Michael Bradford Coulter

Michael Bradford Coulter was born in Baton Rouge, LA, on January 2, 1989, to Mike and Rosie Coulter. He grew up in Clear Lake, TX, with his younger sister, Sammy. When he was 13, Brad and his family relocated to Plano, TX, so he and his sister could pursue competitive figure skating. At age 17, he moved to Ann Arbor, MI, to continue figure skating training with his partner, Rachael Richardson. He graduated in 2007 at the Spring Creek Academy in Plano, TX, and continued his education at Texas A&M Commerce. This led to his career as an event coordinator and Figure Skating/Ice Dance Coach.

Brad was known for his energy and compassion. He was funny, loving, spunky, caring, stubborn, analytical, and the life of the party. His infectious personality was authentic and brought light to every person he met. Friends and family would often confide in Brad because he was a good listener and offered sound advice.

Ice skating was Brad’s passion. His favorite feeling in the whole world was the wind on his face. He also enjoyed interior decorating, going out with friends, taking care of his dog, Skyler, spending time with family, and working out at the gym. Most people knew him as Brad, but he was also affectionately known as Bradley, Bradster, Bread, and "Stone Cold Steve Austin."

He went to Panera Bread every day for their hazelnut coffee and all the employees knew and adored him. Brad enjoyed spending time at the skating rink and going to the dog park with Skyler. But more than anything, his favorite place was anywhere surrounded by friends and family. Skyler (a.k.a Mr. Snuggles/McMuffin) was everything to him.

When Brad wasn't reading inspirational books and writing down quotes that resonated with him, he enjoyed watching Queer Eye, 90 Day Fiancé, or Ru Paul’s Drag Race.

Michael Bradford Coulter is survived by his parents, Norman Michael Coulter and Rosie T Coulter of Frisco; his sister, Samantha Coulter of Plano, Grandmother, Jeannine Coulter of Wimberley; and his dog, Skyler the Chow Chow. In addition to many Aunts, Uncles and cousins.
