We are honored to come together as a community to remember and celebrate the life of Brad M. Garrow through this special fundraiser.
Brad was the definition of strength, dedication, and heart. After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Brad passed away surrounded by love on December 17. He was just 36 years old, but the impact he made in his lifetime will be felt for generations.
A proud graduate of Franklin Academy High School, Brad was a multi-sport athlete who played football, wrestled, and baseball. His love for sports never faded, if anything, it grew stronger. Known by many as a “walking encyclopedia” of sports knowledge, Brad could talk stats, plays, and history with anyone who would listen. Sundays were for football, poker with friends, and cheering on his beloved Dallas Cowboys and New York Yankees.
More than anything, Brad’s true passion was coaching and mentoring young athletes. He dedicated much of his adult life to giving back to local youth, serving as an assistant football coach and coaching baseball, girls’ softball, and helping with hockey and basketball. To Brad, coaching wasn’t just about the game; it was about teaching discipline, teamwork, and character.
This fundraiser has been created to raise funds for a memorial dedicated to Brad, which will be permanently placed on the football field, a place that represents so much of who he was and what he loved. This memorial will stand as a lasting tribute to Brad’s commitment to athletics, mentorship, and the countless lives he touched both on and off the field.
By supporting this fundraiser, you are helping preserve Brad’s legacy and ensuring that future athletes are reminded of the passion, kindness, and dedication he brought to everything he did.
Thank you for your support, generosity, and for helping us honor an incredible man who gave so much to his community.
