In his younger days, Brad loved racing, from motorcycles to race cars. If he wasn’t racing, he was watching the races on the screen. He never got tired of Nascar racing or Daytona.

Brad graduated from JA Fair High School and then attended Henderson State University for 2 ½ years. He was a mechanic for many years at The Tire Shoppe in Little Rock, which was owned and operated by his stepfather, Jim Dwyer. In 2010 the business was sold. Brad became ill with kidney problems and was on dialysis for several years before having a kidney transplant. He later developed heart issues and had open heart surgery but continued to fight the medical problems that he had, never giving up.

He leaves behind several aunts and uncles and several nieces and nephews. He leaves behind one precious animal, named Luke that has been his loyal companion for many years.

Preceding him in death on January 14, 2018, was his stepfather, James E. Dwyer. Preceding him in death on January 6, 2023, was his stepbrother, James Craig Dwyer.
