Yesterday during work our friend passed away. I am not sure if I should or wanted to post but I here I am. Big Brad has been a great friend of mine for 20 years and very close to the Swasey family. No matter what he called me everytime he was going to the lake. He was a great dad and husband, everytime I spoke to him he talked about his boy Max and his football career. Hard to find a more dedicated dad than him.

I will miss my friend.

I’m truly in disbelief, 50 years old, really??? Brad and I go back to when we were kids and have been buddies since. Lots of great memories and shared times, enough that I could write a loooong book about.
I’m glad you posted here JD Dearden, I know Brad touched many here with his Lake Powell threads, his Howard build thread, and various others.
He absolutely adores his wife Leigh and son Max, and lived to take them to the lake, to Moab, to events, to dinner, and honer them with everything he did.
Godspeed my friend, you will be missed immensely.

Damn! Didn't know him well but he made a point of introducing himself at an event a few years ago. He was a customer and we had exchanged emails previously.

May seem trivial but it says a lot about a person when they go out of their way to say hello and make a face to face introduction when they could have just as easily gone about their business. Glad I had a chance to shake his hand. Thoughts are with his son and wife. What a horrible blow.

too young, too soon.

Prayers for his wife, son, and extended family and friends...

 

[McKay]

Damn! Loved running into him seamed almost monthly somewhere near Escalante! Now I wished I stopped to talk with him a few weeks ago when he was floating outside in the channel. Chose to just do a quick blow by as I knew he liked that.

Damn RIP Brad

Well, I was sitting there by him In my Lavey when you two blew past which was bitchin! Brad and I talked about how cool your boat is and he told me what a great person you are. He loved the high speed pass, you should consider that a conversation with him!!

Met Brad a couple of times on Powell. When docking at Dangling Rope you have to watch out for the German tourists, so when I actually saw another Howard at Dangling Rope, I knew I could safely dock next to him without worry. Damn!!! RIP Brad. Prayers to the family.

Well thank you. Still wished I would have stopped and said hello again. Really a good dude that left too soon!

Wow! This is a surprise. I grew up with Brad, unfortunately I have not seen him in a few years we have chatted on here over the past few years. RIP my friend.

 

[JD D05]

Brad loved Budweiser and I happen to also. Friends were sending pics all weekend drinking them ha. We had a little get together on Sunday...

 

[Tamalewagon]

Very sad. Rest in peace Brad.

 

[NuckinFutz]

He will be missed by many. Ran into him years back in his DCB at Powell and then continued when he got the Howard. Wasn't until the past few years that we realized we went to high school together. I feel lucky to have spent time with him at the lake and he always called just to say hello when headed to Moab. RIP .

 

[Mandelon]

Way too young...

 

[HBCraig]

RIP Brad.

Godspeed
