It’s with deep sadness that Brad has left this world 🌎 too soon. He mentioned to me that he would be glad if he could live to the age of 50 years old. So glad that he exceeded that time. Unfortunately he had a tough life to get there after his lung operation! We will miss his great smile fishing with Mocca ! I’m glad that we were able to become friends with Brad thru Gabriela. We will miss Brad’s dry sense of humour. RIP Brad. Hope you catch lots of fish 🐠
He would come over to are house and talk as we sat out side with are dog MJ ( merry Jane) we would meet him at lakes were he was camping And bs about the one that got away wheel miss him we will celebrate his life in are way
Our deepest condolences to Brad’s family and friends .There was never any doubt how precious you were to him.
We met Brad 9 years ago when we moved to Vernon. Brad was friends with my brother Robert, so we quickly became friends too.
Lots of fun times at the beach,playing cards ,and fun dinner parties. Brad was never one to turn down chocolate cake.
Brad will be missed by everyone who knew him. Treasure the happy memories and take comfort from the fact that he is now free of pain.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Brad, I had the privilage to know Brad and work with him for many years while serving on the Fort Fire Department. I pass my condolences on to the family , Brad was always willing to help and pass on his knowledge to others on the Department making the Department better for our community, he will be missed.
I met Brad working on the rope course of the Prairie Dog Adventure Race, near Andrew Alberta, and we quickly became friends. We spent a lot of great days talking and teaching rescue skills.
After Brad moved to Armstrong he encouraged my wife Anna and I to retire to the area. In 2015 Brad helped us move into our home in Vernon. Many great times with Brad and our family followed.
Summer or winter Brad loved to fish, often it seemed like a competition on who would last the longest out the lake… “Who’s going to call it first?”
Some of our fondest memories are with Brad and Mocha fishing his favorite lakes. At times I wondered who got more excited, Brad or Mocha, when Brad caught a fish.
We will think of Brad every time we are out on those lakes.
Brad will be greatly missed by both myself and Anna.
“Fish on! Brad”
Robert & Anna Crichton
Brad,
Just found out about this last evening and it broke my heart, we talked in February, I just feel deeply saddened.
You taught me so much, were so genuine to me and my family and I will never forget our times fishing and working together.
You were cared for and made a difference in many lives.
Your intelligence and attention to detail is something I will forever admire and mirror.
You are one of a kind, an amazing person and will be truly missed.
Cheers,
With Love from the Fish Whisperer, Heather, Emerson and Maggie.
