Brad Crase Obituary
He joined the Reno Police Department in 1967 where he served as a patrol office, motor officer, community services officer and detective. He retired in 1988 after suffering a stroke. Brad had a strong will to live and overcame many health obstacles throughout the years. He was never far away from a sports channel and a Pepsi.
He will be greatly missed by his wife Judy of 39 years, his sister Candace Mathis (Stan), his children Don
Depoali (Kelley), David Depoali, Robert Zumoff (Noelle), Kim Brokaw (Max), grandkids Alicia, Robert Mathew, Misty, Becky, Dylan, Matt, Kaela, Shanice, Cole and Callie as well as three great-grandchildren Frank, Jeremy and Kilee. Our family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. James Atcheson, Irina, Sam and Gigi Valeria, Gilbert, Renee and Nelson for their care and compassion throughout the years. A memorial service will be held Thursday, May 27, 2010 at Walton's Sierra Chapel, 875 W. Second Street at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favorite charity.
"Doc" you will be greatly missed and never forgotten!

Judy,
My heartfelt sympathies and condolences to you and the family. I always enjoyed visiting with Brad when he came to the Rodeo office. He was a wonderful man to visit with.

OK, you asked, so I will be the first of many to express a sadness for Brad's loss - he was a pillar of what the good life stood for in his Reno High - late 1950s - days; a good friend, whose easy nature and sense of humor followed him into adulthood, where he became a cop's cop. He'll be missed by most of my contemporaries, who I'm sure join me in offering condolences to his family. Karl Breckenridge Reno
