Happy Birthday Brad!

Roddy is such a wonderful brother. He has been very helpful and there for us this past year. I think he was at the hospital every day Kevin was in! Brad is a great dad and husband and he loves and respects Candi and the kids. He is very mellow and always allows the whole neighborhood and all the cousins at their house. Kevin loves hunting with him and Wayne. He is a great example to us. Thank you Roddy for Loving my Family too. Happy 40th Birthday.
~Love ya, Cynth


Happy Birthday Roddy!! Hope you had a good one. I am so glad you are my brother. You are very talented at LOTS of things, and you have a great family. Happy Happy!

I'm grateful to have such a wonderful brother. I'm always proud to tell people in the valley that Brad is my brother (usually they are in shock). He is very handsome and has such a beautiful family. I also enjoy being around him because it seems like he is always happy and upbeat. It always amazes me how he accomplishes so many things and yet still finds time to spend with his family. Hope you had a Happy Birthday Roddy!

Brad is obviously great at everything he does! I admire his motivation to, not only get things done, but to help other people as well. Mom said the other day he was coming over to put up their Christmas lights for them. Brad also has a great sense of humor and a great laugh. He was always willing to get in on those funny home videos we made. Remember the star of our "Good Nites for Outdoorsman" commercial a few years back?

Happy Birthday Brad. We love you!

Brad is a loving dad who likes to spend time with his family. He is a good singer and quite musical even though he might not recognize it. He is a skilled craftsman who has built some cool things (including their houses). We Love you Brad

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Brad, I do remember (5 days old) that you spent your first Christmas at your Grandparent Christensen's house, 40 years ago. Our Christmas Baby, I was 44 years old at that time, still a young Chick. Grandpa Christensen said (I guess to Beverly) “Never again driving you to the Hospital to have another Baby” so Kevin was born in Las Vegas .

~ Love, Grandma Christensen



Happy Birthday, Brad!! We love you. It sure doesn't seem like 40 years since you were born. We had moved to Las Vegas after Julie was born. Dad had got on the Fire Dept. but he was still part of the National Guard in Cedar City. Because we would travel to Utah for his Guard meetings each month, I continued to go to Doctor Farnsworth in Cedar. Brad was due the end of December, so Debbie, Julie, and I went up to stay with Mom & Dad about the middle of the month and Dad came up on his 4-day off then went back to Vegas.


I had gone to the Doctor on the Friday the 19th and he said I was getting close to having the baby. The next day Grandpa Christensen was pretty nervous about making another middle-of-the-night run to the hospital like he did when Julie was born, so he had Steve drive me back to Cedar after dinner and take me to Marv & Brenda Hyers place. They ended up taking me to the hospital later that evening and Brad was born about 2 a.m. (I think) on Sunday morning, Dec 21. In those days, of course, we had no idea whether we were having a girl or a boy so you can imagine we were pretty excited about having a boy. Dad was on duty that night, so I called him early the next morning to tell him that he finally had a son.


I was in the hospital a couple of days and I remember that Grandpa Christensen came over and picked us up and took us home from the hospital, so I'm thinking Dad stayed in Vegas and worked another shift before he came up for Christmas. Brad was a wonderful Christmas present for us. We are proud of him and his accomplishments and his family and the fact that he is a great Dad. Happy 40th Birthday. Think how old you will feel when Kannon turns 40.

~Love you, Mom
