It is with great sadness and shock that we learned of Brad’s passing. But it is with happiness that we remember how fun it was to know and work with Brad. While working together for Ty Inc., our common experiences created strong and lasting bonds of friendship. Brad was a steadfast shoulder of support through some trying professional times. Whenever we came together for meetings, we always made time for laughter and friendship; and Brad was at the center of it all! He would be proud of this legacy of joy. We send our sincere sympathy to Melody, Gage, Max, and to Brad’s entire family. Susan Smith Ann (McKenna) Benson Shelley Lee
