Default Brad Copping passes away

I would like to send my sincere condolences to the Copping family.

Brad was an inspiration to us all and an important member of our Rennlist Canada family. Brad will be dearly missed at our get togethers which he used to come to with his dad.

Rather than tell you more about Brad I would urge you to watch this video. it is Brad in a nutshell.

RIP Brad , you will be missed.

Very sad, cleanme or Brad was a very intelligent guy as well. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Someone on fb send a msg to Brad a few days ago to check in. This was his response:

I'll reply back tomorrow, just letting you know I'm still alive! It has been a rough winter unfortunately. Double pneumonia twice and currently experiencing some more symptoms
��
It's hard catching a break, I'll write tomorrow!

I don't believe so but I'll look, maybe Eshel would.

I learned about his passing on FB. Very sad indeed. Brad and his dad Burt are two of the nicest people I've met at our GTG's. Heartbroken over the news. My deepest condolences to the Copping family. Godspeed Brad.

Very sad news indeed. I had no inkling that his illness was progressive. Very nice chap as is his father. RIP and sincere condolences to his family.

Quadriplegics can suffer from other complications, from a fb msg. It looks like pneumonia may have caused issues. I believe last winter he went through the same thing, he almost died when his lungs filled up with fluid.
