Brad was an avid outdoorsman and loved being surrounded by nature. He enjoyed his solitude. The most important part of Brad’s life was his family. He was at his happiest when spending time with his son and his many nieces and nephews. Brad also enjoyed being on the pow-wow trail either drumming or dancing and was a flag-carrier.

There are many things Brad will be remembered for; his goofy sense of humor, his corny jokes, and his love for everyone. He had a vivid imagination; this was illustrated by his ability to not take life too seriously and always have fun. Brad was observant and he approached people with his kind heart.
