Brad is a good man. A good man. A hard worker and a dedicated family man. One only needs to look at his social media profiles to see were his heart is. I still remember the first time we met a work a decade ago. I pray that God comforts your entire family during this difficult time. You will be in my prayers.

Jess and family. Losses like this are so very hard to fathom "why?". A man like Brad, a perfect gentleman who loved his family, was not supposed to leave this world at this time. We realize he was very ill, but still, he was still needed here! So many unfair happenings, but all we can do is hold you all close and keep reassuring you that we are here for you at any given moment. We know that Brad left knowing you have a wide circle of friends and family that will be there for you in a heart beat. So at this very sad time, lean on us and we will hold you up as best as we can. Love you Jess. Aunt Sharon and Uncle John..💔❤️😢🦆💞
