Brad Anderson Obituary

Brad Gene Anderson, 56, of Oak Harbor, OH died June 28, 2025 at his home. He was born on July 8, 1968 in Sandusky, and adopted as an infant son by the late Gene and Nancy (Rauch) Anderson. Brad was a graduate of Oak Harbor High School and Terra State Community College.

He operated Brad’s Firearms and Training and served as a licensed gun dealer. He provided training in concealed carry and was an avid firearms collector.

He was never happier than cruising the Portage River on his boat or attending a tractor pull with friends. Brad loved his dogs Naja and Bella. He never met a gadget or piece of equipment that could challenge his tenacity and patience in repairing and building equipment or firearms.

Surviving are his brother, Bart Anderson of Cleveland, OH; and, Aunt: Nancy Logan of Lansing, MI.

Memorial services will be held at later date.

Private interment services will be held at Union Cemetery, Oak Harbor at a later date.
