I’m sorry for your loss.
Brad was a kind and patient boss and he always had your back. He loved his family and talked about you often.
Brad didn’t only become a friend to me, but also to my parents and aunt and uncle. We’ll all remember Brad and smile at our memories!
Think of you all during this difficult time.
Rest easy Brad. You left a mark in many lives including mine. We met in middle school and hung out throughout school. I moved away, but whenever I would come to Fenton I would look him up and we would catch up. The last time was in August 2018. I am grateful to have had Brad as a friend. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
I would like to send my condolences to the Family and Friends of Brad. He was a good man.

40+ year friendship Brad was the guy you could call any given time for help and come hell or high water, sickness or health he’s there. Family game nights and helping one another with food.

I remember Brad at Elisha and Abby’s wedding. He and Bob Eaton stole my heart; what wonderful and supportive fathers.
My heart breaks for all of you.
Love to you, Marjie.
I met Brad in school on the playground 🛝 and to find out that he lives down the road from me on white lake Road. He would always come over and we played a boy named Sue so many times. And one day I yelled out hey Sue and he laughed his ass off . He had a go cart and his grandfather 👴 had turned the governor down. It was too slow. So we cranked it up lol 😝 I will miss you 😢 he was a great man 🧍♂️ a great neighbor who I loved 🥰 like a brother 👦 I never had… Rest in peace brother…
I met Brad at the 2018 Hash Bash. We became fast friends. Reading the obituary, I love him even more. He was the honorary ‘muscle’ on the steps of the Diag. He will always be there in spirit. I wish we had some more time to get to know each other. We’ll see him down the road. Much love to all the family 🙏☯️❤️
