  1. I ran into Brad last November in Perryville with his wife. We had not crossed paths in years and only spoke on social media. Nothing had changed. We talked about typical nonsense (sports and such). He brought up his kids and was very proud of them and their accomplishments. Brad was always good to me from 5th grade all the way until we graduated high school together. The guy loved baseball and that was our common ground from all the way back then. I hurt for his mother, brother, wife, and kids. God Bless you all.

  2. I am so sorry for your loss. Brad was always so kind and thoughtful. I know how much he loved his family and how proud he was of them. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

  3. It saddens my heart this has happened. Brad and I were co workers for many years but also friends. We would talk for hours about our outdoor adventures. However, I will never forget the fact that he was a genuine good human being. One of the best men I’ve ever known. In a job that is filled with so much negativity, he always brought some positivity to the workplace. And for that, I thank him.
    Rest easy friend.

  4. So very sorry for the loss of this wonderful man, son, husband, brother and father. We only met the one time at a Robertson family reunion but I so enjoyed meeting Brad and sharing some time together. Praying for peace and comfort during this difficult time
    My love to Sheila, my sweet cousin💕

  5. Praying for the family. I worked with Brad throughout our years in Corrections. He was always a caring person and will truly be missed.

  6. I am saddened to hear of Brad’s passing. He was a great person who loved life, family and friends. My fondest memory with Brad was him introducing me to Captain Jack’s Hotdog Emporium. Whenever I was in Danville I would meet Brad there for lunch. We both loved hotdogs. I’m sure he is resting in peace.

  7. A Good man with a loving heart! He will surely be missed! Love and prayers for his family!

  8. I worked with Brad at Northpoint when he worked out of Central Office and as Deputy Warden. He was always friendly and respectful. I know he will be missed. Prayers for his family.

  9. Can’t imagine the loss you must be feeling. Brad was always very kind to me. Know that thoughts and prayers are being sent your way.

  10. So sorry to hear the sad news of your loved one. Please know Sheila and Brian, and the entire family, that you all are in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.🙏

  11. I’m so sorry for your loss. I knew Brad throughout our years in corrections and he was always very kind, considerate, and knowledgeable. I remember how proud he was of his kids, including talking about his daughter’s amazing singing voice. He will be very missed.

  12. When you were just a toddler you started telling me, Momma, I love you up to the sky and back! I always let you win the argument that you loved me more. In reality, I think the love you and your brother have both shown for me and your Daddy was equal. We couldn’t have asked for God to send us more amazing sons. We are blessed and I know your Daddy was there to give you a big “group hug” as we did many times before. I’ll do everything I can to be here for Amanda, Abi, Gabe and Brian. I miss you but am thankful you are no longer suffering with agonizing pain. I love YOU up to the sky and back.❤️

May God comfort family and friends and touch each one of you in a very special way 🙏 You will meet again on The Great Reunion Day in Heaven!

  17. “The righteous man perishes, and no one lays it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from calamity; he enters into peace; they rest in their beds who walk in their uprightness.”
