Bradley Allison Obituary
He was born in Ellwood City, Lawrence County, on April 21, 1962, to Vaughn Eugene and Nancy Belle Parson Allison.
Brad married Jane M. Mashuda on Oct. 2, 2004.
He drove truck, was a heavy equipment operator and had worked for various sand and gravel operations in the Butler County area.
He was a social member of the Harrisville American Legion Post 852 and member of the Slippery Rock Sportsmen's Club. An avid hunter, Brad in his younger years sought small game, like rabbits and squirrels. As he grew more accomplished, his quest was for the big buck that became his passion. He is one of the area's most accomplished buck hunters. The elusive gobbler became his spring time adventure in later years.
Brad took to heart mentoring nephews, nieces and younger cousins how to hunt. He was always as proud of their trophies as those obtained by his young students. Most recently he accomplished his lifetime dream of owning a Harley Davidson and experiencing the rush that only a Harley enthusiast would know.
Survivors include his wife, Jane M. Mashuda-Allison, at home; a stepson, Christopher J. Kirby and his wife, Vicki Holzer, of Cranberry Township; a step-granddaughter, Jaclyn M. Dyer and her husband, Nathaniel, of Beaver Falls; a sister, Apryl L. Klugh and her husband, Todd, of Pleasant, Gap, Pa.; and three brothers, R. Craig and his wife, Doris, Allison of Slippery Rock, Brian R. and his wife, Robin, Allison of Slippery Rock and Gary V. and his wife, Susan, Allison of Bellefonte, Pa.
He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister, Valerie J. Allison

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.
