My husband and I loved Brad so much!!! He had a servant heart and he loved JESUS CHRIST!!! His GOD-given talent of piano playing was awesome and has touched many hearts!!!! When you first meet Brad you could see Jesus shining through!!! Brad never complained, actually he was the one that encouraged us. He would call almost nightly to hear our voice. He will be forever loved and never forgotten!!! See you at the pearly gates dear friend!!! We love you!!!

I loved Brad!! We became friends when he was at NSU and I was at Centenary and we served together on BSU state council. I made quite a few trips with him to BSU events--some even after I finished Centenary in 85. I loved hearing him play the piano--what talent he had! Brad even wrote me a few times after our BSU days were over and I was so excited when Facebook gave us a chance to reconnect a few years ago. I am grateful for his friendship and will miss him!

I have very fond memories of Brad playing the piano at Laurel Heights Baptist Church during the time he attended Northwestern. He ate Sunday lunch at my parent's home many times and we enjoyed him very much. I was very sorry to hear that he had passed away. I was thinking about him a few weeks ago and wondered where he was.

Brad and I used to ride to Urania Elementary School together with Miss Pat in her Karman Ghia. He was the nicest person and one of the best musicians I ever knew. He will be missed. My condolences to the Bates family.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I knew Brad while he was a resident hall director at Ball State. He was a great guy who was always fun to be around. The other resident assistants and I liked working with him very much. He was one of the nicest people I've ever met!

Brad will be missed by those of us that worked with him through State Farm. He always made me laugh when He called and he would always want me to take that extra step for him. And what would I do. 9 times out of 10 I would do it for him. He would always say get those important people up in corporate to make there magic computers to fix it. Loved you Brad, I will miss talking to you!!!

Many of us knew Brad when he served on the Louisiana Baptist Student Union State Council. His wit was charming and would have us all laughing and help us relax and enjoy the special moments of college life. His Christian convictions were strong and challenging to all who met him.
He was loved by all of us BSU kids of the 1980s and will be missed.
