I've never known a more positive, upbeat person than Brad Napier.
He always made people feel better.
I thank Brad and Mae for helping look after my elderly parents, who have been their neighbors for more than 30 years.
Brad will be greatly missed.

Brad Napier was a wonderful neighbor to my family for the past 30 years. He has always been willing and anxious to help when I've been out of town and needed to check on my elderly parents...sometimes in the middle of the night. He was always happy and upbeat, and had positive things to say about everyone. He LOVED his family.
I will miss him very much, love to Mae.

I always admired Mr. Napier. Last winter he and I were picking up hot tamales at the same time at the Methodist church. He stopped me to say he recognized me and we talked for a few minutes. My prayers are for you to find strenth and comfort from our Heavenly Father in this time of sorrow.
