Brad was a man of God, a perfect example of loving and living like Jesus. He was a devoted husband, father, son, and friend to many. He was the type of friend who was always there and loved by all. Brad had a bubbly personality and a contagious laugh; he was fun, caring, thoughtful, and he didn’t know a stranger. He enjoyed hunting and welding with his son, Axylle, riding dirt bikes with all his kids, and attending the father/daughter dance with his daughter, Joveigh. Brad could fix anything and knew how to do everything. Brad loved supporting his children by going to games and cheering them on. There is no doubt that Brad is in heaven singing in a choir with the angels. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
