Brad is my coworker and a friend for many years. He is a loving father and husband, and his family has always been his world. Brad and Jennifer have dedicated their careers to serving the families and students of South Kitsap School District and Peninsula School District, going above and beyond to ensure every student feels loved, cared for, and supported. If you have ever had the privilege of meeting Brad or Jennifer, you know how quickly they make you feel like a friend. Their kindness and generosity have touched countless lives in our community.

On Tuesday afternoon, Brad left work not feeling well and returned home to an unimaginable tragedy—he found his beloved wife Jennifer, his son, and their dog deceased. The pain Brad is experiencing is beyond words, and the expenses involved in taking care of everything are overwhelming. As Brad faces funeral costs and the travel expenses needed to bring his surviving daughter Skylar home, the financial burden only adds to the devastation of this loss.

This is our chance to support Brad in his greatest time of need. If you are able to help in any way, your contribution will go directly toward covering funeral and travel expenses, easing some of the worries Brad and Skylar now face. On behalf of Brad’s friends, I am asking for your support and kindness to help this incredible family through the most difficult time of their lives.
