When I reviewed Brads application to the CCRMC residency program years ago, realized that he was the epitome of the physician model we hoped to build and sustain our program with. He did very well in his training and it was certainly a sad time when he was diagnosed with such a terrible diagnosis. True to his spirit however he has lived a useful, kind life at a level most of us could not even hope for.
Farewell dear one. Your family and friends have all been blessed to know you.

I worked with Bradley for 3 good years as faculty and mentor during his time at Contra Costa Family Medicine family medicine residency. He was humble, kind, inquisitive and always trying his best to care for his patients and colleagues. I was not.aware of his diagnosis and hope that his family and friends eventually recover from his too early loss.

Very sorry to hear this news. Bradley was my cousin and although we didn't spend a lot of time together, I remember him being an amazing person with a combination of kindheartedness, intelligence, multi-talented and a great leader. I regret that we lived so far away from each other and I wasn't able to get to know him better. I look forward to spending time with him in eternity one day and I express my condolences to his family. May the Lord give you all peace through this difficult time.

Brad and I have known each other since our days at Oak Park Elementary. He likely didn't know this but I saw him as my academic competitor. He challenged me to be a better student. Even at a young age, his intellect was impressive and intimidating but I was always glad to call him a friend. Although our social circles changed as we grew older, we were always friendly and I'll always remember him for his kind heart and gentle spirit. A few years ago we were able to meet for lunch as he was driving through my part of the country. I was glad to see that he was still the same old Brad, doing what he could to help the world. The world will be a little less bright without him but many lives have been touched for those lucky enough to have crossed paths with him. Condolences to the Randles family. May your memories of and with Brad warm your hearts for years to come.
