Brad grew up in Minneapolis and graduated from De La Salle High School.

Following his service, Brad returned to Honeywell, where he dedicated 44 years of his life until his retirement in 2008. He then enjoyed working as an agent for Delta Air Lines until 2014.

After retiring, Brad and Katy enjoyed traveling around the world. They moved to their beloved lake home in Outing, Minnesota, where they cherished time with family and friends. Brad will be remembered for his dedication, work ethic, and love for his family.
