Please accept Our deepest condolences to you

Dee the day you and Brad pulled in to park center we knew we had made good friends.Brad will be missed by so many friends that loved him. You have our deepest sympathy.

Over the last 5 years we winter in Port Isabel Texas. We meet Brad and Deann there and became good friends. Brad always had a smile and was never a stranger to no one. He was a kind soul of a man. Deann lost her soul mate and best friend. We will always treasure the great times we had together. Rest in peace dear friend. You will be missed so much. Love always Robin and Terry Sullvan

Over the years we have wintered in Port Isabel with Brad and DeAnna. Quickly they became more than good friends, more like family to Lori and I. Although it has only been 6 years, it seems like we have known each other and been friends forever.

Our time together has been such an adventure!

From surviving Covid, and the Texas winter freeze of 2021, to learning pickleball, playing pool, cycling, kayaking, the beach, the pool, good food, good music, karaoke, dancing (even occasional line dancing), and just being together. Brad's spirit, humor and sense of adventure made him a pleasure to be with. 

When Brad fell gravely ill, it alarmed us deeply. I am very saddened that our attempt to get Brad home quickly to get the medical attention he needed was not successful. 

We will always treasure the 6 winter´s we had together.  We miss Brad dearly. Port Isabel will not be the same without him. Our best bud and Dee's soulmate has been taken from us far too soon.

Brad, we love you and will miss you always.

Badly you were one in a million. You will be greatly missed. Love and miss you my friend

Brad your Texas family feels a great loss and sadness you will be so missed. We all love you and Dee. Girly girl come back to us when you can. Prayers for strength for you and comfort.

There are no

There are no words to say.. how this saddens me. Brad was such a good person and friend. Deanna please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. Lean on the Lord to get ya thru, know he is walking right there beside you giving you strength and love. Love Deb Potter

Our hearts are broken with the loss of your husband Brad. He will be missed! Deanna you know Faye and I are 80 miles away if you ever need to talk or just get away. We have a spare bedroom that is brand new and never been used! We're here for you. God bless Brad may he rest in peace.

Where to start?? (Big deep sigh) D, to watch you and Brad together was such an inspiration to me!! You two were such an amazing team....Always doing fun things together and having fun with each other. I loved chatting with him...you too of course De! I have no regrets crashing your karaoke party that night...singing like I was a rock star while Brad held and watched Booberry! I have no regrets crashing your beautiful marriage ceremony either! I´m so glad I got to be there and witness such love!! Knowing the both of you has made me a better person! Love you GirlyGirl!!!

Brad was amazing and deeply saddened by his loss. I was dealing with PTSD badly when I met him. He helped me makes sense of life and helped to see the joy in life again. He would always tell me that he wanted De to marry him. God Bless to all his loved ones and sorry for your loss.

We enjoyed your company so much. The first time you introduced yourself to Hilario and me I could have sworn I was listening to John Wayne. Your voice was smooth like molasses. We enjoyed dancing and listening to your stories about living and travel by the fire. Your love of Dee shown bright on your face anytime she was near. We are so grateful to have known you and devastated we couldn't take just one trip with you. May your memory be a blessing to all who miss your presence To we meet again~ Selah Herrera (Port Isabel neighbor)

DeAnna and family,
Our deepest sympathy. We pray that you find comfort and peace. This is very sad, we lost a dear friend. Brad always wore a great smile, had a good story to tell and had a great laugh. He was kind, polite and a gentleman. DeAnna, we really enjoyed spending time with you guys. Wish we could have had more time together. We know we will see Brad again but until that time we will cherish our memories we have of him. Rest in peace dear friend, we will miss you.

We are so sorry to hear of Brad´s passing.
He was family and a friend.
Stay strong DeAnna and know that you are loved.

We did not know Brad for a long period of time. However, we sure enjoyed playing cornhole with you guys always had lots of laughs and fun. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My life path was blessed to have Brad and Dee as loved friends. I cherish the memories and hope I can be here for Dee to lean on, if needed. See you in heaven, Brad.

Brad you will surely be missed. We have known each other for many years. I still remember when I came to meet Deanna's new man and it was you. We had memories from going to Calvary Baptist Church in Edwardsville. Lots of fond memories. You treated DeAnna like a queen. You will be remembered and missed. Say hi to our families up in heaven.

The little time that I was able to be around Brad, he was a friendly guy, and just wish that I was able to know him better while he was in South Texas. My condolences to his family and to sweet Dee. He will be missed by many here at PiPC.
