They returned to Manitoba, where he opened his own voiceover business and was an instructor for the Academy of Broadcasting Corporation. He also assisted Candace in the running of various restaurants.

Brad decided he wanted a new career something he had never done and became a semi truck driver for Border Ridge Trucking Company. Brad loved working for this company because he always said he was treated as if he was a family member.

Brad was born in British Columbia. He was a surprise baby. His mother along with the doctor thought she was having a large baby. Brent was born and surprise 4 minutes later along came Brad.

The family moved to Grosse Isle then to Stonewall Manitoba where he grew up and attended school.

Brad and Candace met in 1994 and married in 1995. In September of this year they would have been married 31 years. Brad and Candace shared a very deep love and respect for each other. They also shared the love of music, old black and white movies and old TV sitcoms, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and love for all animals.

Brad and Candace attended Emmanuel Baptist Church where Brad was active in the church as pray and praise, announcements and introducing Sunday School.

Brad always said he was an introvert BUT was the center of attention wherever he went. He was loving, caring and always made us laugh. Brad was very knowledgeable and read everything and enjoyed discussing/debating world topics. Ask Brad his opinion, you got it!

Brad fought a short courageous battle and leaned on his faith and belief in Jesus.

Many thanks to Dr. Frazier and the staff at the Palliative Care Unit in the Morris General Hospital.

Special thanks to Pastor Dave Purdy who helped them through this fast short illness.

Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held Thursday May 14, 2026 at 2:00 pm at Emmanuel Baptist Church, 220 Lucinda Street, South, Morris, Manitoba.
