Brad Townson, a beloved son, brother, and friend, passed away surrounded by love. Brad lived a life full of joy, laughter, and adventure, and he touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Brad had a gift for finding happiness in life's simplest pleasures. Give him some Elvis music and an old home movie, and he was perfectly content. He loved to travel, loved to dance, and especially loved being with his family and friends. His humor, fun-loving spirit, and kindness left an imprint on every person he met.

He had a way of bringing out the best in others-making people feel seen, valued, and loved. To know Brad was to know joy. His favorite phrase, "I know," always brought a smile, because everyone understood it meant the discussion was over and Brad's mind was made up.

Brad especially loved the ARC and the people there, who became such an important part of his life. Though our hearts ache, we take comfort in knowing Brad is reunited with his parents, whom he missed so dearly.

The light Brad brought into the world will continue to shine through the many lives he touched.
