Passed away unexpectedly on July 18, 2021, at the age of 60. Survived by his adored cat Noodles. Proud and loving dad of Sarah Bennett and Kari Bennett (Fletcher Jacobi). Beloved brother of Robin (Chuck) Warriner and Linde (Loren) Wolfgram. He will also be missed by his best friend Sal Romero, many nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
Preceded in death by his parents William and Barbara Bennett.
Brad worked at AT&T Communications for over 35 years.
Brad was an avid Vikings fan. In his free time, he would often go to Saloon on Calhoun to visit with friends. Together with his best friend Sal, he loved to cookout. When Sarah and Kari were young, he’d take them to Wisconsin Dells for vacation. Brad also enjoyed going to church festivals or amusement parks. He loved learning about World War II machinery or watching horror movies. Some might not know, but he had a hidden talent of playing drums. Above all, Brad adored his two daughters and loved any time he could spend with them.
As his daughters put it, Brad would hate to have people making a “fuss” over him as he was just a simple guy. In fact, he’d probably be making a joke to lighten the mood right now.
In lieu of flowers, memorials appreciated to the family to help with funeral costs.
Visitation will be held at Krause Funeral Home, 21600 West Capitol Drive, Brookfield, Wisconsin on Saturday, August 14, 2021, from 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM. A Celebration of Life will begin at 12:00 PM. Casual dress encouraged.

Brad was my work partner at AT&T for 20 years I will dearly miss him and his stories, humor and analysis of world issues. He definitely brighten days for people around him and it was wonderful to hear how much he was loved by his daughters yesterday. RIP my dear friend Brad 💕

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time! I remember Brad's quirky sense of humor, devotion to his Noodles, amazing ability with numbers and his continued frustration with the Vikings during football season. Brian worked with Brad in Waukesha for AT&T for about 9 years. He will truly be missed!!

Sarah & Kari, there are no words that even come remotely close to right in terms of sharing the sentiment of deep condolences about your dad passing. Wrapping you both in a huge hug and sending our very best. Love you!

Because Brad was in the breakroom at 13th & Grange, he kindly stayed with me in the conference room while I admitted to my supervisor that I had an alcohol problem. After that, he would come by my desk for years and quietly ask how I was doing. I will always appreciate the generosity and love of his friendship. Because of him, I have almost 23 years of sobriety. Thank you Brad for saving my life. I will never forget you and what you have done for me.

I worked with Brad for many years at Wisconsin Bell/Ameritech/SBC/AT&T and whenever a musician would pass away we would say there goes another member into Rock N Roll Heaven. Well now It's time for John Bonham and Neil Peart to sit one out so Brad can play drums with the best. Rock N Roll All Nite my Brother

My deepest condolences to Brad's entire family. I worked with Brad in Waukesha & after that office was closed we still all kept in touch & met up. Brad always talked about Noodles & his daughters or he always had a goofy story to tell. I could always count on him to make me laugh. I will miss him dearly along with his humor!! Rest in heaven my dear friend!!

I wish Brad's family my sincere condolences. The last 2 years at AT&T I sat next to Brad and there was never a dull moment. If he wasn't telling me about what Noodles was up to, he'd be ranting about the stock market or sports. He will be missed.
