My thoughts and prayers go out to the Canty family. Brad was in the C wing hall at HHS each morning with his friends and I was always glad to see the group as they were always ready to greet me. Often times Brad and his friends were the first people I would speak with in the morning. Brad would frequently stop by the shop to see what everyone was working on. He was always smiling during those visits. He was on the roster for team robotics in the fall. I will think of him often this coming year during that class as he will be missed.

My heart is with you during this difficult time. Prayers and peace for the days to come. Love, Sarah

Posted by Sarah Myers on July 26, 2017

As it has been said many times; there are no words that can diminish the heartache all of you that love Brad and knew his love in return. Although we never had the pleasure of meeting Brad, from what we read, it is obvious that Brad was carrying on a long tradition of the family; thinking of others and how may I be of service, how may I help, instead of thinking of self. We are in Florida and will be unable to attend the service. Our prayers are and will be that He will embrace you all with His comforting, grief healing power to each one of you. God bless you all!!

Posted by Regina Dunn on July 25, 2017

I am heartbroken to hear of Brad's passing and embrace Kyle and his parents at this time of loss. I was one of Brad's teachers at the high school and he was a wonderful student and a kind individual. Most mornings this past year when I got to work, Brad was with his friends outside my office door. He would always greet me with a warm "Good Morning Valerie". It frequently jumpstarted me into a better mood making me feel appreciated - not all students would break from conversations with peers to welcome me and I don't think he ever missed the opportunity. I will miss his voice in the morning - Blessings upon his spirit. I offer prayers of peace for his family and friends.

May you all find peace in your memories of Brad. I am heart broken to hear of his passing. He was a wonderful young man who was courageous and had a gentle soul.

Brad was always a great friend. He always looked out for others before himself. The best times I had with Brad was in Law class this past semester. Whether we were grouping up to research a court case ,talking during spare time, debriefing a math quiz from the previous period, or cracking jokes and horribly, corny puns there was never a moment of it I didn't enjoy. I'll miss you Brad, you were the best friend I could ever ask for.
