Brad’s occupation was a truck driver, local and

over the road. His career lasted 24 years. Brad saw all 48 states including Mexico and Canada. Oh, the stories he could tell. He got to see the world through an 18 wheeler’s windshield.

Brad is survived by his wife Shirley Chase, brother Todd Chase of Adrian Michigan, mother-in-law Viola Keyser of Columbus and fur babies Susie and Odie.

A service will be private for the family only later on.

I would like to thank Columbus Oaks Nursing Center for taking care of Brad for his last week and also Amedisys Hospice nurses for excellence care given to him.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to Heaven and bring you back again. It broke my heart to lose you, but you did not go alone for a part of me went with you the day God called you home.

God looked around his garden and he found an empty space. Then he looked down upon the earth and he saw your precious face. So, he closed your weary eyes and whispered, “Peace be thine.”

He put his arms around you, and he lifted you to rest. He took you up to heaven so gentle, so kind. He knew that you were suffering. He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on this earth again.

God’s garden must be beautiful he always takes the best.
