    Brad was the joy of my life I miss him every day. But I feel him close by many times when I am down. I will be fixing something and think how much he loved what ever I would cook. I miss not having fish in the freezer. I miss not having my best fishing partner with me fishing does not seem the same now. I would fish any time I could hopefully that will change as time goes on. It is hard to belive that God took you from me at a young age and you just becoming a christian. I hope that I will be joining you soon.

    The one thing I could always count on Brad talking about was his family. Lynn you are a lucky lady to have had Brad who really did try and make everyone elses life better for knowing him. He always brought a smile to whomever he was talking to. He is missed but we are all better for having known him.

    I worked at Cy-Fair HS with Brad. I worked in the Attendance Office and he used to come in to our office during his breaks, pull up and chair and keep us entertained with his funny often dry sense of humor. There was never a dull moment when he visited. He constantly spoke of his love for his family. If something broke in the office or we brought in something from home, he was always happy to fix it for us. I'm so sad that he was taken from this world so young but know that he is in a better place and no longer in pain. My deepest sympathies are sent to his family. May the love he had for each of you and the memories you all have stored deep in your heart help you during the difficult time in your lives. God Bless you.

    Brad taught down the hall from me at Cy-Fair HS. If I ever needed help fixing anything in my room he was there. I will always remember Brad standing guard in the hallway, watching students between classes, to help keep everyone safe. Brad taught both of my sons how to weld and a lot of life lessons. I know he was very proud of his children, Mary and Patrick. My son, Chase, and Brad are probably talking fishing and hunting in the great beyond.

    I am sad to hear of his passing. Brad is one of the few teachers I will always remember. Skills he thought me I still use today and I am passing on to my son. He gave so much of his time after school for us to work on our shop projects, they are memories I will have for a life time. My prayers go out to his family.

    I will never forget Brad. I only had one opportunity to hunt with him, this last January 2012. We had a great hunt and spent several hours in the deer blind, where he told me about his family and life.
    I was impressed with his great attitude and love for life and the outdoors. I think he had the greatest care giver. Brad is now at the happy hunting grounds and hope he watches over all of us.
