Obituary for Bradley S. "Brad" Hrejsa

Brad was born May 18,1972 in Glenview, IL to Skip and Darlene (Schuldt) Hrejsa. He was the “world’s most okayest brother” to Debbie (Guy) Steinbrink, Renee (Steve) Ciepley, and Kelly (Tom) Sankovich, who preceded him in death. Brad was “the world’s funnest uncle” to all his nieces and nephews. Brad is also survived by his girlfriend Erin Staunton. He was the best pet dad to Tosh and Cersei who won’t miss him saying, “No, you’ve had enough treats.” Brad served in the Marine Corps where he honed his natural mechanical ability working on aircrafts.
