We'll never forget you Brad. You touched so many more lives than you'll ever know.

Brad was a great guy. Me & Brad go way back to Elementary School and he will forever be missed. It was my privelage to speak about him at the 2006 Co-op Banquet. This poem may help some cope this this horrifying event:

Letter From Heaven

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too... that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I will always love you,

From that place way up above.

I will be in touch again soon.

P.S. God sends his love.

To the Allan Family... I am so sorry for your loss! And I want you to know that even though Brad is no longer with us, he will continue to be in our hearts. You should be very proud of him.

To Allan Family~

Not a day goes by that I don't think about Brad. I miss him so much and just the sound of his voice repeats inside my head whenever he comes to mind. Now since I'm a swimmer, Brad didn't think much of the sport and always told me that is wasn't a sport. I'll never forget those words. I'm sure everyone in our class of '06 and friends from other schools wont forget about him either.

~He is gone but He will forever live in our hearts and will never be forgotten~

*Brad, I don't think it's possible to forget a kid like you...you meant so much to so many people...it just hurts knowing I won't be seeing you for awhile.*

Dear Family and Friends

Love is the strongest feeling known. An all-encompassing passion an extreme strength an overwhelming excitement.

God is Love. Love is understanding each other, listening to each other, supporting each other. Love is not a feeling to be taken lightly. Love is a feeling to be cherished, neutured and cared for. Love is the reason for life here on earth and everlasitng life in heaven. God understands us, listens to us and supports us. His Love is so GREAT he sent his Son to die on the cross for each and everyone of us so we can live forever with him in heaven. Heaven is a place of peace and perfect happiness. Our son is a student at MHS. I felt even though I never met Brad I felt a connection, and the connection I felt was he showed alot of love and happiness, and Brad's love will continue forever just like God's Love for all of us!! Our prayers and thoughts are with you. You will keep Strong by the Power and Strength of God !!

Allan Family:

I had the privelage to work with your son (brother) last year in the CMC. He was a great kid. I always gave him a hard time about being soo quiet in class. I wish I would have had the opportunity to work with him again this year. He always had a smile on face when he walked in the classroom no matter what kind of a day it was. He was also the computer fix it man when ever there was a problem. He will be greatly missed. My prayers and thoughts are with you and will continue to be with you through this tough time.

To all the members of Brad Allan's family: I still can not believe this is true. Brad and I were never close, but I have known him for 6 years now. He is such a nice guy, and his loss has affected everyone. He was in my 2nd hour class, and everyday I walk into class, I wish I could still think "oh Brad's just absent again" ....but its not true. Oh how we all wish it was. It's easier said that done, but at least he's in a better place now. I know he is watching down on all of us, and proof of this is Mike and Cory's improvement. I can't imagine losing a loved one, let alone a son, but please remember that everyone around you is here to support you, and our prayers are always with you. My deepest condolences, *Megan*

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Allan, and Morgan, first of all my condolences to your family. My daughter Marla is in Brad's serior class. I know Brad because I work at Bay Lane. I remember his friends always trying to get into trouble with me. I would look at Brad and he would say, " I didn't do anything," so innocently. Well he never did do anything wrong, but he and his friends would sure make me laugh inside. I will continue to pray for your family in this time.

Dear Allan Family:

Last year I had the privillage of working with Brad at Sentry. We had so much fun together. Everytime we weren't busy we always had some laughs together. He was a great guy, never talked bad about anyone, and i am sure none of us here at MHS have anything bad to say about him. He was loved by alot and will be missed for ever in our hearts and minds. God Bless

Allan Family: I've known brad since I was in first grade and I saw him everyday seventh hour walking down the hall. It hurts to walk down the hall and not see him anymore.I used to be quite good friends with morgan back in the day and thats how I originally met brad. He was a cool kid with a great sense of humor and will be missed by everyone in muskego. MHS will never be the same ever again. And right now I think brad is in heaven helping mikie stay alive and hes working in all of our hearts to keep us strong. He would never ever want to see his family and friends soo sad. Lets just say he is in a better place now. God Bless and I am sooooo sorry for your loss.

Love Always

Phat Brad

You were a great frined of mine and once I heard what happened I just couldn't belive it. You were a great guy and always happy. You were always fun to chill and hang out with. You will be missed by many and were loved by many. R.I.P

Dear Friends and Family of Phat Brad,

I had the pleasure of working along side Phat Brad at Demarinis Denoon Saloon. He absolutely loved working there. He was never late, infact, always between 15-30 minutes early to shoot the breeze. Brad evaluated his job recently, within the last few weeks, and came to the conclusion that he was going to stay and work there, even when offered a higher paying job. I'm positive I've never heard Phat Brad argue with anyone at work either. We were always having a good time joking and fooling around. An employer could never ask anything more of someone liek Phat Brad. His potential and possibilities were endless. He was a friend of mine whom I will miss dearly but I am glad to have someone like Phat Brad watching over me. I know that in the future Brad will spend some time at Demarini's just messin around and scaring me for fun, he was just that kind of a kid. I feel for the ones closer to him.

I cannot even imagine what your family is going through, but i just wanted to let you know that all of us here at Muskego High School are keeping your family in our prayers.He was a great guy and will be missed.Keep your heads held high.He used to park next to me and it is hard walking in each day and not being able to talk with him, but I know that he is in a better place now, looking down, and watching over all of us.

Love and God Bless!

I remember when you all moved in behind me, all of us kids were sad to see the field gone. However, we got a lot more in return. I became good friends with Morgan and Brad when I was younger, and I am so glad to have had Brad's friendship in my life. He was truly one in a million. He was always nice to me, even when the rest of the "neighbor boys" weren't. And it always meant so much to me. I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please don't hesitate to call or anything if you need anything at all. I know Brad is looking down on all of us. Your son (and brother) was a wonderful part of so many people's lives. I hope that helps a little bit to heal some of the pain. The knowledge of how much love he recieved, and gave out.

With Love, Prayers, and Good Wishes,

Karen

To "Phat Brad's" Family:

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've been a classmate of Brad's for the past four years. This year I had him in my first hour and last year he was also in my gym class.We always joked around alot... mostly about my height considering I am about a foot shorter than he is. He was such a nice guy and alot of fun to be around, especially since he always had a smile for you. He will be greatly missed and I plan to keep your family in my prayers through this tough time. Just remember that everyone is here to help you through this.

Dear Allan Family,

How will this world ever survive without Brad in it? He will be missed by all.

Someone once told me that nothing happens in God's world by mistake and that all things happen for a reason. It is not for us to ask why, but to ask for acceptance...

I know he is in a better place and I know it will not take the pain away. I just wish he would have known how much we all loved him and will miss him. Why is it we do not say that more often...here on earth...to each other?

Brad was a gift to us all. I loved having him in the Muskego Snow Club. Only his snow club friends will ever know how much fun he was to have around and what a good boarder he was.

I asked God that you would accept the goodwill of our Muskego youth who wanted to help you through this. I know he heard my prayer because he has blessed you with their strength. Use them for as long as you need to. They are truly a gift he wants you to use.

Just know that you will be in our family prayers for years to come. We will pray to God asking him to ease your pain and to help you never forget the good times with Brad.

Friends always...The Pizur Family

Dear Allen Family..

Nothing anyone says to you at this time will make things alright but know this, that you raised a fine young man who touched many hearts including mine..I only knew Brad for a few short years from working with him at MHS..I was new to the high school when he was a sophomore coming to work there from Lake Denoon and it was very hard for me but he made me feel so welcome when I met him..he was so nice and made me feel like I had been there for years..what I will remember the most about him is his smile and his ability to fix any computer problem we had in the CMC..I will miss him greatly and know that my families thoughts and prayers are with you at this time..Remember he was truly a remarkable young man, and he is now watching over all of you.

Lori Borga

January 10, 2006

Our family would like to express our deepest condolences to you during this difficult time. There is no greater sorrow than losing a child. Words are meaningless at times like this, and we can only hope that prayers can help mend a broken heart.

Don't think of Brad as gone away - his journey's just begun

life holds so many paths & earth is just one.

Just think of Brad as resting from the sorrows and the fears.

In a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.

Think of how he must be wishing that he could know today

how nothing but our sadness can really pass away.

And think of Brad as living - in the hearts of those he touched...

for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved SO MUCH.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you tonight and in the days ahead. There is NO Bond as great as that between a parent and a child. We pray for you.

The Borga Family, Chuck, Lori, Brittney, Brock & Bianca

Phat Brad's Family:

Morgan Allan is one of my best friends in the entire world. Never in my life had I ever seen her cry. When I got a call about the accident..I kept repeating in my mind that it wasn't true, someone was playing a sick joke. And then, I continued to get calls saying the same thing. And even so, I would repeat it in my mind that it wasn't true. Your family is too good for this. You are the strongest people I have ever known. I remember when I taught Brad how to play a song on the guitar. He was just starting. Maybe in heaven..he will continue his passion. So maybe he didn't make it past seventeen..but for the whole time he was there, people cared, and loved him. He will guide you through and your mourning will cease. Anything your family needs, I (along with my family) are here till the end. I just wanted to say thank you..for raising such an amazing kid. I am praying for your family and Brad will forever be in my heart, and also in every other heart in muskego.

<3Love Always,

Courtney Bowman

P.S. Morgan Ashley Allan, I love you with all my heart, stay strong Morgan, stay strong.

Lisa Montgomery

And God plucks from this earth the one who would have been the best. The best dad, the best boyfriend, the best spouse, the best grandpa, the best gentleman…surely the best brother and son but that he already was. I have known Brad all of his life. There would never be a long enough time to keep a person so whole and good and giving on this earth. Scott and Sheri did a wonderful thing in giving us the chance to see what good parenting can make… and Brad doubled it. He was charming. Even if you didn’t know him, and just met him, he was charming. He was kind. Even if you never spoke but only your eyes met, he was kind. He was exemplar of a saint. Even before he became a saint.

So maybe this saint can help us out a little, because this makes no sense, to lose the good soul in a world so bumpy. And because I did know Brad, I can attest, he might just swing an arm our way and grin a charming grin because we are going to need a path to turn and walk again… we have to begin.

Wishing peace on you.

Please know that you were not just Brad's "mother" and "father", you were his "best-friends". Not many kids can say that. He will forever be watching over you.

Brad, my beautiful Godson. You will always live on in my heart. You touched so many lives. You made this world a better and happier place. There are no words to describe how special you are or how much I will miss you. Auntie Linda loves you.

Scott, Sheri & Morgan-

I pray that the memories of your perfect son (brother) bring a smile to your face. You brought us all so much joy by bringing Brad into our lives. You know I love you all very much. May God bring peace to your hearts.

I remember the day Brad was born. It was so awesome to see my best friend's little baby boy. He looked just like his grandfather, Gene Wagner. Over the past 17 years, Brad always had a hug for me, and even as a teenager always took time to be with me when we would get together. He and his sister were there for the birth of my sons. Brad had a special way of making Malcolm stop crying when no one else could. I always considered Brad my first boy. He always will be. I am so proud of him.

To the Allan Family:

Sending thoughts of peace, comfort, and sympathy in the loss of your son. I too recently lost a son.

I've been told that the pieces of this broken world we now share will slowly mend themselves back together--not in the same way as before, but in a way that will allow you to live in peace from constant emotional turmoil, to live without daily suffering.

As a family we offer our love, and sympathy, truly feeling your pain. May you feel comfort and peace whenever possible....Grief is a healing journey.....
