I met Brad back in the late 80s at Dome Petroleum before it became Amoco. We did one job on a well in the Caroline field that was making 1/4 of the field production before we frac'd it. (No Pressure as he told me this during the analysis ahead of the job). The job went well and got a nice production increase out of it, so it must have gone up to 1/2 the field production after. I did engineering sales for him there and also as he left and went to Clipper and then Arc Petroleum where he met Maribeth. "I was there at their start". It was easy to see what they saw in Each other as they were each quiet and pleasant and caring people. I followed Brad to Halo even as I went through 4 service companies and certainly am shocked and saddened by this news. I wish the best for Maribeth and kids as they continue on in life unfortunately without Brad to help guide them along. It's a very sad day indeed.

The JARRATT family will miss you terribly BIG Brad! Dan will never forget the very large stone that Brad forcefully removed from the back of the lot at Pastor Ricardo’s outreach in Hunucma, Mexico. Dan recalls it probably weighing 50 kg. Brad just dead lifted it to get the job done.

Brad will be remembered for both his physical and spiritual strength. Alethia will remember Brad as an amazing father, his bottle depot outreaches, and his fearless evangelizing. Also we will never forget his humour. We will always smile thinking of Brad as Moses wearing that BIG wig.

Maribeth, Mateja, Victoria and Adam we send you our deepest sympathies. As you grieve and remember your husband/dad, know that he made a big difference while in this world because He followed Jesus with all of his heart and prayed you all would always do the same.

Love Dan, Alethia, Aidan and Owen

I met Brad almost 17 years ago though cycling. He reached out to us with questions about bicycles and ever since then a friendship developed. This is a man that has a great morals, integrity, great father and husband! It has been a blessing to have known him and his family and our hearts morn about this shocking news! On Monday we spoke on the phone, discussing US politics ( as we always do), cycling ( of course ) and about us coming for a visit next summer to ride! This will always remain in my memories! Our condolences to the family and our prayers are with you all! The Craig family

It was a pleasure to know Brad for the two short years that we knew eachother, helping to grow and build Halo. His legacy will live in in the work though his colleagues and close friends. You will be missed Brad.

Definitely a shock! Brad was my best friend from preschool years to grade 12 where we went our ways to pursue our lives… many many memories that can attest to his unwavering character, work ethic and love for others & life!

I always looked up to Brad as a big brother .. and never thought he would be taken so soon. God had a plan and Brad.. as usual.. completed it…

It’s time to celebrate his life and all the blessings he brought to so many people!

So many heartfelt condolences from the MacWhirter family to Carol, Shelly and family as well as to Brads wife Maribeth & children.

It's come as a great shock to see Brad taken before his time. I recall he was always involved in active pursuits and loved his bike while living a full and healthy life. At times l know Brad also liked to push the envelope of fitness and endurance, testifying to his will to succeed and better himself. I fondly recall very enjoyable lakeside canoeing and mountain skiing holidays in Alberta and BC with Brad and other family members, during his younger years. Unfortunately l have since that time l have not been able to get back to Canada to reacquaint myself with my Canadian family. Brad was in fact more than a friend but rather a brother and part of my extended family on the other side of the world. My sincerest condolences to Maribeth and the children as well as to dear Carol his mother, and sister Kelly. The best ones are taken from us too early but we may be consoled in knowing that he left us doing what he loved. Our thoughts are with you: Tahir and brother Carl - The Australian family connection.

Carol, Shelley and families.

I was devastated to hear of your loss. Even though we hadn’t seen each other in a while, I considered Brad to be one of my best friends and I will always cherish the fun and adventures we had growing. Godspeed Old Friend.

With deepest sympathies
