Sure wish I could of spent more time with you brother.

Hello,
my name is Brittany and i met Bradley briefly when we were both in Costa Rica this past winter. 

We were staying in the same hostel and bonded over a guitar we discovered there. 
I heard about the accident and found this site, so i wanted just to say how very sorry I am for your family. I didnt know him well, but i could tell that Bradley was a good man. One of my favorite memories of my whole trip was the night we met him and his friends. My two girlfriends and I were sitting around, having some drinks, playing music and chatting at the hostel. All of a sudden this noisy, excited, happy group of people came in and walked past us, until Bradley spotted the guitar, did a double take and came right over. All of us got along quite well and ended up staying up all night in the common room. I spent most of the night, until 5 am chatting with Bradley, just talking, about our trips, about life in general. He told me he was having fun, but he missed home and couldnt wait to be back with everyone he cared about. I have some pictures and videos from that night actually, that the girls and I just love. He made such an impression on us, our new Texan friend. I believe that there is a real hope for the future, that death will be "brought to nothing", and I have faith in a resurection of all those we've lost and miss. Whatever youre beliefs, I hope that you have comfort during such an impossible time. Again, I am so sorry for your family, all the best,
Brittany

Sherry and Danny I am so sorry for your loss. I lost a son a few years ago and know the pain you are going through. I knew Brad for only two short years. He was friend, a confidant, and a straight forward guy. He was one of my best friends. I will miss him very much and wanted you to know that ya'll did a wonderful job raising him. You couldn't find a better buddy, ear to bend, or fun guy to hang out with. I know you will make it through this with all the love, friendship and prayers his friends are sending you. If you ever need to lean, I would welcome returning that favor. Crystal Barrett

Sherry, Chris, and Danny....Our deepest sympathies go out to you.  It is so hard to lose someone you love, and to lose a child or brother, is a pain that is hard to describe.  We have been there.

I met Brad when we were in Grade School.  Even as a kid, he was always cheerful and never had a bad word for anyone.  It saddens me that such a talented, sweet, genuine spirit has left this earth.  He will be forever loved and remembered for he touched many lives. His music will be here forever even if his physical body is not. Fly high sweet Brad and may Heaven rock a little harder now!

There are no words that express my heartfelt sorrow for all of those who cared about Brad,in losing him the world lost a truley gifted musician,and wonderfully kind and funny man.
 My heart breaks for his family and the many people who were blessed by being able to call him friend.-GB

Too bad we lost touch over the years, but I know one day, we will meet again. I will always remember the laughs you brought to me and to other people!! Greg Cargal (Austin, TX)

God needed another 2 angels for his heavenly band. Bradley and Chase played together, rode together and died together. They enjoyed their music and now God will. Their lives were cut so short and they will be greatly missed. We want both families to know that our prayers are with you in this time of your great loss and we pray for something to fill that empty hole in your hearts. You both will be missed at family gatherings but the music you made will live on.

Sherry and Danny, You are in my thoughts and prayers and my heart every moment as you go through these next days.  I hope you can feel a hug across the miles, and soon across the street.  We are here for you.

Brad has made a huge impression on my life; and I am thankful of the time that I got to spend with him.  He showed me how to look at life in another light and to have as much fun as possible.  Defiantly a free spirit that will be missed by so many; my thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Brad was always kind to me and helpful. Most of all he loved his family and it always showed. I have thought many times who was more happy, the ones of us with the fast paced structured life or Brad. Deep down, I think all of us really knew. I will miss him greatly.

Brad was my best friend growing up,he was something else.Never knew anyone more genuine or with more soul.

Sherry and Danny
My heart and prayers go out to the both of you. May God comfort all of Brad's family and friends during this difficult time.

I feel privileged to have known Bradley and blessed to have a ton of memories to go with it. My heart aches along side of his family and friends.

Brad was at one time like a son to me.  His free spirit and way of thinking always brought a smile to my face.  I had not seen him for a while (since he had been playing music in a band) but when I found out he was gone, I was just devastated.  Please know that you, his family and friends will be in my prayers.  May your memories of Brad comfort you.  God Bless.

Oh Bradley, I could go on and on with stories and memories of you and Josh. You were always like a 2nd brother to me and thats how we treated each other. I will miss your goofy comments that I would make fun of all the time and your sweet face. You were always such a free spirit, and never really cared about what happened next. Thats what I loved about you. I will miss hearing your voice but I know you are making everyone in heaven laugh and smile. Love you old friend!!

Sherry and Danny
