Brad was the first friend I made on here. Last night I went back and read a lot of his posts and through the PM's I still have. Wish I still had the thousands of PM's we have sent each other over the years. He was the funniest guy on here (especially when unfiltered...ha) I will truly miss him. My heart breaks for his parents, wife and daughters. I met his dad through work about 8 years ago and finally got to meet his mom about a month ago when I stayed the night at the hospital with him (his mom is pretty funny too). His daughters are great kids and the same age as mine. Andrea is an amazing lady. Through all of this she has kept it together better than I could have ever imagined. She just started a new job a month ago to add to the stress, but I never saw her waiver. Her faith in God has been an amazing thing to watch.
If I had to pick a best day it would be when we went to the ranch (some of you know it) with our daughters. Found a bunch of petrified wood and a few fossils, watched the girls catch a ton of bass, got to watch the girls hold and pet a newborn calf and then sat and had good silly conversation at dairy queen with our daughters. It was a good day...whew..tough
I will miss you my friend, thanks for the memories
What a maroon!

No question - Brad's whit and humor will always stand in my mind as the best on the forum. I never got to know Brad which makes me darned sad.
When I read of the many friends who know Brad personally and the kind words they have to say, it sets me back in my chair to say....what will my legacy be?
Many that I know outside of the forum get a chuckle that I bare my soul to many I don't know on the TFF. Why do we do this? I will tell you why I do this...because I have a desire to continue to meet awesome people and touch those that I can help. This is my get-away in the middle of a crazy day. Reading Brads posts ALWAYS made me laugh. Hearing of the kindness and rare combination of humor and empathy that Brad has exemplified in real life situations simply drives me to get to know more of the good folks I call my forum friends - I definitely need to convert more of my forum friends to folks I have shared a beer with and more importantly get to know more of you.
With a heart full of love I share that Brad will not be replaced - no one here can be Brad. But we all can take a little of Brad and tuck it into who we are.
God Bless all of you close friends, the family, and anyone affected by this most awful prognosis. I could not be more sad right now for all of you.
With Brotherly Love and tears running down my face - Catch the world record in Heaven Brad and I look forward to meeting you on the other side.
Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.

I will always remember him for his darn fast wit. I've been reading his posts for a very long time, and he was truly loved around here. He is a true legend. May he rest in peace.

Always good times  The last time I saw those 2 together (Camp Craig Allen Benefit) Brad was on Toons smoker trailer helping out. He was in shorts, when he came off the trailer he mentioned how red and hot the back of his legs were from the radiant heat.  They looked 2nd degree to me, but he took it as a badge of honor. I use to run into him at ALbertson's often and we always had some fun talk. Gonna miss ya bud!
Some folks mouths, flat out runs their minds.

Brad's dry sense of humor will be missed. Prayers up for his family!
If someone can PM me his address, I'll get something in the mail from the TFF.
