Brad Wims

My faithful friend Brad Wims crossed over into the full glory of Christ this Monday. He was a fabulous friend, great husband, and wonderful father. I am thankful for all the fun memories we had together and I know that Heaven must be a wonderful place because he is there.

Some of my favorite memories with Brad and Jenny are:
-our musical concerts in the phillipines
-climbing a mountain beside Jenny and Brad
-watching him ride an elephant
-falling on the floor laughing when he put on a sarong
-learning how to play my first video game
-dinners at Pappasitos with his parents

-the skit "hit by a bus"
-Jenny highlighting my hair for the first time and Brad saying "atleast it will grow out"
-Aggie football games
-the endless poptarts
-listening to Brad sing at aggie devotionals
-All the nights they let me spend in their guest room when I was so lonely in Houston
-Watching Jenny and Brad date...watching them get married...their first child...their second child
-Seeing him courageously fight the battle of his life and love God through it all...

I will be forever thankful to Brad and Jenny for the way they have loved me over the years, their friendship has defined me in so many ways. Please pray for Jenny's strength these next few months as she figures life out without her true companion. Here are some pictures of them that I love from their website.

  1. Welcome to blogworld, Jenny. We will really enjoy being able to keep in touch with you guys this way! Thank you for this tribute to Brad's life. I didn't know him very well, but I remember his laughter. I think he was one of those older AFC'ers who really liked to make us freshmen do lots of push-ups for pulling out. ;-) Please do pass along any information you have about ways to bless Jenny and her family, whether prayer-wise, financial, or whatever. I did not know them well at A&M, but their light shines on their blog, and I know the future will be hard without Brad.
    We love you guys!
    Lisa, Dave, & Sam
