I have such good memories of Brad. I remember driving around town in the middle of Summer in his Dodge Dart and having a ball!

I remember his great smile and fun sense of humor. Every time time I hear "Lifes Been Good" by Joe Walsh, I smile and think about him.

His time here ended much too soon.

Chico was a great friend and fun guy to hang out with. I remember swimming in his pool in the summer and driving around in the all so famous Dodge Dart. I think of him often and wonder how his family is doing.

I, too, think of Chico often and hope his family is well. And, yes, "Life's Been Good"--always, always think of Chico. His smile was unforgettable.

"Life has been Good" and we miss and love you Chico! I would give anything to take another ride in the black Dodge Dart with the boys listening to some NWA or Guns-N-Roses! RIP buddy!

I think of Brad often, as many of us do, and despite all the years since his untimely passing. I still miss him. What a sweet, cute young man. I have terrific Halloween pics from 3rd grade of Brad, Scott (Roberts), Kyle (Reichenbach), Jen (Shuster), Jodi (Ross), Colleen (Severance) and myself, all dressed up and acting crazy in Mrs. Van Steenburg's class. How fast and sweet life is. Blessings to Brad's family and all of our memories.

The Ortiz family helped me cultivate much needed spirituality after Brad's passing. Memories such as these certainly help me keep perspective on life.
RIP Chico

Well it's hard to believe that chico has been gone for twenty years.I do to often think of him . I couldn't of ask for a better friend to grow up with he was my best and dearest friend. We first meet in the fourth grade with Mrs. Zito lol man we gave her hell . We lost you much to soon but you gave us all so much while you were here. I to remember the dodge dart and those neutral drops we use to do . I am glad to see your real friends haven't forgotten you . My youngest sons middle name is Bradley after you and one day i will tell him where his name came from and that he should be honored to have it as i am honored to have known you . God Bless and God speed
