 Bradley Royer |
Brad was the beloved son of Michael and Susan Royer and cherished grandson of Louise Lucas, nephew of Linda Taylor and Jody Barth and cousin of Rick and Libby Barth, Sarah, Alec and James Dressel, and Melissa Jacobs. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Donald Lucas, Elinor Lucas, John and Margaret Royer and his uncle, Frederick DeFrancisco.
We have such a wonderful family and many dear friends both near and far, and we are so very grateful for the many caring thoughts, prayers, notes, calls and love they have extended to the three of us through these difficult years. Their support has meant everything and we will never be able to adequately show our appreciation. We would also like to thank the many medical professionals who so lovingly cared for Brad, especially Dr. Leslie Moretti and his staff and Natalie Waechtler.
In keeping with Brad’s wishes, there will be no memorial service. Donations in his memory may be made to No Strings Attached, P.O. Box 370963, Montara, CA 94037, the American Skin Association, 346 Park Avenue South, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10010 or to a charity of your choice.
Time will never fill the empty space that was created when you left us “Bradley Bear.” We were so blessed to have you and we treasured every moment we shared. You were a fine son, a loyal friend, a shy, gentle spirit and a wonderful human being. You will always be loved and sorely missed.
