“I was proud of him for all he had accomplished with his singing and songwriting career. I was going to spend some time going back through old photos today looking for the right pictures to share of my childhood spent with my Martin cousins, and I still may.

“Brad is in heaven with his dad and all our family that had gone before him who knew and loved Jesus. I know he had an amazing homecoming surrounding by them all.
