Anyone who has picked up a copy of the Summit Daily News over the last decade has seen Brad's work. When I heard he had died, I figured it was a lightning strike or fall in the Gore Range or something. What a bummer to have taken a drunken nosedive off a balcony. Tragic...

Todd, I heard about this a few days ago from my sister...she works along side this man's father. It should be noted that BA levels affect people differently. He was not acting drunk, but his BA level was over .08. Heat (leading to dehydration) magnifies the effects of alcohol. Heck, my legs feel like rubber after sitting in a hot tub for too long without drinking. I think that it is a bit too presumptuous to say that he did a "drunken nosedive." Regardless, I'm sure he (and his work) will be missed by many. Tragic indeed.

Perhaps my words were indelicate.

No hard feelings Todd. I'm not easily offended. I just figured I'd clarify the story a bit more.
