  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.

  5. 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.

  16. 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.

  26. 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.❤️
