Dear Michelle, Bruce, family members, and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult times. I am blessed to have Bradley in my life and I miss him very much. I will always love him.

Feels like this time it just takes a little longer before we see each other again, have a long conversation and a great time together. I would just pick up my phone and call youand you would always answer the phone almost immediately, like you were there waiting for me and always available for me.Every moment with you is so memorable and special...I now live a healthier life because of you. And I even get to enjoy my life a lot more every day, because you taught me what's more important and told me not to work too muchhehe, you are right, there will be always lots of work to do.I am blessed that have met you my dear friend. You cared about me and other friends so much. Everything that you taught me about keeps making a difference in my life and other people. You save many lifes. And I miss you very much and think of you every day.

Dear Michelle, Bruce, family members, and friends:My heartfelt sympathy and thoughts are with you all. Wishing you strength and comfort.I was blessed to have Bradley in my life. He was one of a very few people you meet in life and the very moment you meet you know that his heart is full of love and care for people. I am yet to meet a person who is as generous as Bradley was. His honesty about any subject was so authentic; his life wisdom was priceless; his loyalty was one of rare to find. Quite a few even had said that he was living ahead of this age; he belongs to times when people value true relationships more than fortunes and simply passionate about their callings in life. His personality never went unnoticed - Bradley would always leave people thinking and talking about his way of thinking and being. Many people were touched by the news, he meant so much to everybody. He is truly missed.Since..., there has't been a day that wouldn't bring on memories of Bradley. During moments of heartache, knowing of Bradley's will to all of us to remember him as a person who loved life and according to him Got everything he wanted out of it, makes me smile and helps to continue on this journey with his spirit in my heart and carry on eternal memories of his life. Happy Birthday Bradley. You are very much loved and missed. Sincerely,

Bradleeeeeeey!I know you'd prefer we call on the home phone or better, just drop by so no lectures on how your friends should just expect certain courtesies. Just letting you know Minja has a gig coming up in Mexico  was hoping you could join us like in Vegas. Thanks again for brunch at Bellagio (I know it's your favorite meal well, unless it's Truluck's all-you-can-eat crab night).  Speaking of brunch, the girls want to get together soon, maybe the usual Sunday? Minja's working Sat night so maybe you could meet us at Parish and then perhaps get with Vlada & the gang at the W! Afterwards we were hoping you would come over & talk with Minja about some electronic or computer thing he's doing in the studio. Oh  a movie you say? Ah! That works too.I know that after you finish that work project you have that charity event approaching (yes, we are going). Nastasha will be coming for my birthday (we really appreciate you getting my baby girl to the airport). I'm thinking to have a party but I promise no quiche. As you say boys don't eat fancy food. My brother Tim, says howdy and hopes you'll be in on the next remodel  apparently you're a fantastic carpenter! And speaking of remodels, we closed on that rental property. Let's chat about dcor as you have such impeccable taste. Sometimes a little picky (a little  HA!) but always gotta look good and enjoy life. So glad we can enjoy it together! Cheers my friend!

Happy Birthday Bradley - I will miss you, my brother, my shopping buddy and most importantly my friend. I could always depend on you to make me laugh even when I wanted to cry. I love you and you will always be remembered. Always Lynette

Dear Machelle,Ricky and Bruce,I know how you loved Brad, but God loved him more and is now caring for him. Paul said "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord!!!Shared times, shared memories, shared joys and even shared spats as siblings have; that you can now laugh at just thinking about them will keep Brad close to you.Wishing you strength for today and Comfort in the days ahead, knowing how much Brad meant to so many.With Much Love,Uncle Hollis & Aunt Blanche Mason

Although a light has gone out in the world, it will shine bright in your hearts & his spirit will live forever in your memories .....May God's Love Comfort You in This Time of LossSending Much Love, Prayers & Heartfelt Sympathy to Michelle, Rick, Bruce & families....Diann Alete,Dineca & Stephen; Treadwell family; Bookard family; Smith family; Williamson family

Brad was my word sparring partner. At family gathering we would get into debates and enjoyed trying to prove our point of view. I will miss him.  May God Bless Michelle, Ricky and Bruce and know that your family grieves with you.  God will provide you solace in your hour of need.Your cousin

My thoughts go out to everyone impacted by this loss.  Brad's personality would light up a room and it was rare to meet someone that didn't remember him - even if it was a 5 minute introduction.  When I think of him, it always brings a smile.My most vivid memory of Brad happened 10+ years ago when the Austin data center was newly commissioned and a group of us were traveling there to help get it started.  Brad had his feet propped up on the desk and several of us were discussing some deep technical issue when he (dressed in blue jeans, black shirt, shoes, and belt) shouts out..."My socks is blue!  Why didn't anyone tell me my socks is blue?!!!  I can't wear BLUE socks with a BLACK shirt!  I have to go change."  So off he went  - middle of the conversation - to his hotel to change his socks.  He lived his life on his terms and I admired him for it.

Bradley was a wonderful coworker and will be greatly missed.  I always enjoyed his wit, and his help.  His personality was bigger than life.  I hope his family can find comfort in knowing how well loved Bradley was.

It was such a pleasure working with Bradley over the years. His spirit, his attitude and his persona were very admirable. He will be sorely missed.My thoughts and prayers reach out to his family. Be proud of Bradley. He was very special.

To Michelle and the Washington Family my thoughts and prayers are with you all during your time of bereavement.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Worked with Bradley for about 14 years, he was the first person i knew @ our work, we joined at around the same time, he was always a great personality -- always full of energy, grit, dedication, perseverance, helpful, ...Over the years he had become more than a co-worker, even though he reported to me in the last 2 years of time, he was somebody who could be relied on for anything. No task was impossible for him, impossible was not in his lexicon. His "Can-do" attitude made him stand out and tower over all. Overall a big loss for ALL of us here at work and more than that we have lost a friend who stood by us always.My prayers and thoughts are with his family.

One of the things I always looked forward to when I visited Oracle HQ was seeing Bradley. You always felt better after being with him. He will be missed.

The hardest part of growing older is losing people we love dearly.  I worked with Bradley for over 13 years but we had lots of fun outside of work playing pool and carousing in San Francisco and Austin.  He lived every day to the fullest and was one of the most insightful people I've ever known.  I will miss his presence and sage advice.  My deepest condolences to the Washington family.

Bradley and I worked together for more than 10 years, and our conversations were always interesting.  Bradley had a great personality, and was a pleasure to work with.  My thoughts are with his family, he will be missed.

I miss my brother very much. He enjoyed his life to the fullest. He use to tell me, "You know..you get one summer a year. You've used most of them up, so make sure you do something or go somewhere every summer, so you can make memories". The rest of the year you spend working! He was always analyzing and sharing his logic about life. I will truly miss him, but love him for always. Sister

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this grief time.  I still remember the time when you joined Oracle HQ and we became officemate.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.
