"I wish to offer my condolences to the family during this difficult time. May you be comforted by the promise of the resurrection and the end to sickness and death forever. God makes this wonderful promise to us at Revelation 21:4 where it reads, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." I hope this message brings you some solace."

"My deepest sympathy to Judy, Matt, Craig & family. Brad will be sadly missed by his Xcel Energy Family. I have had the privilage to work with Brad since 1995 in the waerhouse operations at Maple Grove. Brad was a caring individual and would go out of his way to help anyone and everyone. We could always count on Brad, he took his employment seriously and always did the best job that he could even when he was losing the battle with ALS. I will miss Brad's smiling face. To Brad - God Bless you & Rest in Peace, you will be missed by everyone."

"Brad, We did not know you but in these last few years. You always had a smile and words of wisdom or wit. You loved watching the little young ones as they experienced the venture of curiosity in trying something new having no idea of results. Know that you touched the lives and hearts of many here on earth. You now are at peace with the world and resting in God's arms. Watch over all of us as we try allow our own hearts to mend. "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18 (NLT) "

"Brad you were a second father to me and such a wonderful person. I am going to miss you so much. I know you are surrounded by your Dad and Sadie and the love of God and are at peace now so that brings some comfort. We'll watch over Matt and my mom, don't you worry about that."
