life epitomized purpose . His life was the full measure of being a man in the earth and experiencing its many dimensions as son, brother, father, uncle, grandfather, and more. I sure Brad had no regrets and thank God for all the love, joy, struggles and triumphs he encountered while knowing the God who loved and cared for him through his earthly journey.
