Brad Pilz

I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to all of the family. For right now, there's no detour around grief, no shortcut through mourning. However, 2 Cor.4:7 says that God can give us, "... power beyond what is normal ", to go from one day to the next. This does not mean that we no longer cry, or that we forget. It means we recover. We recover because of our hope. Jesus Christ talked about our hope in John 5:28 which says, "...all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out ". Jesus was referring to the resurrection. That is our amazing hope! The Bible likens our hope to an anchor. Just like an anchor stabilizes a ship, our hope stabilizes us and keeps us from drowning in overwhelming sadness. 2 Cor.1:3 describes our Creator as, "... the God of all comfort ". One way that God comforts us is by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragement that we need to hear. May the God of comfort be your comfort now, during this time of sorrow.

Brad was my college friend from 1984; business partner in 1991 to 2007 and friend from there until the last day. He was 21 days older than me. We mountain biked together, shared a desk together and relied on each other for many many things. We were close. I was devastated when I heard the news. This news broke my heart.

On the many occasions when I worked with Brad it was clear that he was skilled, ethical, helpful and knowledgable. A credit to his profession, and a really good man as well. I will miss him

I am so very saddened to hear of our loss of Brad. We loved getting together at the Selene Rendezvous in Roche Harbor every spring, and seeing him at the boat shows, too, always greeting us with that Big SMILE of his. He often helped with boat issues and would go out of his way to hlep. He will surely be missed. We will drink a toast to him at the next Rendezvous in April, knowing he wouldn't miss it.

i’m numb i just found out a few minutes ago ..... Brad and I had many laughs together .... shared a couple trips to the fort lauderdale boatshow and many shows here .... he always admired the fact i stayed in the electronics field and i always marveled at him for jumping into brokerage we both had mutual respect and would send leads to each other ..... he always laughed at my jokes even the crappy ones which is pretty much all of them ..... RIP my friend I’m sorry we never got that lunch dialed in .... i only met the family briefly but my heart goes out to them he was a good shit and I’ll miss the looks he gave me when i was being brian

I had the opportunity to meet Brad in the very early part of his career. My first impression was of a person that was enjoying the opportunity of being in the business of being around boats and the good people that enjoyed boating in all aspects. Brad always amazed me in his ability to have a smile at all times. It was always an uplifting experience to be in his company

My sincere condolences to your family during this time. John 11:35 assures us that Jesus understands our pain during our loss and has the power to erase death forever. https://vimeo.com/237368772

Rest In Peace Bradley -you will be missed.
