Brad Ripley

Brad was an amazing friend to our family and was always there to lend a hand and a smile. He was great with our kids when they were growing up and never seemed to get tired of them climbing all over him. He was a great man and will be missed by many.

Brad and I haven't seen each other in 18 yrs. We were a young couple in love in the late 80's, and were together for almost 4 yrs. We had alot of special times together, ones that I will never forget. Everyone keeps referring to his smile, thats the first thing I see in my head when I think of Brad and I'll hold that and him in my heart forever.

I rode motorcycle with brad to sturgis he also came to rochester and rode with us on fun run, brad was a great safe biker,i will never forget the times we had in sturgis together,brad would do anything for anyone,you will never be forgotten brad. Ride on my friend Ride on.

It was quite a shock to hear about the tragedy that took such a nice guy away from the world. It has been many, many years since I have seen Brad, but I remember him kindly. He was a nice, genuine, down to earth guy and will be sorely missed by everyone who had the privilege in meeting him, and by more who got to know him.

This should be a celebration of his life and I'm sure it will be.

To family and friends, my sincere sympathies.

My thoughts are with Brad's family at this time of loss. I graduated with Brad and went to Jr Prom with him. He was always fun to be around and was willing to share his smile with anyone who needed it. You will always live on in our memories

I remember spending lots of time on the Ripley farm since our back driveways practically intersected. I remember the time when Brad talked me into cutting the cab off my favorite toy IH tractor because "Real farmers don't have cabs". I still have that tractor today and I think about that every time I see it. Whether it was 4-H or Christmas programs at the Bass Lake Church Brad always had a smile on his face. The last time I saw him was a few years ago in Mapleton with my folks and the smile...

Brad and I worked together at River Valley for 8 years. He always had a smile on his face and was a great deal of fun to hang around with. He will be missed. I am glad to have had the oportunity to know him.

Ripley family, am so sorry to learn of Brad death, he was a wonderful person. Brad stop by many times to visit with my parents and Albert too
I wish I could come to the sevice but I will be out of town, but my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Brad will be greatly missed by many.
