Remembering Brad on the anniversary of his untimely death 24 years ago, it is still difficult to cope with the fact that he is not with us.

We lost his smiling face, his sense of humor, his intelligence, his creativity, and his inclusive nature. All those things and much more are imbedded and alive in our memories. Nevertheless, the family misses him terribly…especially today!

Many of you have only heard about Brad, but we hope that, if you knew Brad, you will take a brief moment today to reflect on the child, teenager, young man, student, athlete, or friend that you remember. Then, think about your own family. Love and cherish them and your time together. Each day is a special gift and tomorrow is not promised.

We love you and miss you Brad!

Twenty years ago today our son Brad died and our world was crushed. Brad was a light in our lives and the lives of his brothers and...the lives of everyone who knew him. It seems like yesterday and we miss him terribly.

If you knew Brad, please take a moment to recall an incident, a conversation, even a smile, that comes to mind. If you didn’t know him, thank you for thinking of our family today. We love you Brad.
