Brad. It's been almost 20 years buddy, but you popped into my head today. I remember messing around on the bus going to and from school. So much fun bro. Always hilarious making jokes and playing around when we shouldn't be. I still miss ya bro. I'll see you again one day dude.

Dear Lucas Family, although I only knew Brad briefly, I was impressed with his maturity and kindness. He was truly a kind and loving boy, setting forth an excellent Christian example to all of us. I will never forget Brad. May God bless you and comfort you.

Lucas Family,
There are no words that can express how sorry I am for your loss. It was an honor to have known Brad and have had the opportunity to coach him. He was a great kid, always a smile and fun to be around. He was one of those kids that you just loved to have on your team. Never complaining just listening and learning, taking in everything that his coaches and I would say. You start coaching to teach kids about baseball and life, but they surprise me every year because they end up teaching me. Brad taught me that you could be serious but still have fun. He would work hard at practice but be laughing the next minute at my silly jokes or me. I will miss Brad but I consider myself very blessed to have had the opportunity to have him as a player on my team for 2 years.
