RIP...I did not know them personally but after reading all the posts you know they where a big part of the boating community that many of us consider family....My heart is broken for all involved.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families. .RIP

Krissy, Brad helped me out an quite a few occasions. All at stressful times, getting ready for Poker runs or other events but he always kept his cool and handled the issue. He was a pleasure to be around. I am not much of a church goer but we are going this morning to pray for you guys.

very sorry to the families . I met Brad a few years ago in KW on a flight from KW to Miami . We were both flying back up to do the poker run. We shared a cab to the marina and we had breakfast in miami . Brad really knew his stuff and i'm glad I got a chance to know him. My deepest sympathy. Tom

So sorry to hear this. I took a pic of this boat on a trailer driving down the highway in grand rapids, mich. The guys must have been coming from the boyne thunder. God speed and prayers for the family and friends.

Condolences....

God bless and shine upon you!

They were indeed in the Boyne Thunder this year. Great guys and a huge loss to the sport and Skater family.

Hey Krissy, this is Matt and Robin. We are heartbroken over your loss and please know that you and your family are in our prayers. If you need anything at all, please reach out to us. We love you all!

I had the pleasure of running the Mercedes boat with Brad on several occasions . Gino & I met Brad at the shoot out several years ago .Brad came over to me when he heard that we had a problem and jumped right into the bilge offerring his help .He didn't stop until he had us running ! After that we started sending Brad motors to rebuild . Brad went on to help us with anything that we needed and always made the short deadlines ,sometimes even installing the motors in the middle of the night ,then jumping into the truck to deliver the boat to Lake havasu by the morning ,Then with no sleep ,jumping into the seat with us and running the poker run .He had the heart of GOLD ,and he never lost his kool ,calm personality .
Brad will be remembered by me as one of the most honest people that I have ever worked with in the performance boat industry to date .He never hesitated when I would call him for motor advise ,and he would always offer his advise .
The Performance boating community lost a Real Gentlemen ,He will be missed terribly .I,m glad that I had the chance spend time with Brad ,He will always be remembered .
Our deepest condolences and our prayers to the families and friends of Both Jeff & Brad . I am without words at this tragic time .
