Brad Phelps Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Those who knew Brad will remember him for his reserved calm presence. His passion in life was the printing industry. Learning every aspect from manufacturing to sales and eventually purchasing his own company fulfilling a dream. He loved golf, 80's music, and America.
Brad is survived by his loving wife of 24 years, Karen. Children, Julie (Ken) Bohrer, Elliott Phelps; granddaughter, Rylinn Bohrer; sister, Gail Wagner; and brother, Brian Phelps. Predeceased by his mother, Marie Schmitt; father Robert Phelps; and brother, Scott Phelps.
Although Brad's physical presence may no longer grace our lives, his spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us. May his memory be a blessing, and may we carry forth his legacy of love and compassion in all that we do.
The Celebration of Life service to honor the life of Brad Phelps will be held on September 6th at the University of Rochester Interfaith Chapel (1045 Wilson Blvd., Rochester) at 11 am. Interment to follow at Webster Cemetery (1087 Ridge Rd., Webster).
