Brad was always such a bright light in a sometimes dark world! I think of him to this day because of a joke he told me about the Milli Vanilli song, “”Blame it on the Rain.”” The punchline was “”Blame it on Lorraine.”” He thought it was hilarious because my name is pretty close! He’s right…it was pretty funny! We always seemed to cross paths no matter where he was living at the time. It always seemed like no time had passed since we last visited. My prayers are with you Terry, Marian, Rhonda, Kyle, and all of your families. Blessed I knew him and each of you. Hugs.

I only knew Brad from the one year I attended EMC in Billings but I have thought of him many times over the years and I wish I would have run into him when I was back home in Montana. I remember him for being so friendly and good hearted. I am saddened to hear of his passing. May God Bless you with His peace at this time.

I taught Brad when he was in 2nd grade. He was kind and hardworking. A quick sense of humor that filled me with laughter at times. Brad use to wear his Dad’s aftershave to school sometimes, so he smelled great too! I am grateful I taught him as he touched my life deeply. My empathy to his parents and brother and all that loved him. He left with these gift of love.
Dan Ball says

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Terry, Marion, Rhonda and Kyle.
