What a wonderful concept "practice kindness, mentor a child"

Penny & Family

Our deepest condolences on your loss.

I will personally miss Brad deeply as a friend, fellow Rotarian and exchanger of hole by hole golf stories.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of mourning and remembrance.

Penny I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Brad was such a great guy he will be missed. Sincerely, Linda

Brad was an outstanding Rotarian and a good friend. He will be missed by all.

Penny, I am so sorry for your loss.

Although I only met Brad once, I heard many wonderful stories about him from Penny. I met Brad after a gathering Penny had put together for her sewing and non-sewing friends where she exhibited all the wonderful items she makes out of material. After the event, Donna, Penny and I were on the deck outside when Brad came in. He chatted a bit and then went inside.

It was time for Donna and I to leave and we went in to say our goodby to Brad. Well, this wonderful man had been busy cleaning up all the food and dishes that were used from the party. The kitchen was spotless. What a gem of a man!

Penny and Family - I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Brad's untimely death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. May your memories and love be with you always. With hugs and tears, Adrienne

I am so sorry to hear this, Penny. My thoughts are with you.

Brad did so much for our Simsbury-Granby Rotary Club. I always enjoyed talking to Brad about his travels. He especially enjoyed telling me about Colorado and Jackson Hole. I will miss Brad and his big smile and positive outlook.

Earlier this year, I got to work with Brad and Hartford Sales Office team through MTM Recognition. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with him and getting to know him as a person.

He was a class act and he was the type of person who made you feel at ease when he talked to you and he was funny. Each time I got off the phone with him, I always had a smile on my face for some joke or some funny off hand comment he made.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Penny and his children. My thoughts and prayers also go out to the Hartford Sales Office team.

God bless the Jackson family

Penny, Sarah and Aron so sorry to hear of Brad's death. He always brought a smile to my face especially at Welcome Wagon events and the New Years' Eve party.

I'll never forget what a tremendous support Brad was to the Mobley family after John passed. Brad was the kind of guy with whom you could form an immediate and lasting bond...Which is why although five summers have gone by since our brief encounter, I was completely stung with a heartsick sense of deja vu by the news of his sudden passing. He was a devoted family man and friend to so many. My deepest condolences to Penny and the Jackson family.

We are friends of Aron's, and wish to express our deep sadness. Brad was always a great man to be around. He always accepted and included everyone and made everyone feel part of his family. Always giving, always with great stories, we shared some good times when he would visit Aron in Colorado. Brad, to me, is a man who I would call "aspirational", someone whom many of us would aspire to be as men, as fathers, as friends. We often recount his generousity when he would invite my family and me to dinner, or a baseball game. While he was out west to see his son, he always wanted to include everyone in Aron's life.
Brad left us with a lot of memories and good times. We lost a great man and we will always carry Brad with us.
Zach and Brielle (and sons Nick and Nolan)

Always a great guy. A pleasure to work and talk with. God bless him and his family. He will be deeply missed.

My heart goes out to you, Penny, at the loss of your most cherished friend and love of your life. May Brad,s memory ever be a comfort to your and your children. You are in our prayers.

So sad to learn of Brad's passing. We worked long-distance, together, for many years and he kept those years interesting:) My heart goes out to Penny, and his family, as I know how much he will be missed.. Brad was a good man and great to his customers. Thoughts & prayers to all.

Brad was a great man. His passion to help others is inspiring and his stories were always fun. We are all going to miss him!

Penny, Sara and Aaron I’m so sorry for your loss. Brad was a great man who loved life. He would always tell me about the trips he took and what was going on in his (your) lives. He loved visiting you guys and loved his yearly golf trips with his buddies. He was always so willing to help people and was always so positive, even when things weren’t going quite right. I’m going to miss my calls with him; he could always make me laugh. We truly lost a great guy. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Penny, I thank God for the day you met my son, Chris and introduced him to your wonderful and nurturing husband, Brad. Brad was instrumental in mentoring him through the years. Chris’s sound decisions were not made without input from Brad. Our families shared wonderful holiday events and meals together. Brad’s stories were always the highlight of these events and not to mention his passion for all kinds of food; some I would never consider eating. Just know that Chris and my family will always be here for you. We all loved Brad and he will be truly missed. Love, Gwen, Raschinna, Rondell, Chris, Mallory, Shemar, Cameron, Demetrius, Shane and Shason

Dear Penny and family! We are so sorry for your loss!. Brad was a great guy, who touched lifes of many people (including his neighbors)! He was full of life, loving his family and dogs. He will be deeply missed by all of us. Penny please accept our condolences and stay strong in such a difficult time!

Brad was a valued member of MTM Recognition and an outstanding sales representative. He was admired by his peers and won many awards for outstanding sales performance. He was a good guy who always enjoyed a laugh, even if it was at his expense. He was never too busy to help a colleague or share ideas on what might help everyone become more successful. I enjoyed many good times with Brad and I will miss his hearty laugh, keen insight and sense of humor.

Jackson Family, so sorry to hear of Brad passing, I just had a talk with him last week about some music and concerts .......so sad you will be in my prayers. Karen his Fedx person.....

Brad was one of the best people I knew. Not only was he one of my fathers best friends, he was a friend to anyone that he met. A great golfer, but really shined on the golf course with the hilarious stories he would tell. Brad made everyone feel like they were welcomed where ever they were.

When my father passed, Brad took the time to help my entire family deal with his loss emotionally and even helped with all the funeral arrangements. Brad was there for us when we needed him the most and would often make us smile by telling us stories about my dad that I never heard.

Brad lived his live to the fullest and will be missed by all of us who had the pleasure of knowing him. RIP Brad.

I did not know Mr. Jackson but I know how important he was to Chris Craig who I have known since he as a young boy. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Very sad for the loss of Brad. He was always a jolly man and I am glad I had the opportunity to attend many bar mitzvah and family events with him. Much love to Penny and the family.

Really enjoyed Brad's company and a chance to golf with him. I know Brad was an active member of HRMA and he truly cared about the kid's he was mentoring. His sense of humor and good hearted ways will be missed.

Oh Brad, how you will be missed! You were someone that could ALWAYS be relied on. You made the impossible possible with your optimism and commitment to seeing things through. You will be missed beyond words and will forever be symbol of such goodness and the power of positive energy. You are a rare find in today's world. May your bright spirit live on through all those you touched.
