My College Roommate Murdered...R.I.P. Brad Gerrard

Today I learned some very sad and disturbing news. My Freshman year college Room mate, Brad Gerrard, who was working as a corrections officer was murdered in cold blood last night in Buckeye, Arizona.





My thoughts and prayers go out to Brad's wife, children and extended family. He leaves behind his pregnant wife and one child.

Thank you for your tribute. He's my ex brother in law. Its hard hearing that he's gone, and he'll be missed. My kids miss their uncle Brad very much. He was a great man. My kids had so much fun with him, and were looking forward to their next visit with him.

My heart goes out to his wife and children. I heard about the baby and the murder in the same conversation. I felt so bittersweet.
