Well Braddie I just went online to look at my mail and saw the Guest Book. I looked through it and cried from front to back at all the wonderful things everyone said about you. It is 4 days from being 1 year since we lost you. I miss you like it was yesterday. I know I will feel the pain until I die. Your boys are looking good and doing well. Beth Mom and Stefanie are still in deep pain for you.
I LOVE YOU, DAD

We were just sharing the joys of fatherhood, how cool it was to know the song to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse :). You were truly special my old friend, I will miss you, and I can't imagine the loss your family is feeling.  Take care of them, and when my day comes, I'll be joining that long line in heaven waiting to see you again.  All my love and pride for you and your family.

To my precious son!  How can I  ever  be the same! I huge piece of my heart is gone.  But...I know we will meet again my precious boy.  I thank God that you had such a full life

Brad, you and Stef were my pre-training for motherhood! Knowing both of you since you were born has been a blessing. I can still remember your beautiful curls that we all envied, your wonderful devilish smile,running down the driveway in Bridgewater screaming that I couldn't catch you, asking me when I was going to put a real baby in my old cradle along with my dolls and thinking that as a teenager you were going to beat Uncle Walter in basketball, one on one. The memories just go on ... you will live in my heart forever.
Love Aunt Gwenn

Ron,Nina,Stefanie and Beth..Please know that if there is anything you need or we can do, please do not hesitate to ask, we are here. Brad left a heartache no one can heal, his love leaves a memory no one can steal.May God bless you and give you the courage and  strength. need. Love..Gwenn,Walter,Taylor and Troy

Such a shock with all of this. Brad and I were friends all through high school and after. He left a mark on me and will never be forgotten. My heart goes out to his entire family. I wish there was a way to take the pain away from you guys, but keep in mind, God takes only the best.

 am so sorry for your loss Mr and Mrs Pavao.  Talking to my mom about this and remembering cub scouts with Brad.  Always smiling.  We spent a lot of time together in High School as well.  I know he is looking down on you all and will be forever.

Nina,Ron,stefanie..I was so saddened to hear of the passing of brad..although its been many years since i saw him i can still see that smile that lit up a room..and as i look at the recent photos of him i can see that smile did not change..there is no loss greater than one of a child..no matter how young or old that child may be..but may your memories of him give you comfort and stregnth to help you through this difficult time..may god bless your family.. cheryl(natasha&alyssa's mom)

To all of the Pavao family,

While my wife & I never had the pleasure to meet or know Brad, we are truly saddened by your loss. When God takes someone so young, we all must trust and believe that there is a greater plan at work. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

To the entire Pavao family, 
I am so sorry for your loss. The years I spent with Brad in New Jersey have been deeply missed since my move in 1996. He was a friend that, to this day, has not been replaced; and probably never will be. I will never forget him or the many great times we all spent together.  

My deepest sympathies,

Our prayers are with you and your family. Steve and Judy

Dear Beth, Mason Nicholas and family,
There is very little we can say to ease the pain and sorrow of your loss. I hope that knowing that our thoughts and prayers are with you will bring some comfort.

I went to middle school and high school with Brad and I will never forget that distinct and special smile he always had. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during this extremely difficult time and always.

I don't know the right words to say but I want you all to know that you're in my thoughts and I am so sorry for your loss.... Brad... I have memories of us as kids growing up but I wish I had the opportunity to know you better in our adult years, we would have been great friends... You really grew into such a wonderful man which is easily perceived through the words of so many people that love you and miss you very much....

Truly our hearts are breaking for you and your family.  I will never forget Brad's smile and laugh even after all these years since Turnbull Place.  Prayers and love to your family.

I am so saddened by your loss.  Brad was a great guy, a loving husband, father, son and a true and loyal friend to those who were lucky enough to be his.  I shall never forget him.

God Bless you and your extended family.  May you feel God's peace soon.  Debra Murray (Ray and Carol Britton's daugther)

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. I have known Brad since Kindergarten and have loved that infectious smile and sense of humor. Brad will be greatly missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.  I met Brad in Kindergarten and loved that smile and sense of humor since then. 
He will be missed.

Nina, Ron and Stef-
My thoughts of Brad are mostly of the adorable little boy who used to come play at our house with Mike.  Brad had that quick smile and such mischievous eyes! The recent photos you've sent of him and Mason show the wonderful dad he grew up to be. I know how proud you were of him and the family he created. There can be no understanding of this tragedy.....All we can offer is the most sincere and heartfelt expression of grief to let you know you  are in our loving thoughts and prayers.

Beth & Family,

I cannot even begin to express how sad I am over hearing this news. I was never fortunate enough to even meet Brad, but I know he must have been someone special if you were with him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time and I hope that one day soon I will be lucky enough to meet Mason and see that side of Brad.

Nina & Ron, The last time I saw Brad be was just a baby,but if he was anything like the both of you he must have been an amazing person.Although I grieve for your loss....Brad is God"s baby now and certainly a welcomed addition to God"s family in heaven. Until that day when you all will be reunited with Brad my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God bless you. "a friend from the past" Paul Chemidlin,Basking Ridge,NJ

Ron, Nina, Stephanie, Beth and entire family:
Be assured you are in our prayers daily. 
We had our entire church pray for you on this past Sunday.  May the Lord comfort you and heal your broken hearts as only He can.  We will be continually praying for you.  We love you all.
Carol, Ray and entire family Britton

Dear Nina and Ronnie, Many years have passed since we sat together at Eisenhower School watching the boys play basketball.  Brad is always the first name that comes up when our family reminisces of those days.  Brad and J.R. shared a great friendship then and good times growing up.  They had just recently reconnected on FaceBook and Brad posted a picture of them at their 8th grade graduation in caps and gowns.  I cannot imagine your sadness.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you both.  Brad was so special....

We are so sorry for your loss.  Brad was a wonderful person.  May he rest in peace.

To my dearest sister Nina, and to Ronnie, Stef and Beth, i cannot say in words how i feel about the passing of Brad. i'll always remember him as a very cheerfull and good natured young man. he will be missed. my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
love uncle Eugene.

Nina, I don't even know where to begin.  I am so very very sorry for your and your family's loss.  You are in my thoughts and prayers always.

I am having a hard time finding the words to express my shock at such a loss. Taken too soon, with so much living ahead of him. My sincere condolences to the entire family.  Try to find comfort in one another at this difficult time.

Such a tradgedy, so young and sweet. My prayers are with Brad's soul and his family. With loving thoughts, the Schultz Family.

Aunt Nina and Uncle Ron,

I was given a gift by being welcomed into Brad's life. His smile and kindness never changed from when we were kids. After so many years, I couldnt believe how easy it was to just be ourselves. And ourselves were so much alike , that we had a great laugh about it.  I will never forget that laugh and what it did for me. 
You've raised such a great person in Brad, and his life has made mine so much more complete and I pray you both find a little more strength from knowing that. 

With all of my love, 
Your niece

Dearest B-Rad,

We can not even begin to express how saddened we all are with your passing. It seems like a bad dream and we are all praying for it to end....this is so hard for us to believe. We cherish every moment we have spent together.... as we know, have been nothing but funny moments to top it off. You have touched a part of our hearts and you will be truly missed and never forgotten. You were and amazing husband, father and friend. There will not be a day that passes that we will not be thinking of you...esp when i wear my sweats! you were the only person that would make fun of me and then laugh with me about what you said....going to miss that so much. But I will think of you every time I wear them and have a nice laugh while wearing them. We are all here to support your family, please watch over them and protect them at all times. We pray that your family can find comfort during this hard time and also may you rest in peace watching over them. Until we meet again....we love you buddy!

Love, The Bachur Family

My dear friend Beth,
Although I only met Brad one time, once was enough to see the love he had for you and Mason.  There is no rhyme or reason as to why this happened to such a wonderful person but take comfort in knowing that he will always love you and your sons.

Pavao Family,
My deepest sympathies to you all. May you find comfort in the wonderful memories you have made with Brad throughout his time here on earth, and knowing that he will now be looking down upon his family protecting those he loved so much. I went to high school with Brad, and eventhough this doesn't seem fair it has made me remember all fun times we all shared with him, so many years ago.  Rest in Peace Brad.

It was a blessing to have you in our lives and be able to share wonderful memories. You will  be missed dearly but never forgotten.

It is so difficult to come to terms over Brad's passing away.  I will always remember his smile, how quick he was to help us in the office when he could, how proud he was to be Mason's dad and how much he loved and supported Beth.  We will miss him.  Love Meryl and Matt
