| Comments: | I first met Brad back in 1987. We were stationed at RedStone Aresenal, AL. We became good friends right from the start. We were big Seattle Seahawks fans. We had lots of fun just hanging around, going to the gym, movies and to chruch. In a very short time, Brad became my best friend/brother and I will never forget him. My prayers go out to his family,Cyndi and the kids. May the Lord be with you always.
Your friend alway,
Erik |

| Comments: | I have known Brad since he moved to Wardner, Idaho (I think we were freshmen in high school at that time). I knew then that he was a great guy and was going to do wonderful things later in life and he most certainly did. He is truly missed.

| Comments: | I am Brad's first cousin. My mother was Brad's mothers only sister. Brad was six months older than me and so we shared many memories of family gatherings and functions together. We grew up knowing each other pretty good in our younger years. In our adult years, Brad was busy with his military career and raising his family. I'm glad that I got to spend time with him at his parents 50th anniversary, because it was our last visit. I will always have him in my heart and memories. Jo Sokolowski |

| Comments: | Brad was my Team Sergeant on SFODA 054 10th SFG at Ft. Carson.
We were a young team and Brad always took personal interest in every team member’s development and success both at work and at home with our families. He strived to ensure we would be ready for what we would all inevitably face. Through his example and tough realistic training, Brad built 054 into a tight and cohesive team while always leading from the front. I will always remember Brad as a fine NCO, mentor and close friend. He is a true professional.

| Comments: | I first met SGM Conner while inprocessing into Fort Lewis. We were both arriving at the same time and I didn't realize that he was going to be my Company Sergeant Major. I feel extremely lucky to have served with him. We worked out of the same small camp in Iraq and I was fortunate enough to have someone of his caliber and experience to turn to for advice. My detachment conducted a very successful operation on the day before he was killed and he was the first person I saw upon returning to our camp. He looked at me and told me that we had done a great job. That couldn't have meant more to me coming from anyone else. His loss was deeply felt by everyone on my detachment and I hope that we were able to do right by him in the months that followed. We'll miss him. |

| Comments: | I was a classmate with Brad at the Special Forces Medical Sergeants Course in San Antonio, TX. From there we became members of the 10th SFG(A) assigned to Ft. Devens and Ft. Carson. Brad was alway head of the class and his peers, always leaning forward in the foxhole. I respected his devotion to duty, our country and his family. His fast progression thru the ranks was proven by his dedication to being one of the best. My last conversation with Brad was while he was one of our 1st SGT's at Fort Carson. We were at the Group HQ's and his first question to me was "Aaron it's been a long time, how's your family doing?". We talked about deployment tempo, training, future assignments and living in Colorado Springs. Brad was a stand up guy, awesome soldier and highly liked as a Senior NCO. He is always missed by everyone who had association with him and WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. BRAD, DE OPPRESO LIBER, see you on the other side my brother.

| Comments: | Brad was my cousin. My memories of him are as a little boy. When I close my eyes, I see him running as fast as he can. He was determined to keep up and never let his leg braces hold him back. Our family paths divided a long time ago, so I never had the opportunity to know him as an adult. Brad touched many lives and we are all richer for it. |

| Comments: | I think I first got to know Brad when we were both on the Kellogg Rams Junior Football team. I might add we were undefeated that year. Brad always had a way to make your day.
My fondest memory of Brad was on a trip back from Bonners Ferry after a great basketball exhibition by himself and Darin. I remember how he would lead the guys in rallys and had the highest with regards to team and school spirit. This memory lives within me on a daily basis. Brad once did a skit in Junior High, he dressed up like a cheerleader, I remember it well. Just the thought makes me smile.
Brad, I know your up in heaven looking down on us. Thank you for being such a good person and my friend.

| Comments: | My dad used to tell me "follow a well behaved kid home and you will find a loving family". No family has proven that more true than Brad's. Brad's life and death will always have an effect on my life and the way I react to many situations. And I've seen enough of Brad's kids to know the same is true there. My prayers are with each of you. |
