Brad Scott Sternberg passed away on October 13th, 2025. Brad was born on August 23rd, 1988, in Englewood, NJ, the son of Eric and Madeline Sternberg.
Brad is survived by his wife, Katie, of the home, and their three children, Ellington, Ellary, and Endy - the lights of his life. Brad was a devoted and loving father who found his greatest joy in spending time with his kids, cheering them on in everything they did, and making sure they always knew how deeply they were loved. He was also a loyal husband, son, brother, and friend, known for his humor, kindness, and the way he made everyone around him feel valued.
Brad's life was defined by purpose and compassion. As a teacher of the deaf, he was deeply committed to his students and to making communication accessible for all. His work was more than a career - it was a calling. He poured his heart into helping others be seen, heard, and understood, and his impact will continue to be felt in the lives of those he taught and inspired.
