I was a co-worker of Brad's at Target. He truly was a great person and always brought a smile to my face while on a break with him. He was one of the friendliest and most helpful people I have ever met. I admired him and he will be truly missed. Whenever I'm on a break and there's no one there to lighten the room, I'll think of Brad. I know everyone at Target misses him and my prayers go out to his family and friends. Rest in Peace Brad.
