Bradley was a senior in high school. In a senseless act of violence, he is gone. He lived in Beloit a short time enjoying walking after dinner with his Mom, taking short cuts through allies and dancing in the street.
While his stint on this earth was short, his impact was profound. As his Brother Christopher Farabee said, "It's all been surreal witnessing the worst this world has to offer but has also been a privilege the best this world has to offer. It has been a roller coaster of emotions consoling a grieving mother, Charlotte Farabee and reconnecting with friends and family that I haven't seen in years. Almost 18 years ago, I walked into a hospital with Ryan, loaded my Mother and new baby brother while driving with a learner's permit and drove them both home. It was the most nerve racking drive of my life until the day we made the final drive with Bradley to the cemetery where we laid him to rest."
Ryan and Kristin Farabee were real confidants and shared many lessons over home cooked meals together. He will forever be in our family's hearts and minds.
We want to personally thank everyone who has reached out with calls, texts, cards and donations to help cover funeral costs. I still can't imagine my sister, Charlotte Farabee, lost her baby boy.
Christopher Farabee and Ryan Farabee lost a brother they dearly loved. My whole family lost an important member of our family, our nephew, cousin and dear friend.
