Timeline

1954

Born in Texas on October 06, 1954. Brad wanted to move to Missouri, but he always considered himself to be a Texan!

Nov. 3, 1964

Brad was excited to have a new baby sister added to their family. He loved her deeply and thought of himself as half brother/half daddy to her.

June 1973

Met Pam Hill in Texas on a blind date arranged by mutual friends, Mark and Marsha.

June 7th, 1975

Married Pam Hill in a double ring cermony at Praire Creek Baptist Church in Plano, Texas. Best man, long-time close friend, Robin Lyle and Matron of Honor, Pam's sister-in-law, Carol Hill.

January 5th, 1978

Our first child was born with a head full of Brad's black hair! Our little "Melody of Love."

September 26, 1979

Our second baby. Cuddles, hugs, and laughter almost right from the start and certainly straight to her daddy's heart.

October 2nd, 2002

Brad's first dx of cancer, and the immediate start of pre-surgery treatments.

January 15th, 2003

Brad's first surgery for cancer. It was worse than expected, and the road to recover was bumpy, but we had over two more years together after this. I think it was worth it!

August, 2005

Brad begins to have "problems" that are different from the normal issues he dealt with since his cancer surgery and treatments. Hospital stays and tests over a three week period end with surgery on August 25th. Dr. Cates came out to us and told us truthfully that it was very serious and that Brad would not recover.

September, 2005

Brad's sister came to visit. Brad's long-time faithful friends, Robin and Mark, came to visit. My parents stayed close by the girls and me. Many, many people provided love, care, food, support and visits. We could feel the prayers every day.

September 9th, 2005

Brad came home from the hospital, and we cared for him here until his death.

October 6th, 2005

Brad got lots and lots of funny birthday cards in the mail. I sat and read them to him a few at a time. He laughed and laughed over them. It was a good day.

2005

Passed away alert and peaceful on October 12, 2005 at the age of 51, with me by his side holding his hand.
