Although I have never ever heard their music, after I read the news on here I went and checked out there myspace and that is just terrible.. Atleast he is in a better place now and will never have to suffer or endure what he has over the last year or so...

RIP Brad

those are really good dudes and friends of mine. its terrible but i gotta give it up to Brad. He fought soooooooooooo fuckin hard and defied all the odds the doctors placed before him. It was almost unbelievable how powerful and courageous he was and is. See you eventually bro.

i was pretty good friends with him, and a couple of my friends were really close to him...around here, it has been pretty rough...he was such a nice guy, and like a superhero who just couldn't die...he beat cancer's ass for so long... but his suffering is over now, and we'll all always love him.

We'll miss you Brad. That's a good band and some good guys, from what I've heard. How sad.

Their MySpace headline is so touching, and almost ironic in an unfortunately twisted way:

"He is home."

Fuck you, cancer.

Rest in peace, Brad.

Reading Brad's last myspace blog just kills me. You can rest now; you're done fighting.

I only got to talk to Brad once but you could tell there was maturity in his voice that could only come from someone who was fighting for his survival. He seemed to live everyday to the fullest.

I was so shocked when I heard about this. It seemed as if he was winning the fight from the last few updates I'd had. He was definitely a fighter though, & he can finally rest now.
RIP Brad<33

he did. and he was unbelievably courageous. aj;sldfkja;dkl
so much so that i think that's why it's so hard to believe he is really gone... we all expected him to get through this just like all the other shit he was put through

Rest in peace Brad.

I'd never really heard of this band before now. After checking out his myspace, it's horrible what he had to go through and he was so young. I'm glad his suffering is over. May he rest in peace.

I saw these guys back in August when he was still in the band. He was such a nice guy. I'm glad he doesn't have to suffer anymore, though.

brad was such an amazing kid. one of the best people i've ever gotten the chance to meet. i only talked and hung out with him a couple times, but i'll never forget those times and i'll never forget this boy. i hope he has fun playing all the punk rock shows in heaven.

we love and miss you brad :)
