Sending our deepest condolences to Brad's family. He will surely be missed. We valued our time with Brad, the stories of his adventures, and climbing with him when he had his gym.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Brad's passing. He and I were friends, he took me rock climbing in West Virginia and Red Rocks California. Rock climbing frightened me; but, he had a calmness and convincing manner that caused me to climb. I recall awakening while gripping a rock face high above the ground while asking myself - how did I getup here? I enjoyed making him laugh. We had many laughs together. He really enjoyed climbing. I think the exhilaration of it kept him alive. I wasn't aware of his illness, if I had known I would have reached out. I'll miss him now that I know he's gone. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Brad is my Canadian father like he used to say. He is a wonderful human being I have ever met in my life, he helped me a lot when I was a struggling student in Sarnia.
