My Best Friend
I always knew that Brad wore a lot of hats (literally and figuratively), but through countless stories, I have learned just how well he wore each one. Brad was a wonderful son and brother. He checked in on his family. He made sure we were apart of their lives and wanted his kids to learn very specific things from them. As a husband, Brad was my perfect match. He helped me learn how to get out of my comfort zone. He taught me how to think deeply and how to fully enjoy life instead of fear it. He was kind, fun, and everything I needed. Watching him put on the hat of father made me love him even more. We didn’t hesitate to put best girl dad on his headstone because it’s accurate. Brad loved his daughters with his whole soul. He played hard with them, sang all the Disney songs to them, and would take them on the best dates. The roles of a soldier and a police officer were short but like everything in his life, he put his whole heart into them. When Brad became a police officer, he found a home. He felt proud to put on that uniform and get to spend time with his friends making the world better. The joy on Brad’s face when he went to work made the risk of the job seem worth it. He was an athlete, a missionary, and a loyal friend. Even though Brad’s life ended way too soon, all of us in his life are better because of him. Brad loved hard, he played hard and he served hard. We love him and miss him.
