Bradley Allan Fischer was born January 25, 1958, in New Ulm to Edwald and Bernice (Karstens) Fischer. Growing up in Gibbon, Brad was a 1976 graduate from Gibbon High School. He was united in marriage on September 26, 1981, at the Shepherd of the Hills Church in Edina. This union blessed the couple with a son and a daughter whom together they raised in Gibbon. Brad worked his entire career as an owner operator, over the road truck driver. Dedicated to his job, Brad worked with Waymore Transportation of Fridley for the past 28 years. Trucking was not just a job for him; it was his life's calling. Behind the wheel, he found a sense of freedom and purpose. Brad's dedication and commitment to his work were evident in the countless miles he traveled and the immeasurable hours he spent on the open road. Beyond the highways, Brad found joy in the open air, cruising on his beloved Harley. He and his wife Julie shared a love for the open road, attending Sturgis and numerous other bike rallies together. Family was at the core of Brad's being. His wife, children, and grandchildren always held a special place in his heart. Brad lived his life with a positive optimistic attitude. It didn't matter if you knew him for 15 minutes, or 15 years, once you got to know him, you wanted to stay connected to him. His sense of humor, laugh, and jokes will forever be remembered by all who got the privilege of meeting him. Brad's love and support were unwavering, and he cherished every moment spent with his family. Brad's legacy is not just one of a truck driver or a motorcycle enthusiast; it is a legacy of love, dedication, and the pursuit of happiness. His memory will live on in the stories told by fellow truckers, the echoes of his Harley's engine, and in the strong family he helped build. Although his time on earth was cut short, may he rest in peace knowing that his memory will stay alive on in the hearts and minds of everyone he met throughout his time with us. Blessed be those memories.
