Brad will be missed in our Hot Wheel Community. I’m am blessed to have met him and Tammy. Prayers for comfort and peace to his family during this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our prayers
I knew Brad for many years, even to the point of seeing his kids become adults. No one was more passionate about cars than Brad, real cars and toy cars. He was truly a miracle, struggling with major health issues most of his later years, yet he never lost his fervor for collecting and sharing stories with many of us. Brad you will be missed. Peace and comfort to all his family.
John, I can’t thank you enough for always being such a great companion to dad over all these years, even throughout the struggles and difficult times. I know you meant a lot to him. You’ve always been like a part of the family 💕
My deepest sympathy to Tammy and children, Mrs. Torrence, Mr. Torrence and Kim. I am so sorry for your loss. From grade school to recently, Brad was always so friendly and kind no matter what he was going through. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
I just saw that Brad passed. Wow. We had some great times growing up together including playing baseball and soccer for St. James. He even helped me get my first job at Forest Park Mobil where we spent many evenings playing poker in the back room.
Adulthood sent us in different directions and I’m sorry we never reconnected. My condolences to Tammy and family.
Managed Brad at one time. He was an employee at Barnes Hospital receiving dock.
Hard worker and dedicated at what he did and achieved.
Knew his mother also when she was employed by Barnes Hospital in the accounting department.
RIP Brad
