Statement from Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval, Ph.D., Fresno State Dean of the College of Arts and Humanities :

I had the singular honor of meeting Brad, and he indeed was a special and kind person --dedicated to his students and art. His legacy will live on, in the countless students he touched with his love of music, and in his distinct way of interpreting human emotions and the meaning of life through his own musical compositions.
