 Brad attended school in American Falls, McCall, and Cascade before graduating from Weiser High School in 1973. Shortly after graduation he began his apprenticeship and later career as an electrician with McKnight and Syme Electric.
 After many years with McKnight and Syme Electric, Brad made the move to Holy Rosary/Saint Alphonsus Hospital in Ontario. He worked there as an electrician until 2016. He loved everyone everywhere he worked. His co-workers became close friends and like family to Brad.

 Brian married Danielle Wieder Blevins in 2007 and together they had two children, Brice and Kacey Hunt. Brad’s grandchildren were very precious to him. Not a day went by without him seeing or talking to them.
