I have only fun memories with my brother-n-law. When I start to think back on everything we have done together and how we kind of grew up together(13 years)I start to cry! He loved my son Justin like he was his own. He would watch movies with him, play ball, and most of all teach him new things. I will cherish that forever!

Brad was my brother I never had! I'm proud to have known Brad and been able to enjoy life with him. Everything from living together, hay rides, Movies, Six Flags, Disney, Renting Cottages at the beach, backyard baseball games, cook outs, Football games, only the good things in life. That's what Brad was all about.....He would enjoy only the good thing in life!

As a family we will miss him ever so much. Come Christmas time and all the other holidays our family will struggle, but our love is so strong for Brad we will realize he will always be right next to us in our Hearts.

Brad I love you like a brother!

I am very sad to hear that Brad passed away. He was very close to my family and at times I felt that he was another brother. I remember going to his hockey games at Avon Old Farms and playing kickball on Forest Dr. The Chesanek family will miss Brad and will always treasure the memories of our childhood with him.

Take care,

Alyssa
