McNeill, Bradley “Brad” David Ernest
July 17, 1970 - February 19, 2022
Bradley “Brad” was born on July 17, 1970 in Minto New Brunswick. Sadly, he was suddenly taken away from us too soon on Saturday, February 19, 2022 in Calgary Alberta, at the age of 51.
Brad will always be remembered for his caring, compassionate heart; always looking out for others. As Sarah said, “Brad had the biggest heart, the most love for anyone dear to him”. Annika says “My Dad had the biggest heart in the world. He was thoughtful, considerate and kind. He will be missed by everyone who loved him”.
He had a love of nature, and animals; especially his pet cats. He found joy in the outdoors, the sky and the universe as a whole.
He was always an intellectual thinker from a young age. He loved the challenge of learning and exploring, especially technology and science. He had a passion for science fiction which he found enjoyment through reading, movies and gaming. He was a creative, imaginative thinker.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Sarah Vessey; children, Annika, and Kevin (Stephanie); grandsons, Bryson and Jasper; mother, Gloria Sanderson; brothers, Ron (Georgie), Chris, and Nathan; sisters, Morgan, Devon and Sarah; many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his father, Vernon McNeill; and his step-father, Bob Sanderson.
A Celebration of Brad’s Life will be held at:
Royal Canadian Legion - Bowness Branch #238
138 Bowness Center NW, Calgary, Alberta

I pray you are at perfect peace dear Cousin. My love and prayers to all family members.
Our hearts are with you today. We love you so much.
My sincerest condolences to Brad's immediate and extended family.
Brad you were a very long and great friend. Someone who I can always count on when needed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during these trying times......RIP BUDDY.....❤❤❤
So very sorry to the McNeil family for their loss I’ve known them all my life grew up in Minto there home town as well went to school with his dad his mom lived close by new her as well. John and I are saddened by this. May God give you all the strength to get through.
You were missed the moment you left, this was way to soon and you will be missed by your entire family - until we meet again. Your cousins ; Steve , Jolene & Carter
Dear Gloria, We were so sorry to hear of Brad's death. Keeping you and your entire family in our thoughts and prayers. Jan and Arnie
I am at a loss for words. So much pain and heartache in such a short amount of time. So sorry for your loss Gloria and Ron and Family. If there is anything I can do, let me know.
I hope everyone takes comfort in knowing Bradley is a Christian and he believed there was much more to the world we live in. He was very interested in learning more about the possibilities of what is out there and what is to come in our next journey after this life. I know Bradley loved his Daughter very much and he had goals for their future. He loved Sarah very much as well and was trying to get closer to the life they dreamed of full of love and peace . I believe Brad will watch over his family from above and I know he would have never wanted them to feel the heartache they feel right now. I am sure he would want his Mom to be assured that everything will be ok and that he loves her and appreciates all she has done for him and for his Annika. We all have our faults and trials in life and one thing that stands out with Brad is I never knew him to be judgemental regardless of a situation. He stood his ground for what he believed in and he continued to try to get in a better place in life for him and for his family. Brad will be missed, but I hope his family will be comforted knowing he will watch over them and they will see him again. We all will see him again when the time has come! YWHW please bless us all, please allow everyone especially his Daughter to find peace in knowing Bradley is in a better place. Please let comfort blanket our family in this loss and know that you have a plan for each and everyone of us, in Yeshua's name we pray. Amen
Although I didn’t know Brad I feel like I did. I knew his father from his teenage years and he felt more like a brother than a friend. I am so sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss Gloria. Hugs my friend

They were spot on but we would like to add and agree Brad was very intelligent, insightful and very conscious of the feelings and needs of his friends and family. He was Special in his own way.
