BRADLEY DEL WARE

"BRAD"

HUSBAND, FATHER, SON, BROTHER, UNCLE AND FRIEND TO SO MANY.

With deepest sorrow we announce that Bradley Del Ware "Brad" passed away from cancer on December 13, 2019 in Poway, CA at the age of 54. He fought a hell of a fight.

Brad was born on April 21, 1965 in Portland, Oregon and was raised in San Diego.  He leaves behind his wife, Dawn and their sons, Brady, 19, and Tanner, 16, his parents Judi & Gary Fluharty, Del & Kathy Ware, siblings Elke Bousson, Brandi DeMerse, Jamee Escalante, Matthew VanSkyke, Tamara Scholl, and the best dog ever, Cash.

He married Dawn, the love of his life, in 1999 and raised their two amazing boys in Poway, CA.  He made a career in the millwork industry and dedicated 25 years as a Plant Manager for Spooner's Woodworks.

Brad had a passion for music, played drums and guitar and loved RUSH.  He was a sports fanatic and a huge fan of the Padres and SAN DIEGO Chargers.  He never missed any of his son's baseball games!  Brad enjoyed desert trips, fishing, camping, beer… and cuddling with Cash.  He loved his family, a huge list of close friends, his job and work-family.
