Bradley Michael Ballay

April 15, 1970 - January 21, 2016

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Bradley Michael Ballay. Born on April 15, 1970, at Park Avenue Hospital in Pomona. He grew up in Alta Loma and remained in the area for all of his life. He has many community connections and it was almost impossible to go somewhere with him without running into someone he knew. Brad was 45 at the time of his death and leaves behind his wife and eternal companion Gwendolyn and his bright and beautiful daughter Tiffany as well as both parents Ron and Marnee and two brothers Bob (Dianne) and Mike(Jackie) along with many nieces and nephews. His close friendships meant a great deal to him and he leaves a void in Ryan's and Skye's lives. He will also be greatly missed by his furry four legged friends. He was active in his church and there are many in his ward who will miss him deeply. He had held a position as Elders Quorum President, Assistant secretary in the Bishopric and his most loved position was Ward Mission Leader. He owned and ran Acoustical Ceilings with his brother Bob for most of his adult life and dealt with the physical limitations and pain he had with grace and dignity. He loved a good story and always took his time in telling it well. He particularly loved camping and driving his truck at Glamis, as well as boating and riding his motorcycle. He was a big fan of nascar since he was a child. Family was always a priority for him and he would go out of his way to make you feel important in his life. His smile and sparkling blue eyes would light up a room. He will be deeply missed. Services will be held Tuesday February 9, 2016 at 11am at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 9075 Baseline Rd, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 All are welcome Masonic Funeral will take place in the cultural hall after the services. Light food will be served at that time. Following we ask that everyone gather at the Ballay's home where food and refreshments will also be available. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the LDS missionary fund. Follow the link provided and choose MISSIONARY FUND.

Charlie and I met Brad and Gwen at Russ Thompson Stables in 2012. We quickly became 'horse buddies' and shared many fears and accomplishments with our horses. We fell, and we got back up! Brad was kind enough to take pictures at the horse show for me when Gwen had to work. He sat in the bleachers and cheered me on. It meant so much to me. And when we did our show together, he was right there cheering Gwen on. He will be greatly missed. Our hearts are so heavy for you all.

We're so sorry about this devastating loss of such a beautiful man. I had the privilege of seeing many precious photos and video clips while working on his memory video. I feel like I got to know him through the process. What a huge blessing for me. Much love to Wendy, Tiffany, Ron, Marnie and the entire family. He will live on in your hearts forever.
