John Bradley "Brad" Hall

I worked with Brad for eight years at Ohio Valley volleyball Center. He was a very energetic and caring young man, a hard worker and just an overall great guy. He will be greatly missed. His passing was way way too early.

Brad was a devoted father. Loved his kids.. proud of his son (karate-DeSales) and having Father/Daughter time with a coffee treat (sparkle in his eyes). Trinity Brother will never be forgotten and will remain in our hearts forever.

Brad came into our lives when he began dating my niece, and from the start he fit right into our family. My niece used to babysit our four boys, and Brad naturally became part of that world too. He formed a special bond with our third son, also named Brad - "Big Brad" and "Little Brad," as we called them.

One weekend, three of our boys had tournaments in three different cities. Big Brad stepped in and offered to take Little Brad to his tournament. Little Brad had just joined a new team and didn´t feel fully accepted yet, and Big Brad was a protective, steady presence for him. I couldn't have cared for him any better.

Although Big Brad and my niece didn't turn out to be a forever fit, and over time we lost touch, we will never forgot the impact he had on our boys. He was a positive influence during an important time in their lives, and we always appreciated his kindness, patience, and the heart he brought into our family while he was with us.

We will always remember him with gratitude and warmth.
