your eyes as you told me all about your kids and how proud you were of each one. You will be missed more than you can imagine.

To Brads family... I can't even begin to imagine your heart break. Hopefully you can find some comfort in knowing how many people cared for him. I keep you all in my most sincere thoughts and prayers.

Brad will forever remain in my heart as brother. Always there to listen and give me sound advice. I can not say enough good things about him. From friendship of 30 plus years to the incredible man and Father he was. He loved his children fiercely and they were his world and number one priority. He was loyal to a fault and would give the shirt off his back to help anyone. I will not say goodbye brother from another mother. I will say until we see each other again. Always in my heart is where I will keep you brother and friend.
