My heart goes out to you, Lloyd and Lisa. Our boys grew up together, and they are all better for knowing each other. I know that Brad made Gilman alittle "less boring'" for Ryan to grow up here. They were great friends with alot of memories and times that my son will remember always. Brad, we will miss you, and hope you are now at peace. God bless you all.
Your friends always,

Lisa and family,
I don't know how to express my sympathies to you, this is such a tragedy. You know I would not know how to even begin to use a computer if it weren't for Bradley. The first one we got (from santa claus) Bradley came over on Christmas eve very late and helped me set it all up so it would be a BIG surprise on Christmas morning. He was an awesome young man and will be missed by so many people. I remember working at The Dairy Freeze with you guys, those were great times. Remember when that bike ride came through town and it was so CRAZY, Brad and I were just so overwhelmed by all the people!!!! Lisa know that he was so loved, and God has a plan, he always does. I know you don't see it now and I have no idea how you are feeling but time will help and heal. If you ever need to talk or whatever we are here. We all loved Bradley, my kids have many great memories of the good old park days!!! God Bless you and keep you in the palm of his hand. Love and prayers to you, Julie Kopsa

We only knew of Bradley in passing but we could tell he was a very loved person and well liked by everyone he knew. His presence was always known and the place will be a more sadder place without Bradley. Our thoughts go with Bradley's friends and family at this difficult time.

I have a ton of memories of Brad... I spent many summers with him, while Lisa babysat my brother and I. We used to make these really "awesome" ankle bracelets out of yarn and then try to sell them. I think Lisa was the only one that bought them because she felt sorry for us. We used to play at the park for hours at a time with Andrea.. you would think that a park that small would get old, but everyday we found something fun and exciting to do. Everyday at recess in Laurel we would all run to the big tree in the far corner of the playground and play "house". Brad, you will truly be missed. I know it isn't fair that it takes something bad to happen for us to realize how important you were to people, but I hope you know how much of an impact you had on people's lives and how special you really were! I hope you have found peace, please watch over your family and all of your loved ones. We will all miss you!

Brad, I can't believe you are gone. I have such fun memories of you, when we were growing up - I remember working on homework together for Mr. Wheater's math class and you starting your business and telling me all about it. You were a great friend and we will all miss you.
