Bradley David "Brad" Abbe

The Lord took Brad home on Saturday April 4, 2009 near College Station, Tex. He passed away from injuries sustained in an auto accident while traveling to a bull riding. He was 21 years old. Brad was born on June 11, 1987 in Boise, Idaho to David and April Abbe. He spent most of his life in the Treasure Valley. As a teen and young adult he spent a great deal of time in Sweet, Idaho at the most loved place he knew, "The Last Chance Ranch." The Lord put Brad on this earth to be a cowboy. He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, roping and riding. He was a talented horse trainer but his first love was bull riding. Brad won many awards and honors riding bulls, riding broncs and team roping. Brad was a member of the Idaho District II High School Rodeo Assoc., The Idaho Cowboys Assoc., and was a 2008 team member of the Southwestern Oklahoma State University Rodeo Team. Brad loved little children, horses, rodeos, his family and friends from coast to coast, which we can not begin to count. He always had a dog by his side and had a special love for his border collie "Miss Kate". Brad was a free spirit who loved life and lived everyday to the fullest as he believed that when his time was up the Lord would come get him and take him home. Brad will be deeply missed forever and ever by his family and friends. He always had a story to tell (usually about bull riding) and there was never a lack of conversation when he was in the room. Brad is survived by the love of his life Kenna Lynn Muchow, parents David Abbe, Douglas and April Moats, sisters Heather Kime, Cheryl Padilla and husband Brian; Kimberlee Kuhlman and husband Travis; brother Matthew Abbe, grandparents Ken Abbe, Josie Abbe, Jim Abbe, Virginia Abbe, Thomas Guinard, Larry and Karen Moats, along with many uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces and cousins. Brad was also a part of two more special families Todd, Nan, Brittney and Paige Edmindson, and Devon, Sue, Keri, Kenna and Chase Muchow.
