It is with great sadness that we share, Bradley Evan Christianson, 31 of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan & Vancouver, British Columbia died suddenly sometime on Wednesday June 12, 2019 while in Saskatoon. Bradley was born at Saskatoon City Hospital on February 16th, 1988. Bradley had a lot of happy days in his early years playing with siblings & friends while socializing in Daycare in Saskatoon & while in Victoria, BC. Bradley attended both Catholic and Public schools in Saskatoon’s Westmount, Holiday Park, Confederation, Pacific Heights and Fairhaven areas, Bradley also attended Jr. high and High-school while living in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Bradley enjoyed being with people, public speaking, sharing stories of all nature, humorous summaries or embellished escapades, he loved entertaining. Loving, creative, handsome and outgoing … He had a definite spark and gift-of-gab! Dear to his heart at the time of passing was the mentoring work he was able to do with Str8up Saskatoon. Brad was on a path of healing and growing into the person he was born to be. He was inspired and filled with hope the minute he saw the Canadian Rockies, ocean and beautiful lush greenery of British Columbia once again as an adult. Bradley had his share or more of obstacles in his life; being dyslexic and the family moving around a lot his education suffered. He was in the process of working toward some educational goals to attend Culinary School, highlighting baking as a goal. He was to begin a job in Vancouver, BC, starting on June 10th., that would have put him around art on a daily basis. Brad aspired to be a man of style and fashion, and to grow his collections, hobbies and career goals as he was learning to dream again. His potential was limitless unfortunately his time here with us was limited.
