Hello, I knew Brad through a professional affiliation he and I shared. My times with Brad were few but precious. I will remember him as somebody who always uplifted those he spent time with. Brad was someone who was optimistic and always made you feel better about yourself after talking with him.

I am very sorry and saddened by his loss as I am sure those who were fortunate enough to know him are as well. Although he is missed, I know he would want those who cared for him and loved him to move on and live the best life they can.

His lesson learned of a living a life that was too short, should not be lost on all of us. Brad's loss will inspire me for one to live each day as if it were my last. Carpe Diem.

Brad I love you & miss you so much; you were my heart, my soul, my life, my best friend and my husband. I still expect to see you come home after work and wake up with me in the morning; I feel like I can barely breathe since the day that you passed. I know God had His reason for taking you home so soon and so suddenly, just remember to save me a place by you. You'll never leave my heart even though I can't hold you in my arms anymore. I'll see you soon babe.
