Bradley Alan Monk

My heart felt sympathy to all the family for your loss. May GOD hold you each close and bring you comfort that only HE can give.

My Brother Brad, it's been a few years since you've been gone, and I still miss you bud. I still feel your presence every once in a awhile when I hear your favorite songs come up back to back on the radio while I'm driving. Then I know you are there in the passenger seat just having taking a ride like old times.
I met Brad at Helotes elementary along with most of the Helotes boys at the end of the Summer of 1985. I thought I met Ricky Schroeder from Silver Spoons. Lol.
Us Helotes boys hung out every chance we could. From riding our bikes around, to playing football in the Helotes field, or playing a game of basketball down at the school courts. Brad was usually one of the ring leaders, organizing these activities. Brad was the buddy who checked with everyone to see how they were doing or if they were looking down, he'd ask what the story was. If Brad was in the same room of kid brothers or sisters, he was like a magnet to these kids. It was unreal how kids felt super comfortable around Brad. Maybe it was because he'd start the game of peek a boo or quick draw with a smile and a laugh. Whichever case it was, Brad always had a welcoming demeanor to him no matter who you were. I still remember the night before he left to bootcamp like it was yesterday. We were sitting at the kettle restaurant off of 35 North and 410, and he was nervous, but eager to see the world. We talked that night about John Wayne movies and how cool it's going to be to check out different cultures and far away lands. Brad was and still is a very empathetic, caring, loving and genuine soul. I'm very blessed and fortunate to have grown up with Brad. He welcomed me into his warm home and adopted me like another brother. As my family did with him. My family mourns for Brad leaving us so soon, and he is in our prayers. Brad Monk made me and the Helotes crew better people growing up around him and he'll forever be in our thoughts, prayers and hearts. Peace be with you and your family Brad.

Our all powerful God and Heavenly Father holds Brad safely until we
Meet again in the heavenly realm .
Kevin & Mary , you are the epitome of “gods plan for earthly parents”. Brad was blessed by the most loving and caring family and community one could ever wish for.
I’ve often pondered on the saying “if God doesn’t want us, nothing can take us, but if God wants us, nothing will delay our returning to our Heavenly Father.
I am blessed and and privileged to be a part of your Divine Plan. Our years and journey have been one that we know ans feel Gods presence.
I love you and I know - In God We trust.

Brad was a Helotes boy and we miss him.

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure your hearts are heavy at this time. May the " God of all comfort" bring comfort to your family (2 Cor 1:3). Your loved one will be at rest and in God's memory.

My sincere condolences to the Monk family. May our Father in heaven comfort and strengthen you all during this difficult time.

RIP fellow Bobcat.

Kevin and Mary, I have tried several times to find the words to express the compassion we feel for you and your family but everything comes up short. Our hearts grieve with you. Our prayers will continue for you until all sadness is replaced by loving and happy memories. May God bless you and give you His peace. Love y'all.

Mary and Kevin,
We are shocked! We send our most sincere condolences to the whole family.

I too am deeply saddened to hear of Brad's passing. I was one of his professors at Texas State, but we also had a special connection I consider a friendship. Just a few months ago we had discussed getting together in San Marcos, when he had a chance. On another site several of the students who went along with Brad to Big Bend with my 2011 class are expressing their condolences as well--a tribute to how well liked Brad was. I was fortunate to have known him. My condolences to his wife and family.

So deeply sorry for your loss. The loss of a child is one of the most difficult to bear. Thoughts and prayers for your family. In Deepest Sympathy, Richard and Diana Sarfin

Abby, I am so sorry for your loss. Brad was a great guy and will be greatly missed. Prayers to all of you. Let us know if we can do anything. Love you.

Abby, I am so sorry to hear about Brad. You and your family are in my prayers.

Brad was very loved and well respected in our TCEQ family. He will be missed so much by all of us. I will miss his friendship, his hard work, and his smile.

Words can't express the pain and the hurt our family feels for the loss of such a wonderful friend. Our family loved and enjoyed Brad's sense of humor and that big smile he wore when in our presence. He became one of my son's best friends and one of the circle of friends that visited our home. He was a joker and was alwqys witty. He used to tease my youngest kids by calling them "Chili Bowl Head" because of the haircuts I use to give them so in turn they would call him "Chili Bowl head". We will miss him greatly. May he rest in peace in the presence of our Lord. Until we meet again "Chili Bowl Head"

Our deepest condolences to Abby and the Monk family. We are so saddened by Brads passing and the loss you are experiencing. We are praying for peace and healing for your entire family. In Christ's love, Doug and Michelle Godfrey

My thoughts and prayers are with you. He will be missed. I remember in high school that Brad had such a big heart. No person was a stranger to him. Always welcoming and smiling.

Brad was always a great guy. I remember he was nice to me when I was "his friend's little sister" and "the daughter if his parent's friends." He was nice to his brothers, I could see the love even when I was young. He was kind to animals and I am glad we had a chance to reconnect a little recently. My heart goes out to his family, the Monks are wonderful people and they raised an amazing man.

I am so very sad for your loss. May God be with you all.

Kevin & Mary
I still remember visiting the two of you and newborn Bradley in the married student apartments at A&M our freshman year. May God bless you and give you His peace.

I have fond memories of hanging out with Brad and Abby in San Marcos, TX. Thanks for showing me the ropes at Texas State and making me feel welcome. Also fond memories of weekends at your lake house.

My fond memory of Bradley was as a baby laughing and smiling while Mary and Kevin were playing with him on a bed. I thought he was the happiest, most beautiful baby I had ever seen. My heart is with you this week.❤

I was saddened to read of Brad's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time. Julie Kallison

god bless the monk family

His large presence and bright smile could take over any room that he entered. His big heart made him so easy to love and I will miss our bs sessions (mostly me spouting the bs, but he had some great input), which were all too few. Brad will be so missed.

I saw Brad once or twice a week at work and always enjoyed talking Aggie football and shoptalk with him. He will truly be missed.

Sending my love, thoughts, and prayers during this very difficult time. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Mary and Kevin I am so sorry for your loss. May God be with you and your family.

Sending our condolences during this sad time. Know we are all praying & thinking of you all.

All my love
