Gone Too Soon. Bradley Hatchett
Donation protected
As many of you guys may know, Bradley Hatchett was a victim of a hit and run when he was struck and killed by a vehicle in Thornton, CO on 22Feb2020. A very unexpected and heartbreaking death. It saddens me when one of my brothers fall, but hopefully this shows the world that veterans always strive to catch each other and our families.
Brad was a Combat Veteran. He served with D Trp 1-33 Cav 3rd BCT (Rakkasans) 101st ABN DIV as a 92G Culinary Specialist. All of us can attest that Brad was different than your average soldier in many ways and that's what made him special. I remember him as always laughing and cutting up and always down for gaming. He never let a lot of things get to him, if anything. He was hard working, dedicated, and would always strive to make sure that the joes were taken care of. Although I only deployed once with him, I saw the impact he had on the people around him and was sad to leave him, when I PCS'd. His personality shined, always. And with that, it always pushed people to see beyond the negative of things and focus on the positive.
With this unexpected tragedy, he still found a way to help others. He was an organ donor and I got word that his liver and a kidney were viable enough to donate and on their way to save the lives of 2 people.
If yall feel called to give, please do. Whether it's a monetary donation, sharing this, or send prayers and positive vibes to his family during this hard time.
Til Valhalla, Brother. RIP
