WARREN -- Bradley K. "Brad" Gibson, 55, passed away unexpectedly Monday, July 20, 2026, at the Gibson Family cottage in Mattawa, Ontario, Canada.
Brad was born Dec. 27, 1970, in Warren, to the late Curtis L. Gibson and Mary D. Gibson.
He was a graduate of Howland High School and continued his education, receiving a bachelor's degree from the University of Dayton. Brad was truly a larger-than-life person, always making a big impression. A man of generous spirit, he was quick to help neighbors and friends at a moment's notice. When away from Ohio, he loved to spend time between the Ontario cottage and Virginia with his close family and friends. When home, he enjoyed spending his time laughing and telling stories with his good friends. He was an avid outdoorsman, traveling widely to hunt and fish. One of the major goals Brad set later in life was to complete the 41 Waterfowl Slam, which he was able to finish just a few months before his passing with the help of many of his friends over the years. Brad was a longtime coach who enjoyed helping the many kids he crossed paths with during his tenure involved in Howland wrestling and other sports. But above all, Brad's favorite thing was being a father to his two sons.
Brad will be missed by his two sons, Brayden and Gage; and his brother, Tyler (Dana).
Friends and family may visit from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026, at Carl W. Hall Funeral Home, 533 North Park Ave., Warren, OH 44481.
