BRADY ALAN AERTS, 49, of Collierville, TN entered the presence of his Savior, Jesus Christ, on September 1, 2008 following a 2½ year courageous and God-honoring fight against cancer. Brad is survived by his wife of 19 years, Kay, and two daughters, Hannah and Sarah, all of Collierville, TN; his parents, Bob and Darlene Aerts of Mulberry, FL; his sister, Denise Aerts-Stritch of Naperville, IL; his nieces, Theresa-Jennifer Stritch and Denielle-Jacqueline Stritch of Boston, MA; Aunt and Uncle Joan and Joe Bleiceffer; Park Ridge, IL; Uncle Keith Lovekamp, Stuarts Draft, VA; and his Great-Aunt, Mrs. Mary Wetzstein of Jamaica, NY. Brad graduated in 1981 from the University of Florida, School of ChemicalEngineering and was an active member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. Brad spent his entire career with Buckeye Technologies, Inc., most recently as Manager of Specialty Sales. Brad had a passion for the water and boating, growing up on Lake Michigan, fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, sailing in the Caribbean all the while passing this love of the water on to his girls. He was also an accomplished woodworker. Brad was a long-time member of the Boy Scouts of America, having obtained rank of Eagle Scout in 1976. In addition, he completed advanced adult leader training earning his Wood Badge Beads , a significant achievement representing his life-long commitment to the Boy Scouts of America. After coming to know the Lord at age 33, Brad was a committed member of his local church body at First Baptist Church, Perry, FL and Germantown Baptist Church in Germantown, TN. He felt called to serve the Lord on various committees and mission trips, as a Sunday School teacher for children and adults, a deacon, and host home for Bible studies and fellowship activities. His goal was to glorify God and be found faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ. A worship and memorial service will take place on Saturday, September 6 at 10 a.m. at Germantown Baptist Church, 9450 Poplar Avenue, Germantown, TN. A fellowship will follow in the café area.
