Braden (Brad) Bartley Thomas Black
October 21, 1965 – April 22, 2017
Peacefully at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto on Saturday April 22, 2017, Brad left us much too soon to join his mother (Noreen Black – nee Wray), his father (Brian Black) and Grampy (Jack Wray). Braddie will forever be desperately missed and never forgotten by his devastated Mississauga family of Gram (Muriel Wray), Aunt Gwennie, Uncle Dennis and cousin Jonathan Nicol, and Aunt Sam (Barbara), Uncle Jim and cousins Shawna and Samantha Ashenhurst. He will also be sorely missed by his brother, Rod Black (wife Lisa, of Port Huron, Michigan) and sister, Krista Wall (husband Jim and daughter Olivia of Schomberg, Ontario). Brad was a graduate of the Humber College graphic arts and illustration program. He enjoyed a long and successful Toronto career in graphic art and design. His most rewarding and enjoyable time was the past seven years working as a team with Ardi Khorsandian and Ryan Addams at Look At Me Advertising. Many thanks to them for their genuine friendship, respect, concern and support to Brad over the years and most recently to our family. Thank you to all who have expressed their sincere condolences. A special heartfelt thanks to the Rod Abrams Funeral Home team for their professionalism and personal assistance at this very difficult time. Brad will be returned to his mother’s arms by private family interment of ashes in the Palgrave Cemetery at a later date. www.RodAbramsFuneralHome.com
