Bradley Keith Blum was born in Portland, Ore., Jan. 27, 1966 and passed unexpectedly on Nov. 27, 2012 in Olympia, Wash.
Brad was a lifelong member of the Winlock community graduating from Winlock, class of 1984, then to Centralia College and graduated from Central Washington University. Not able to stay away from Winlock long, he was proud to join his dad, Fred at the family business. Brad married Debbie Saulnier and began his family life with Michael and Maddison.
Brad was preceded in death by his mother, Barbara, step-mother, Kay and his grandparents.
He is survived by his wife, Debbie, son, Michael, daughter, Maddison, dad, Fred (Doddie), sisters, Melisa Blum, Tree Kemper, Arlene Willson, Maureen Willson, and brother John Willson (Carolyn) and a large loving extended family.
Brad loved living in a small community. He could always be found with his every present smile, dirty hands and hickory shirt at all his kids events.
Michael, his future soldier and Maddison, his Maddie Bug, were the light and love of his life. Brad touched so many lives and will be greatly missed by all who had the fortune of knowing him.
Graveside services will be Saturday, Dec. 8, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. at Winlock Cemetery followed by a celebration of life at the Christian Fellowship of Winlock. A potluck reception will follow. Arrangements are under the care of Cattermole Funeral Home, Winlock.
