Brad Howell
Brad Howell at 18 years old, was a young man who always thought of others.
His heroes were those that served and he lived that path by serving as a Reservist with the Canadian Forces while going to school and trying to decide between training to become a paramedic, search and rescue tech, or police officer.
He knew that if anything ever happened to him, he would want to be a donor. As a family we had discussed donation. Brad had gestured to his body, and said, with that easy smile of his "Mom, it's only a rental". Three months later, while serving as a Reservist with the Princess Louise Fusiliers, he died in an accident at the Halifax Armouries. A much loved son, brother, friend and soldier; and yes, hero.
We, his family, believe that in the lives of those receipients, as they live and love, that there is a legacy. And we believe that when they laugh, there is an echo to Brad's spirit, and he is smiling.
"Blue skies, Brad"
