I am so sorry for your loss. Brad was such a wonderful husband and father. The world has truly lost a wonderful person. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know.
My thoughts and prayers are with Brad’s wife, two daughters and entire family at this time. I had the pleasure of working with Brad over the last year and he was truly a special guy. Brad was very proud of his family as he always spoke of them during our many conversations. What a tremendous loss… May the Lord grant his family and loved ones the strength to get through this very difficult time. Sincerely, Steven
Words can’t express how saddened we are to hear of your loss. I worked with Brad just under a year, but I know he was a extraordinary person. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. May God give your family the strength to get through these trying times. Christopher
Sending my sincere condolences. I’ve known Brad for nearly 25 years and he was one of the nicest, most generous people I’ve ever met. My heart is heavy with sadness but I feel fortunate to have known him and his spirit will live on forever.
Deepest condolences on the loss of Brad whom I will remember as a warm, kind and welcoming soul. My thoughts are with Maria Esther and all the family left behind in bereavement. May Brad rest in peace.
Dear neighbor – we are so sorry to learn of the passing of your husband and father Brad. I recall him being a very sweet, gentel natured man. Our connection is that we are your neighbor on Greenhorn Street in Glenbrooke Woods and your daughters attended Oakton with our son’s Mitch and Max. Brad was a doting father always at the cross-country and track meets. I enjoyed our sidewalk talks as he walked Simba and I walked our dog Kirsti. I am not sure the circumstances of his passing and I am truly moved to sorrow for your loss. Warmest regards and prayers for peace and understanding as you celebrate the life you had with Brad.
Maria, I am sorry for your lost. I do not know Brad personally but seeing him with that smile, my heart warmed. May he rest in peace and be by God’s side. My prayer with you and your daughters. May God grant you the strenght and the peace to scope with your lost. I love you, Thuha
I’ve known Brad for at least 26 years and consider him one of the kindest,sincerest,most patient and tolerant people I’ve ever known. His warmth and generosity touched everyone and made him loved by many people but I especially felt privileged to have been a part of his circle of family and friends. I’ll always appreciate and remember his friendship and the many good times.
Maria and family I’m truly sorry for your lost. Brad was such a kind and beautiful spirit, much love and many blessings
To the family of Mr. Smith, I know that this is a very difficult time for you. We as humans were never meant to experience death. God’s purpose for us is that we live on the earth forever in perfect health and perfect conditions. The Bible mentions a time when the ones who have passed away will rise again in John 5:28,29. Take comfort in knowing that you will see Bradford again. Please accept my condolences.
