"It breaks my heart to hear of Badge's passing. He was a nice guy who couldn't hurt a fly. I have so many fun memories of hanging out with Badge, whether it was watching softball games, dressing up for Halloween, going to parties, playing darts, talking about how cute baby Braden was, or sharing cat stories. Badge always made people feel welcome & included. He enjoyed making people laugh. He had a wonderful smile that can be seen in his son, Braden. To the family, I am so very sorry for you loss. My thoughts & prayers are with you during this difficult time. To my dear friends, Nicole & Braden, there are not enough words & tears to express how deeply sorry I am for your loss.

"To the Danielson Family, I want to express my sympathy to you all. Brad was a good guy who always had a smile on his face-even a few weeks ago when I stopped to see him. During that visit Bradon all he talked about was his son and how he enjoyed playing catch with you. He loved you VERY much. Phyllis and Denny you have gone through the worst thing in life that can happen-losing a child. I am so sorry. Rest in peace buddy. Hugs to all !! Cindy"

"Badge was a heck of a ball player. I will never forget what could very well be the best catch I've ever seen. While playing left field, Brad saw that the ball was hit very well and heading out of the park. He ran back to the fence, climbed it, sat on top of it, and with the Badger smirk caught it while sitting on top of the fence like it was no big deal at all. He just hopped down off the fence and trotted back to the dugout in his Jean shorts. Badger was a heck of a guy and will be sorely missed. My condolences to his family."
"So sorry for your loss. Prayers sent. "
