Barb, and family 
Thinking of you during this difficult time, I know you have many wonderful memories to help you during this time.  I will always remember his  grin and  kind heart. He was a good friend in High School.

It was definitely an HONOR AND PLEASURE TO KNOW BRAD!!!!!

Seth, Karla and the Cross family, 
We are thinking of you and are heart broken to hear about Brad. Sorry we can't be at the service, but please know, Seth, that Derek and I are both here for you when you get back to Lincoln. I only met Brad a couple of times, but he reminded me so much of my dad that I knew he was a stand up guy. Cherish your memories and remember to laugh. We love you guys.

Back in the summer of 2012 we had the great pleasure of being introduced to Brad Cross through our friends Jeff and Pat McIntire. Brad and His wife Barb warmly welcomed Val and me and our three girls into there home one late Saturday morning. It was the last stop on our week-long vacation to Banner and Kimball counties before heading home. Brad toured us around the stables and fields and eventually brought us back to let us all ride horses in the pens, which was a real treat for all the girls. Afterward we were invited to stay for a lunch - Barb whipped up a feast not to be topped. Then after lunch we practiced lassoing a fake metal steer in the front yard. What an experience for us city slickers! Their kind hospitality left a  permanent mark on our memory.

Each summer after that, Val and the girls got to visit again with the McIntires (while I had to stay at home to work during peak construction season).  Eventually as our affections grew for the area we had the privilege of getting some farmland that just happened to be next to the Cross ranch.
We couldn't have asked for better neighbors. 
Brad and Barb have always been incredibly gracious and hospitable toward us.
I even had the joy of helping Brad (with Jeff M) work on repairing a good stretch of some of his fence last October. It was hard work but well worth the experience. Brad was patient with me through much of it, and it was a thrill to get my hands dirty with my new neighbor and friend.

We just saw Brad and Barb two weeks ago at Frontier Days. It was the last Saturday parade and Brad was doing his usual thing driving a vintage carriage pulled by King and Queen. The senator and his wife were no-shows for the ride, so our girls jumped in the carriage at the last second as fill-ins and got to ride the route of the Grand Parade!
All this to say that our hearts are broken right now at the loss of a friend and a great man.
Brad will be greatly missed but know that like most of you, he has left a major impact on our lives and we will always cherish the memories and bonds that were created.

To Barb, the kids, Brad's mom, and the rest of the family, we are praying that you would find God's comfort (Matthew 5:4) and peace (Philippians 4:7) during this difficult time.

Lord bless you all and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Our deepest sympathy,

Steve and Val Johnson and the girls.

When someone you love becomes a MEMORY, the memory becomes a TREASURE.   Peace be with you.

What a neighbor.   The very best.  When I bought the Ruhl Ranch I drove down to Brads Ranch and told him Good Fences Make Good Neighbors.  He told me if you have a good neighbor, you don't always need the best fence.That pretty much tells it all.  Glad I got to have an iced tea at Joes with Brad Tuesday.  My best to the family..

Words can not begin to express how deeply saddened I am to hear about your loss.  I want to let you know that you are being thought of and my heart goes out to you and your entire family during this difficult time.  I am certain that with the grief of the loss, there are still many things to do on the farm.  That work never stops.  Please allow others to help out.  The same day that I learned of the farm accident, I also received a phone call that my dear friend, Marilyn, who was my very first real friend that I met in Washington, DC passed away from cancer.  She fought a tough fight.  Life doesn’t always seem fair but we just need to trust in God that he has a plan for all of us.  We don’t know what that is but remember that you are loved and I hope you can find some peace throughout the next days.  

Your friend,
