As mentioned last week we lost an OG in the industry and a friend, Brad McNamara.
I fondly remember my visits to and the fun we had at the Juicy Vapor vape events in upstate New York, and the gallons of “Tribute” I vaped over the years.
If you would like to help Brad’s family with the cost of final expenses, you can do so below.
Dearest friends and family members:
We are so moved and thankful to everyone who has joined us with offerings of sympathy and condolences as we mourn the untimely loss of our baby brother, Bradley Knoll McNamara, to a battle with COVID-19. He fought the valiant fight, but ultimately the virus was too much for his body to overcome, and we received the phone call informing us that he was pronounced dead Wednesday morning, 13, January 2021 at approximately 08:09am.
Due to a myriad of factors, most importantly the directives of the CDC as well as pertinent local, state, and federal regulations, there will not be a customary funeral for Brad, and instead the family will announce a Celebration of Life service which will take place in the coming months once it is safe to do so. This will be a time where we can all come together to remember and honor the life of our dear brother, son, father, husband, uncle, best friend, confidant, business associate, neighbor, drinking buddy, and share with each other our fondest memories of him and how he impacted our lives.
Many of you have reached out asking how you can help Brad’s family during this uncertain time. We appreciate your thoughtfulness, and we ask for your continued prayers for his family as they are still battling this Novel Corona Virus themselves. We are also asking for monetary donations to help cover the costs associated with his end-of-life expenses. Brad was always there for anyone when they were in need, so now it’s our turn to be here for his family during this time of devastation as they try to figure out where to go on from here. We have created a few simple avenues where you can easily donate what you can without leaving the safety of your own home. Feel free to visit our Facebook Fundraising page.
To our knowledge, Brad did not have a will in order, nor did he have any other provisions set up to protect his family and his business in the event such an extraordinary event should occur. To further complicate things, he and Stacy were never legally married, leaving Stacy in a very unfortunate and precarious predicament, having no legal claim to most of their mutual assets that were accumulated over the last twenty-something years, give or take. Therefore, anything you might be able to give would be more than appreciated by Stacy as she is still the provider and head of household to both Ryan and Riley, not to mention the six dogs.
Once again, we would like to thank you on behalf of Brad’s family as well as ours for all you have done during this tragedy. We cannot express how grateful we are, and we promise to keep you all in our hearts, our prayers, and our minds as we move on from this. Please keep Brad on your social media outlets as we will be sure to provide details of a Celebration of Life memorial service in the coming months, dependent on how we all come out on the other side of this pandemic.
God bless you all.
With sympathy, affection, and sincere gratitude,
Terri McNamara & Mikey McNamara
