One more for the books…

Not one life in this photo without a significant impact by Brad Conners, just a small sampling of his vast world of friends and family. I will forever be grateful for the love shared far and wide yesterday. It was one hell of a Brad Conners day, and the first of many, if I have anything to say about it.

I didn’t have the honor to know Brad. However, I work closely with his Brother, Jimi. And the way Jimi talks about him I feel like Brad and I could have been best friends. Vinyl records, being a huge Fan of Music, spending time with Family, making memories with friends and always embracing life… the Best Things! Happy to Toast to you, Brad. Cheers!!!

I did not get a chance to work closely with Brad, but the time I did I noted how enthusiastic he was about LE. He also had that well noted sense of humor which is needed to be a great cop. And let’s not forget his laugh/chuckle.
May you Rest in Peace.
Attached is my favorite lighted camp lantern from a recent trip to Lassen National Park, to honor another great man lost.
Take care.

So we had a whiskey and bbq get together at my house with a bunch of realtor friends in the Albany area and brad showed up with this bottle of white whiskey from your trip to Tennessee and it was amazing. Doug Burtons wife was a saint and drove them all home. From what I hear I wish I woulda been a fly on the fall for that ride. I kept the bottle for some reason and now I know why. This will forever be on my bar. Miss you my friend! You were and always will be the best!!! Mike

We were out at the river today, and reminiscing. Here’s to you Brad ❤️
Love Aunt Mimi, Jason and Julie

I met Brad through a club organized by a mutual friend. We met with a bunch of people to listen to records over drinks. I’ll never forget how hard he made me laugh the first night I met him. We continued to meet up for music and drinks once a month for the last couple of years. He never stopped being hilarious. He and Jen were so generous and kind to my family. Brad had a way of making you feel important and special no matter who you are. I’ve never met and will probably never meet someone so… Brad.

Brad has been one of my closest friends since high school. Still dealing with the shock of this and not sure I’ll ever get over it. I miss my friend, confidant, advisor, entertainer, and travel companion. The trips our families took together along with our guy trips with Dave and Jeremy will alway make me smile. I miss you my friend. Rest easy and we’ll take it from here.

I first met Brad when I interviewed him for a position with the Albany Police Department. It goes without saying that he wowed all of us on the interview panel. No matter what Brad became involved in he excelled at. He was also an individual who was always positive and no matter what life threw at him he would (pardon the cliche) make lemonade. He was someone I could talk to no matter what and know he was give in me good advice. I will miss that. However, the best part was his undying love he had for his family and placing them first no matter what. That can be a rarity in his career, but he had “IT” figured out. Tonight I will drink the last of the EH Taylor I won at last years work Holiday Party that Brad donated. Eerily I had one drink left tonight when I pulled it out of the cupboard.

Here is to you Brad, my friend and brother in blue!

Lots and lots of stories….❤️. Thank you to Brad and Jen for rewarding our friends with a Margarita machine.
