I met in Brad in 2003. We had just been hired on at a local bank. Very ambitious, intelligent and full of life.. I'm glad we got to be friends. I pray that he finds solace in the heavens; that his hopes and dreams live on. I'll never forget you Brad.

Bradlee was the most incredable young man there was! Robin, you were sooooo lucky to have had the time with him that you did. He will be so deeply missed. God must have needed another "HERO" up in Heaven with him. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and Tyler. God Bless. Amy & Denise

Dear Robin and Tyler,

When I saw Brad laying there on the ground, I immediately ran to administer First Aid. After only a few moments I realized that his injuries were much more serious than I could attend. I did try to keep him calm and prevented him from moving while we waited for the paramedics to arrive. I wish there was something more that I could have done to assist him. I am so sorry for the loss of such a strong and vibrant young man. The prayers of the Bagnasco family are with Robin and Tyler and the Johnson family.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Brad for the past two years and I am thankful that I had at least that! We shared many things in common like our boys (dogs...especially Boozer)! He was the most gentle hearted and caring person I know and I will miss him deeply!

Brad....I can not believe you are gone....you left me way to soon! I miss you!

Love always,

Elena

Robin, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Brad was a great example of all that a person should be. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. While, physically Bradlee is no longer among us, surely the legacy of his warmth, love, generosity and kindness will endure forever!

My heart goes out to the Johnson and True famalies. I enjoyed every minute of time I got to spend with Brad and his family. I had much respect for his father and know he will take care of Brad. I’ve always and will continue to brag of Brad’s strength during his teen years and battles with cancer. He will live on...in my mind forever....

A heart of gold stopped beating. Two shining eyes at rest. God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes the best. God knows you had to leave us, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day He took you home. To us who loved and lost you, the memories will always last.

The best memory I keep of Brad is him riding me around on the pegs of his bike in 8th grade! Smiles.

Best Regards, Theresa
