Donate to the Bradley Reeves Memorial Fund

Hi, I'm Brad's oldest sister, Tanya. On behalf of our family, I'm setting up this gofundme account to raise money to pay for Brad's memorial and to donate to the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America .

My brother passed away suddenly on 3/13/23 from complications related to Sickle Cell disease, a painful and deadly illness that has claimed too many of our family members. Brad was an intelligent, deep, and unique individual, who was known by many for his friendly demeanor, loyalty to his friends, and love for his family. Despite his illness, he was able to find joy in music, writing, reading, and culture, which helped him cope with life’s challenges. Brad will be remembered for his many positive qualities and his ability to find joy in life despite the difficulties he faced.

He was always looking for ways to help his musician friends secure gigs, and he remained creative, including working on a documentary about the history of Hyde Street Studios, which is currently in production. However, he also struggled with pain from hip replacements and the intermittent crises caused by the disease that occurred when sickled red blood cells obstructed the small blood vessels that delivered blood to his bones, resulting in pain in his back, knees, legs, arms, chest, and stomach. Brad was experiencing a crisis on the night of the heart attack that ultimately claimed his life.

This memorial fund will be used to cover the expenses related to venue rental, catering and a donation to the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America in memory of our beloved son and brother.

Our family thanks you in advance and appreciates anything you can offer.
