Brad Wilkins, 61, passed away Wednesday, September 17, 2025, from a sudden medical emergency. Brad was born in Homer, Alaska, January 21, 1964, to Forest and Betty Wilkins.

The family moved to Ohio in 2000, where Lois grew up. Brad took great pride in raising his girls; they were his life.
Brad is survived by his wife of 29 years, Lois; his daughters, Sarah and Rachel.
He was preceded in death by his parents and six siblings.
Per Brad's wishes, he will be cremated, and a portion of his remains will be spread at the family cabin and cemetery in Alaska. He will be forever loved and deeply missed.
