Thank you so much to everyone who came out today to honor Brad.
It meant more than I can put into words to see so many familiar faces—gathering in his memory.
A special thank you to Eric and Stacie for opening their home and creating such a warm, welcoming space for all of us. Your generosity and kindness made the day possible.
Knapptronix wasn’t just a brewery. It was a place where complete strangers became family. Brad believed in community, in connection, and in creating something bigger than himself. Today was a powerful reminder of how deeply he touched all of our lives.
I’m sorry I didn’t get the chance to personally thank each of you—truthfully, I was afraid if I started talking, I’d completely lose it. But please know that I saw you, I felt your presence, and I’m so incredibly grateful.
Seeing everyone in their Knapptronix gear and green sunglasses brought a smile to my face. Brad would have loved that—he would’ve laughed, turned the music to 100, jumped in the pool, and poured a strong beer for the group (probably something he brewed with way too many hops).
Thank you for showing up with your hearts open. Thank you for keeping his spirit alive.
