A young man some of you may have known passed away Christmas day, after a long fight with cancer.  My condolences to both family and friends.

Brad was a great kid. He was diagnosed a few months after the 2006 VW Classic. He originally had testicular cancer and then lost a kidney. He flew out to Long Island last October and we went to see his beloved LA Kings play the Islanders... and they won. He felt great and looked good and I was trying to convince him to come back for the Litchfield show in June. In the middle of December he had a turn for the worse and his liver and remaining kidney were shutting down. A bunch of friend busted him out of the hospital and took him home. He was surrounded by friends until he passed on Christmas night.

Viewing and Services for Brad are:

Jan 2 2010, Viewing will be at 11:00am Service will be at 12:00
Dress is casual its how Brad wanted it, no suits or ties
Mountain View Mortuary
2400 Fair Oaks Ave
Altadena, CA 91001-5051

A Payapl account has been setup to help his family pay off his medical bills: Hamburgerbrad@thesamba.com

Brad, among other things, was a moderator for the Samba's Off-Road forum and his userid was HamburgerBrad . As a memorial to him the forum has been renamed "HBB Off-Road Forum

25 is way to young to be gone.

If you're interested here's his topic on the Samba. Brad "HamburgerBrad" Williams (1984-2009)

You can live a 1000 years and you'll never meet a nicer guy. he is missed.

D.B.O. Not a club; a state of mind.

How do you measure a person's life?

By the people they touch...

It really is an excellent video!

I didn´t know him or heard of him before. But I red his topic on samba.

He seemed to touch and inspire a lot of people.
...another sad story...another person who died way too young.

Positive thoughts going out to his family and friends!
