We Remember

KOMMES, Bradley

—

1964- 2022

We are devastated to announce the passing of Brad Kommes on August 8, 2022. Brad passed away suddenly with his loving wife by his side.

He leaves behind his heartbroken wife Lisa and his young daughter Chelsea, and they can’t imagine a life without him. He was an amazing husband and a loving and dedicated father, and his passing has left a deep and lasting hole in our hearts.

He also leaves behind his sister Joanne Duthie; niece Sam (Landon); great nieces Alyssa & Hanna; his nephew Mitch (Jordan) and many close family members from Lisa’s family that loved him dearly.

The last 20 years he shared with Lisa were spent full of joy and laughter while spending time exploring British Columbia, camping and quadding and fishing the backcountry, and raising their beautiful daughter who was the apple of Daddy’s eye.

Brad’s life was full of adventure and excitement starting as a young man with jobs as a white-water rafting guide, dive instructor, and even some summers fighting wildfires. He also loved sailing and racing out of the Yacht Club. He had many close sailing friends and loved to join them for a beer after the races to tell tall sailing tales. He loved the outdoors and discovering new camping and hunting places. He enjoyed spending time with his hunting partners sitting around the campfire enjoying some good beer and great laughs. He was also a talented do-it-your-self and handyman who was always eager to lend a helping hand to family, friends, and neighbours.

Brad was the owner and president of Arctic Data Corp since 1991. He was very proud of the software product his company developed with his team Brad M and Jason D. Brad cared deeply about his employees and always encouraged them to maintain the family as a priority. He had many long-time clients and business associates who he considered friends.

Brad was truly bigger than life itself and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.

We will miss your wonderful smile, hearty laugh, and generous heart. We love you so much.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
