Hey man. Sorry it´s a couple of days late. 23rd March is never a nice day, yet even after so long, this one´s hit me one of the hardest. 2 days ago, I found myself reliving that day I found out you were gone. Everyday, I´m loving and missing you. Wishing you were still here. Feeling so sad and angry that you´re not here, when you should be. Heartbroken we never had the time we should have had. Life has changed so much in 8 years, but some things stay the same You´re thought about on the daily. Spoken about when given the chance. So although we´re not with you, we always carry you with us. You mean more to me than I could ever say, and I just wish I´d had the chance to tell you more.
Hope you´re rocking it up there.
From here to eternity, rest in paradise Brad.
Love you bro

Everybody who was lucky enough to have crossed paths with you, miss you so much it hurts. I´ll nip over to your fb page as well. Meantime
Go easy
Step lightly
Stay free..

7 years on the other side bro. And yet it still feels like yesterday. I´ve no doubt you´re still rocking it up there bro. I hope you´d be proud if you could see me now. And although I´m away from family today, I promise today will not go unmarked. And I promise I´ll always try and make you proud in all I do. Love and miss you forever man. From here to eternity. Stay free

Two years in, and I'm still at a loss as to why you. You had so much to give the world. The best we can do, is never forget you, and I promise, we never will. Everybody left behind, misses you, you were the beacon in people's lives, all our lives are so much dimmer now, but we look to the night sky, and see the brightest light in the sky, and know you are watching over us. Love you always Brad.

Hey, happy birthday just once, I wish we could pick the phone up, and say those words. Amanda's racked the shows up this year, think its about twenty so far this year. But she's finished for the summer, so now she can have a well deserved rest. Hope you enjoyed them as much as we did. We'll be remembering you on this day, as we do everyday, only a little more than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow. Take care Brad, go easy, step lightly stay free. Love you always. The old man.

It's been a year Bradley. A year since you were taken from us. I was never ready to say goodbye, and I don't think I ever will be. You've been my big brother all my life and you always will be. A short while ago, I bought a Metallica t shirt and when I wear it, I watch the videos of you in the band. I wear some of your t shirts. I look at the photos of you and I think of all the memories we had. My life will always have a missing piece now your not in it, and nothing can ever replace that. The world has become a worse place since your passing, and heaven has become a better place as they gained a beautiful, loveable soul. I miss you more than you'll ever know. I always look at a photo of you before I go to sleep, and I hug the pillow you bought me for my 12th birthday. I think about you all the time. No matter the situation, your always in my mind. All the photos of you on my bedroom wall represent a memory. Looking at them day and night is a blessing. Sometimes I get emotional, but each tear shows how much I miss you. There's nothing I can to to bring you back physically, but seeing your face when I close my eyes comforts me. Your soul will live on forever. You are the best brother in the whole entire world. I couldn't ask for anyone better. You will always be my brother and nobody can ever take that away from me. You are the biggest part of me. I hope your up in heaven playing your guitar on the biggest stage. I hope it's good up there with all of our relatives that are up there too. I couldn't be more prouder than you even if I tried. Sleep tight, take it easy, stay free. Keep on making your little sister proud and keep rocking on blue. I love you with all my heart Bradley❤❤❤

Andy Mitchell

March 24, 2019

Well, its been a year today since you left us. But you've been in our thoughts every day since then, and will be for eternity. It still makes no sense, but, how lucky we were to have had you in our lives. Keep on rocking wherever you are. Go easy, step lightly, stay free. Love "the old timer". Your words not mine.

Amanda Mitchell

March 3, 2019

I can't believe this month will mark a year without you. It still doesn't feel real, and it breaks my heart wanting to pick up the phone and message you, knowing I won't get a reply :( But looking at your photos comfort me by the day. And I know your always with me, as if your communicating with me in your own way. Keep on making your little sis proud, I love you with all my heart Brad xxx

Merry Christmas Bradley. I hope you're having a wonderful and magical day up in heaven. Today hasn't been particularly easy for us, like any other day since you passed away, but it's a comfort knowing that you're always watching over me and you're always with me, especially this Christmas and tonight when we let the balloon and Christmas card we wrote for you. We are separated by distance and joined by love xxxx

Wherever you are, everybody sends their love. We miss you greatly. Fly high my son. Go easy, step lightly and above all, stay free.

7 months today, it still hasn't sunk in, it still isn't any easier. I wish you were still here to laugh at my jokes, and to be there when I'm sad. But I know you're always with me and I hope your playing on the biggest stage in heaven with nan and grandad and showing them what's what. I couldn't be more prouder even if I tried. I hope it's good wherever you are. I miss you all the time Bradley ❤

Hey bro, sorry I haven't written on here much. But I'm going to say a few words. I miss you so much, words can't explain. It still sinking in that your no longer with us. It doesn't get any easier, it doesn't make any sense. Your my big brother and I couldn't think of a sister prouder. You will be in my heart forever and you are the biggest part of me. I'm still struggling to fall asleep at night. I look at some photos of you and it's so difficult to believe your not with us. The world has become a terrible place since you've passed, but heaven has gained a beautiful soul, and your little sisters hero who is the best guitar player in the world. I bought a Metallica t shirt when I went to a festival and when I wear it, I watch some of the videos you performed in in the band you used to be in. Your my hero, my big brother and my best friend. I think of you all the time, and I wish I could be with you. Keep on making your little sister proud, I know you will. Take it easy, step lightly, and stay free. I love you Bradley xxxxxxxxxxxxx <3
