My condolences to his family – especially to his wonderful mother. I've never met anyone as adored and respected as Brad. I will always remember our freewheeling times back during school with his great sense of humor and what a gracious soul to everyone he knew. RIP and say hello to one of our favorite musicians Ronnie James Dio up there – I know you two are jamming as we speak.

You were just 13 the first time I met you...full of life then and full of life to the end. Family reunions are time of reflections and we will always have you with us...until we see you again...you live in our hearts.

We spent many years hanging out at Angel Park Speedway and being a part of Badger was like a second family for all of us. There was so many fond memories of races in Sun Praire, Beaver Dam, Milwaukee and other out of town races. But nothing compared to the fun we all had when we attended Canton every year and the banquet. We all let out hair down and forgot about competing and had a great time. You were a great friend and will never be forgotten. And I'm so glad you found Rochelle.

Brad will be so missed by many! My most memorable experience with Brad was at the Haunted Forest and one of the guys screaming like a girl! I won't mention his name as to not embarrass him. We laughed so hard that night!! Glad to have called Brad my friend!!

From playing football with you in JR High. Hearing your voice over the radio in the Army and tracking you down while artillery rounds whistled overhead. Your voice is forever burned in my memories. God Bless you for being a friend.

Brad so many people may not know how generous you were with family or friends who were in need. But I remember and will always share this about you. You always knew when Brad was in the room it just seemed to light up when he was there. I will miss your laugh, your smile, your voice. RIP cousin.

Brad left us so many memories to remember. Our favorite one would have to be our 20 month old daughter that would great Brad at the door after work and they would take the pretzels and go sit on the couch and go to town on them. Miranda still sits there waiting. We love you dad and miss you very much! You were an amazing man. Thank you for all the support in such a horrible time.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. Brad and I were friends and played football together in 7th and 8th grade. He was fun to be around in high school. May our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, comfort you in your time of loss.

I will always remember your smile and how your laughter filled a room. I will cherish the memories of last Christmas Day, 2010, how you sat in the chair next to mine, and with your teasing (which you were known for) self, playing the Christmas gift game. I have so many memories of when I babysat you. Your bubbly personality will be missed, but the thoughts of you will shine forever. A ray of sunshine has left the world and the whisper of times gone by will linger in our hearts forever.
With love,
Pamela
