I was just drinking from my; BCtruck "Rebuild,Repair, Repurpose" mug the other day thinking about him. For my birthday years back he just randomly sent it to me, I remember thinking about how super nice that was. I send him one of my Dads portable multi band radios, and then he sent the dogs some freeze dried dog treats he was making at the time. It was like having a neighbor that was just a few thousand miles down the road.....
Charly, thank you so much for sharing Brad’s celebration of life. He touched so many lives thru his youtube channel. I remember telling Brad that I judged a man’s character by the way he treated animals and he showed his true character every day I saw him. We all have flaws but Brad was high on the list of good men I have had the privilege of knowing. I pray that God will ease the pain of your loss and replace it with the memories you have of the good days with Brad. Phil
Beautiful tribute for Brad, he had a very full life and always a great sense of humor. I do miss his morning videos and all the projects he did over the years. I think the hardest one that sticks out in my mind was him digging that well. That was hard one, but he was determined and he persevered. I hope you and the fur babies are doing better. You are in my heart with many thoughts and prayers!
That was amazing. I had forgotten a lot of those older ones. This is something for all of us to remember him by. Thank you for putting this together, Charly. I hope you are getting better.
You did good Charly! I am working on a film this week and today I was thinking that Brad would like this one and then I remembered he isn't here anymore and I missed him and it still doesn't seem real, and I can't even imagine how you must still feel. I liked the video a lot. I had forgotten about the frog in the shoe. Better days ahead. Hope you get a nice price for the motorcycles.
I started my channel in 2007. It wasn't long after that Brad and I connected. We were pioneers. Sad to hear this. Thank you for the video. Peace be upon you and yours. Kevin Bacon
Thank God for cameras, preserving all those memories, even the chicken (forgot her name), got into the Tribute. Brad was the HARDEST working man I've ever known. God Bless You, Charly, and keep you well. Happy Day!
Comment: Sorry for the late post, was at the Volkshochschule learning Japanese tonight. I can tell by all of the rants and the humorous shorts that Brad made that he was a caring and warm hearted man. I have enjoyed his videos from times when his channel was mostly about prepping all the way to that last cleaver he was working on. I always found his opinions and humor very enjoyable. That was a good video to commemorate him with. I hope you are bearing with your loss as best as you can. Knowing I'm the oldest in my family, local and extended means I've already seen all my prior generations of my family and most of my current generation pass. Knowing what all those losses men to me, gives me a little insight to your loss. I can only say it sucks but the pain dims with time. It just really really sucks waiting for that to come. Take care and God Bless you.
@@swedesamurai3331 I was just thinking about you. When you lose the routine and the everything that happens everyday, you look for the other acts that are supposed to be there. Your “comment “ being one of them. I know that sounds crazy but him not being here has made the other things that are a sure thing important. When I don’t see comments from the TH-cam family I start that “oh no” in my gut. I hope that goes away with the heavy grief. That cleaver is still sitting on his table and one in the vise. Thank you
Wonderful tribute to a wonderful man. So glad that you had him in your life while you did. I was happy to have gotten to know him on TH-cam and to have purchased one of his knives for my husband. Cherish your memories of him for you will always have those.
Charly, this was wonderful. Brad always reminded me of my dad, he could build or repair anything. I love all the dog pictures too. I will miss Brad until I meet him in heaven. Much love to you and the furbabies. Love ya, hugs!
Beautiful tribute to Brad. Brought tears to my eyes as I remembered watching so many of the sources of those photographs. You have a treasure in them that no amount of money could be of anything near of value. I know, too, that Brad is smiling at the remembrances of them. Thank you for bringing back those memories. You are in my prayers everything. That everyday there will be times, as you need them, there's only 1 set of footprints in the sand. God Bless. Godspeed as you journey across those sands each day.
@@oldtimerlee8820 thank you for your words of encouragement. The last few days have been rough. I’m trying to wrap up loose ends before I go to the attorney. Today is my birthday so it’s really hard today. I know it’s just another day but it’s another day that the Lord has given me.
@@bctruck HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHARLY! 🎂👏👍👌💓❗❗❗❗❗ I know that Brad is celebrating it for you. In my mind's eye, I can see him looking down and giving you a virtual big pat on the back. Charly, in time it will be easier. I'm living proof of that. Next year your smile will be even larger when you not only thank our Lord for seeing another sunrise, you'll also thank Him for another year!. (Speaking from experience.) It does take time to get all those things sorted out. Especially those that have some type of time restrain or legal aspect. That will become easier, too, as you tick off things from your must-do list. Hope you've recovered from your tooth problems. And, As always, praying that you have a blessed day, especially this one. Smiling, as I type, at that thought. Godspeed as you venture forth.
@ thank you. I have made it to the 70 years that God said I could have. Maybe he will bless me with the extra 10. I’m thankful for everything every single day. I am grateful and thankful Brad got to go home first. I’m looking for that mission God has me here to do. Maybe it will find me. 🥹
@@bctruck In my younger years, I didn't think I'd make it to see the calendar roll over to 2000. Now, 24 years later, I'll hit the 80 year mark, Lord willing. Yes, you have a purpose for still being here. We all do. Will we know the purpose or purposes? Some of them, possibly. All of them, I doubt it. We never know when a kind word to someone putting up stock in a grocery store, is our "purpose" on a given day. Again, Happy Birthday, Charly. May our Lord grant you purposes to take you to 80+. God Bless.
I had to come back several hours later and watch again. Thank you for posting this. Thank you, Brad for being my TH-cam friend. God Speed my Brother in Arms!
Thank you for everything, my man! It's too bad that you had to go, and you had to move on with life. We will always be with you, even if you are living heavenly after! Fingers cross. 🤞
Good Tuesday Morning, Charly! Just a note to let you know you're in my thoughts and prayers this morning. (As you often are these days.) Pray that you're doing well. May God bless your day. Godspeed if you venture forth in this world.
@@oldtimerlee8820 I’m going to put a video sometime today. I had to take a break from everything. I have been working on getting rid of the bikes and (praying) it looks like it may happen. Not much happening other than that. We have had rain off and on for the last couple of days. We still haven’t had a frost. It’s a little cooler but the humidity is still here. Some of the leaves are starting to turn yellow. Thank you for your card. Brad had a lot of good friends and caring people in his life. I think the weather has me in this sit down and do nothing mood. Thank you for your prayers and checking in on me.
❤❤❤I remember himmhaving chickens in la you guys had to give away eggs at a certain point the one thing I do know for a fact he had the biggest heart and to this day I can’t thank him enough with helping me on the road I still have lots of questions because I want to be a owner opp
This breaks my heart. I wasn't close but always wanted to get a knife, just to say mine was one of a kind, just like him. I've been going through my own stuff for a few years, well if you mean sense 2009. I'm so sorry.
Thanks everyone for watching and for all your kind words.
Gone, but Not Forgotten.
He was my best friend. I miss him so much
