Dear Bernie, Kenny, Kim and family, Kirsten and Kayna. You have been in our thoughts and prayers so often since Brads untimely death. We can only imagine the shock and heart ache you have been living with. You have wonderful memories of Brad. I remember him as a smiling, loveable and very intelligent boy. May you find peace in memories of the happy days while he was with you. He would not want you to be sad for long. Time and your faith are wonderful healers. God bless all of you.

To Brad's family,

The guestbook online, as been the nicest way for acquaintances to share all of their wonderful memories of Brad with all of us. You are in my thoughts and prayers everyday, and hope that with each passing day, the pain of such a great loss will be easier to bear. I hope that hearing the wonderful words and stories about Brad from the minister, at Brad's Celebration of Life, in the mountains above Boulder, and knowing that he is in a far better place, will sustain you as it does me.

My love and sympathy to you all,

Auntie Bettie

I thank you for letting me be part of Brad's life and the many memeories I have of him. I can't imagine the sorrow and grieving that you are experiencing. The wonderful memories that you have will get you through the days. Love to all of you. Cheryl Huschka (Krueger)

Bernie, Kenny, Kirstin, Kim, Kyna & Paul I remember Brad very well, like it was yesterday we were playing in the Coast to Coast store with Brad & the girls and all the great toys. What great times! I do remember Brad and his smile and I also remember how blessed he was for having such a wonderful family. I can't imagine the tough times that you as a family have been going through, but know in your heart that Brad loves all of you and he would not want you to hurt anymore. You are all very special to us and so is Brad. May you find peace in time and always remember how blessed you all truly are.

I have nothing but the happiest memories of Brad. He was always so fun to be around, from the first meeting to the last. I have thought of him often over the last while, hoping he would make it safely over this hurdle. I am so sad about it all. I hope that you can find some solace in each other and in all of the wonderful memories of Brad that you hold in your heart.

Wagner Family,

Many times I have recalled the summers of 1981-1983 that I spent off and on with Brad and your family at your farm. They were some of the best times in my life. May you all know peace.

Although I haven't seen Brad since shortly after high school, the memories I have of him are quite vivid and good. I've never met his family, but loss and pain are universal. Therefore, my heart goes out to all of you as you struggle with his untimely passing. Lean on one another and know that he will be remembered.

God hath not promised

Skies always blue,

Flower-strewn pathways

All our lives through;

God hath no promised

Sun without rain,

Joy without sorrow,

Peace without pain.

But God hath promised

Strength for the day,

Rest for the labor,

Light for the way.

Grace for the trials,

Help from above,

Unfailing sympathy

Undying love......

To the Wagner Family,

Please accept my sympathy as you grieve for Brad, you have been in my thoughts often. Brad is inexorably tied to so many of my childhood memories, from Roosevelt to Hughes to BHS; I will remember his smile.

Kimberly and Kirstin - please know how truly saddened I am and hope you find peace and serenity.

Dear Wagner Family,

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Brad, he truly was a unique individual. The memories we have of him are ALWAYS smiling, laughing and enjoying life to the fullest.

We are all so saddened by his loss.

A thought for you all....

Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones shines down to let us know they are with us.

With deepest sympathy....

I will always remember Brad as an adventurous, carefree and caring individual. He was a positive influence on those who knew him best. He was unique in that he took the time to listen and he gave heartfelt advice, even to new acquaintances. He will be thoroughly missed in this world.

Our deepest sympathies go out to his loving family. We hope they find peace in the fact that Brad has found serenity in the mountains he so loved.

Wagner Family:

My deepest symptathy to all of you. Words cannot describe the sadness I feel for your family. I always looked forward to Brad's visits back home. He had a very warm and charming way of making you feel like you were the most important person in the room. That is how I will always remember him. You are a wonderful family and I feel fortunate to have been a part of it for all these years and I am confident that your love for one another will get you through these difficult times.

God Bless You In Your Healing.
