His mom wanted to express her gratitude to this community, "Thank you guys for everything he really loved his van... and everything ya'll did to make our lives easier. We really appreciate it."

We at Chive Charities and theCHIVE community are doing the same. Remembering his smile and the fierce joy he brought to the world... and taking comfort in the fact that he passed peacefully in his sleep and is no longer in pain. We will never forget you, Bradan. Thank you for letting us be a part of your life.
