Brad graduated from McPherson High School in 1979. He loved sports and was very active in them in high school, playing basketball, baseball, football and track. He was an avid enthusiast watching college and pro sports on TV. Brad took great pride in the management of Wendy’s in Salina and the mentoring of so many young people. He was part of a close community at the lake partaking in many get togethers for anything that was cause for celebration or competition. He was so excited about the golf cart he won at a recent raffle. Brad and Brownie spent many evenings together devising plans to build and redesign a wide variety of projects and then putting that into action. Brad delighted in treasure hunting at auctions and sales. He loved his family and most recently was playing a huge role in caretaking for his Dad, who is on hospice care. We were blessed to have spent many hours together as a family for the past year doing just that. Brad’s last days were spent calling and visiting with family members, making sure his Dad was in touch with them.

Brad was such a caring, sensitive person and was loved by all who knew him. He will be dearly missed.
