Brad is survived by his two sisters, Karen (Kirk) Gelleny, and Susan (John) Beers; along with his niece and nephews: Kala, Owen (Kayla), and Carson Beers.

He was predeceased by his parents, Thomas and Connie Gelleny.

While growing up in Lethbridge, Brad started working for the family business, Thomas Radiators. After graduating from Lethbridge Collegiate Institute, Brad started to move into construction work such as working with concrete, dirt works, milling and general contracting. Brad took pride in the projects he worked on, making sure every measurement was checked twice and bricks were laid with care.

Brad was interested in a variety of machines with engines! Growing up he enjoyed cruising in his vehicles, particularly his yellow Camaro Z28. He also had fun riding his bike in motocross. In more recent years, Brad used his Bobcat to shovel snow for the neighbourhood. Brad was willing to go the extra mile to help others out!

Brad enjoyed hiking in the coulees and frequented Waterton over the years. He would always be on the lookout for unique rocks. Brad liked to share random facts, jokes and sarcastic phrases, which was always followed by his memorable laughter. He was an avid collector of different types of memorabilia, to name a few: Simpsons, Marvel, and Star Trek. Brad enjoyed playing the lottery—an activity he shared with his mom, Connie, whom he cared for in the comfort of her own home until her passing.

Brad’s caring nature, entertaining stories and sense of humour will be missed.

A Come and Go Reception to celebrate Brad’s life will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2825 – 32 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, on Thursday, June 19, 2025 from 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM. Family and friends are invited to mingle with Brad’s family, share stories and enjoy a slice of apple pie!
