Missy, I am truly sorry that you have lost your brother. Words I say won’t help you deal with the pain; however, knowing he is with the Lord will. I don’t know how people without that knowledge and comfort make it, do you? Even so, you will miss him. Bring to mind the good times and that will help.
God bless you and your family. E-mail me? Love, Mrs. Pace
We want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers and we offer our deepest sympathies.
I have some of the greatest memories of Brad (and Missy and Chance) from going to church with them at Victory Baptist. I remember he asked Bro. Kent if there was basketball in Heaven! There are many many people praying for your family.
We were so sorry to hear about Brad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Brad was our very good friend. He played basketball with us and was one of the big reasons Emily became such a good basketball player–Emily thought of Brad as a ‘big brother’. We have some great memories of him at our basketball court and his great years in junior high and senior high basketball. But mainly he was simply a great friend that we will never forget. And we are so happy that he chose to become a crusader for the cause of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ !!! We rejoice with everyone in knowing that he is experiencing ‘THAT GLAD REUNION DAY’ with his Maker. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family—WE LOVE YOU, BRAD.
My prayers and deepest thoughts are with you during your loss. Brad was a great guy and will always stay that way in my heart. Remember all the good times and know that he is in a better place than we.
Sincerely,
Amber Brunson

I was saddened to hear the news about Brad, however I rejoice in knowing that he is with his Heavenly Father. Brad was my classmate, basketball buddy, but most of all a friend. My condolences to his family. My prayer is that you will find comfort in God’s care for His Word says that he came to ‘HEAL the broken hearted.’

Don’t worry about anything, instead pray about everything. Do this and you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. Phillipians 4:6-7
I am so sorry to hear about Brad. He had such a good heart. I cheered at Flippin during the time he was playing basketball. I can still see him out on the court today. He was SO much fun to watch. He made the games so exciting. Knowing that Brad is in a far better place will help you through this. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

It seems like only yesterday we were walking through the halls of Flippin High. I had the honor of being a cheerleader for Brad, doing a funny skit (which he learned how to do a toe touch), but most of all I remember him as a great friend who I will truly miss!! My heart and prayers go out to his family. Thanks for all the great memories Brad.

Brad, you were a thrill to watch play ball; your competitive spirit and leadership inspired all of your teammates, including my son Dane, to be both better players and friends on the court, on the field and in life.
