Brad attended AES to become an automotive mechanic and owned Martins Automotive for 10 years in Balch Springs, TX. Even though he did not have the shop, people continued to seek him out for his ability to just about fix anything and continued doing mechanical work his entire life. Brad loved the outdoors and has killed more deer, armadillo, turkey, havalinas, etc over several years of hunting. Along with that, he soon became a machinist and did gun manufacturing for several years. His expertise with all types of gun repair and reloading was what he enjoyed the most. One of his greatest pleasures was going to the river bottoms with his River Rat buddies and blowing stuff up. Brad loved to spend time at the lake, going out in the boat, or just sitting on the back porch looking out over the water and watching the sunset. Bradley passed away December 7, 2012 and will be truly missed.
