He enjoyed hunting and fishing and doing anything outdoors. Brad worked in the field with Project Managers for Korte-Luitjohan Contactors starting in 1998. He was a dedicated employee and member of the Laborers Local # 397. He was a friend to all and never met a stranger, whether it was work related or in the community. He was always willing to help people out with any task asked of him. Brad enjoyed playing bocce ball and soccer; loved attending the St. Louis Rams (until they left St. Louis), Blues Hockey, and the St. Louis Cardinal teams.
