Family was most important to Brad. He met his beautiful wife of 36 years, Diana, at RFI. She was a drafter and as a technician, he found every excuse to be in the office trying to woo her to go out with him. He finally won her heart and they married in 1985. From their marriage they had four kids and two grandchildren: Melissa and Chris Wyant, granddaughter Ava; Nicole Wilson; Brandon and Melissa Wilson, grandson Zayden; and Matthew Wilson. He is also survived by his three siblings: Sandy, Jack, and Pam, as well as nieces, nephews, and extended family. Brad also had a very special relationship with RFI’s founder, Larry Reece, who was like a father to him and so many others within the RFI community.
Brad often said he “gathered his energy from people”. He loved going to industry events, sporting events, family events, and even Costco, where he loved the sport of dodging people and carts! He just loved being around people. God, in turn, used him to reflect the energy he gathered back to everyone he met. He was intentional when he provided positive encouragement and expressed genuine gratitude to those around him. He was a man of integrity, honesty, and compassion for others. He was a gift to all who knew him and he will be missed greatly.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to the American Liver Foundation in Brad’s name
