I was connected with Bradley through the Smith Center because we shared a love for service and travel, as well as unfortunately having had cancer. He was an incredibly kind, humble and sincere person who I could immediately tell would help anyone if given the opportunity. The world lost a beautiful soul. My condolences to the entire family.

I worked with Dr Randle during his residency at CCRMC in Martinez CA on L&D as a nurse. Bradley was a kind man and always willing to learn. He was a lot of fun. He was a gem to the medical field! Rest in peace Bradley your kind soul and now an angel!

We miss Bradley very much. He is truly kind hearted, friendlier and would try any of our Indian food even if it's spicier. We had wonderful time while we were in Iowa city from 2004-2005. We cherish and praise God for the friendship we had.

I am so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful spirit, much too soon! I loved working with Bradley at Contra Costa Regional. We were fast friends in the fact that we were both from Des Moines. All my best to his family and to the wonderful community that surrounded him along his incredible journey.

My heart goes out to Brad's family. I have had the privilege of working with so many students during my 40+ years as an educator. Brad was a standout in every way. He was bright, fun, loving and kind. He left his mark on many and gave much. His life was a gift to us all.
