Bradley was born on July 22nd, 1992 in Tacoma, Washington. For the first few
years of Bradley's life, you couldn't pry him away from his mother. As he grew
older, he loved to play Nintendo, wrestle, play basketball, and go fishing with his
Dad. He was a pro Nintendo player before he was 2. He also loved to go for
rides on his dad's motorcycle and loved helping drive his Great Grandpa's riding
lawnmower. He also loved helping his Great Grandpa in his shop. He was a
great kid that was always respectful and kind to others, except when he bit his
cousin Ryan in the back over an Easter egg full of candy.

When Bradley was 3, we moved to California. He spent the first couple months
living with his adopted Grand Parents, Grandpa Art and Grandma Rita Cooke.
He loved Grandpa Art's house because Grandpa Art is cool and had video
games and motorcycles.

We then moved to Elk Grove where Bradley made friends quickly. Shortly after
he started school at Capital Christian Center. That's where he met his Best
Friend Jordan Modellas. Jordan and Bradley were inseparable. They were always
laughing and having a good time. He also loved going to his grandparents to go
swimming in their pool. He learned to swim and was a complete fish at 3. He
was diving and swimming around the pool. He could snorkel around and around
the pool without ever lifting his head. When Bradley was 4, he asked his teacher
Mrs. Hudson how he could accept Jesus into his heart. She prayed with him and
that was the beginning of Bradley's wonderful relationship with the Lord.
Bradley also had some new competition, his little sister was born. He was a very
special big brother. He loved his sister very much.

When Bradley was 8, we moved to Tracy, California. Bradley again made new
friends quickly, however Jordan still remained his best friend and would often
come down for a visit. Bradley had many friends in our neighborhood. He would
spend hours playing basketball and football. He also liked playing X-box. MX
Unleashed and Halo were among his favorites. Bradley loved school and was
very smart. His favorite teacher in the whole world was Mrs. Jayne.

When Bradley got his first dirt bike, his Honda XR80, you couldn't get him off
of it. We had a great time as a family riding at Carnegie. We would go there as a
family at least a few times a week. The hills at Carnegie made Bradley a very
good rider. There was nothing he would not try. He loved racing his mother. She
finally decided that she couldn't keep up after a few trips to the ER. She now
has the scars to prove it.

Bradley also loved to play baseball. He made many wonderful friends on the
team. He always had a great time playing. Bradley truly just enjoyed playing the
game and having fun. His mother was by far the loudest mom on the team. She
would continuously be yelling at him for eating sunflower seeds while on third
base. She would ask him how he could field a ball with his hand in his pocket.
But when he got a hit, you better have your ear plugs in. She would make sure
he knew how proud she was of him. Even when Bradley struck out, he would
come back to the dug out with a huge smile on his face. This is not the typical
reaction for someone who just struck out, but Bradley was not a typical kid. It's
not that he didn't care or didn't want to do well, I think he was just happy to be
playing. I think there's a lesson for all of us in there somewhere.

Bradley loved going to church and being part of the youth group. He enjoyed
learning more about the Lord and hanging out with other Christian kids.
Although he was one of the younger kids in the group, he always had something
insightful to contribute to the group. Bradley was wise in the Lord
far beyond his years as you can see from his journal.

Bradley also enjoyed fishing with his Dad and Grandpa. We spent many hours
fishing at New Malones Reservoir and stream fishing in the mountains.

Bradley's favorite thing to do however was riding dirt bikes. Bradley would
printout pictures off the internet of Ricky Carmichael and CR85's (racing bike)
while he was supposed to be doing homework on the computer. There is nothing
on this earth he loved to do more. He loved camping in the mountains and riding
the trails with his family and his extended camping family (the Ziller family). He
also loved riding and racing motocross.

Bradley was an amazing kid who always had a smile and a good word for all. He
had a true love for life that was pure. He was fun to hang out with and be
around. He was truly one of a kind. We want everyone to know Bradley and
what he represented. He was an excellent example of what we should all want to
be like. If you know Bradley you understand, if not, it is our wish that you can
get to know him through this web site and journal. He is truly missed and will
never be forgotten. The legacy he left behind will live on and we are looking
forward to spending eternity with him and the Lord. We would like to thank
everyone who had a positive influence on Bradley's life.
