Bradley McCarthy
1980-2018
It is with profound sadness that the family
of Bradley Howard McCarthy announce his sudden passing on February 12
at the age of 38. Self-proclaimed as the « favourite child »
of his parents, Howard and Sheila McCarthy, Brad was a man
who loved to make people smile and laugh. There is no doubt
he loved life completely and lived it
intensely. Brad was fiercely protective of his family and
friends; a trait he carried to a career where he proudly
served his country as a soldier of the Canadian
Armed Forces. Kind-hearted, lovable, thoughtful, and brave
are just a few of the words to describe the man who was taken too
soon. Brad undoubtedly left a lasting
impression on those he came into contact with,
and his generosity was unmatched. « In the end,
it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your
years. »
Left to mourn his passing with fond and loving
memories are his mother Sheila, father Howard, sisters: Marsha
(Darryl), Joanne, and Glenda, grandmother: Gertrude, nieces: Brittany
(Justin) and Courtney (Joe), Rachel, nephew: Tristian, great
nephews: Brodie and Johnathan and great niece: Sierrah (who

well as numerous cousins and friends. He is predeceased by
his Nan Rose Barnes, Pop Enos Barnes, Pop Nick McCarthy, and Uncle
Gary Caines.
