Brad was a treasured Son, Brother, Best Man, Nephew, Cousin, Uncle, and devoted Dad. Brad shared the most infectious smile, gentle soul, kind heart, fun loving, free spirit, whimsical charm and his ‘Bradisms’.  His bond with his daughter Lilly was undeniable. Brad took such good care of his Little Lil with Love Love Loves and patience. Together they loved to sing, dance, giggle, read books, play at the park, listen to music, and watch the Broncos.
