Brad....may you rest in peace, wherever you are. Three words which best describe you would be Pompous, Selfish, and Derelict. I can't believe there's no mention of your beautiful, smart daughter Catelynn Ellis born July 27th, 1997. She is a Survivor !! May God bless you, Sharri Robertson

A good man gone way too soon. He’s showing that classic “Brad” trademark, tongue-to-teeth, in this memory photo. I’d recognize that expression anywhere. Classic.
I just received the news today of Brad’s passing. I am saddened at the loss of this good man, though in reality I only knew him personally for a very short time. My thoughts and prayers go out to Karen and his family.
I knew Brad from our time together at Howard AFB in Panama, ’86-Oct ‘87. We were on the same load crew working the O-2’s, A-37’s, and helos, on the line. I never had to worry about Brad or his work ethic. He busted his tail, never whined above the acceptable level of an aircraft bomb loader, and he was always quick with a joke that had you in tears. Sometimes you had to tell him to knock it off, because he could keep em coming. I remember when Brad arrived in Panama and we would jab him for having such a huge upper body, but small legs. He hated leg workouts, so he didn’t do them. Then he’d go ride a bull and wonder why he was so sore, HA! He was hilarious.
I sure do miss this guy, though we lost contact after Panama. Brad is one of those guys that you look back over time and you are happy to have met and spent time with. He was a character, and one heck of a good man, and he will always be remembered as just that, a good man.
Brad, God Speed, Brother. Know that you are missed, but your memory is always with us.
Cheers, Ski.

I met Brad when we were stationed together at Ft. Campbell. He was one our leaders and everyone I knew looked up to him. He was a great leader and mentor, and did so much for us younger guys to teach us. And also keep us out of the trouble we sometimes managed to find ourselves in.

I met Brad while working together and after 4 years of being his co worker he retired. We remained friend and he became very dear to my heart. Brad was just like a brother to me, checking up on me every day with a phone call, we had hours of discussions and many laughs. I was always included spending time and holidays with him and Karen and their family was the best. I'll miss him dearly.
