Obituary of Brad Middleton

Brad Middleton passed away peacefully on May 15, 2018 at the age of 64. He spent the last forty years practicing law between Manitoulin and Sudbury. Although Brad was known to tell a joke, he took his profession seriously and devoted his time to helping people navigate the important moments of their life. Brad was a student of history, and was quick to share an event from the past or give you his take on a current event. He was a storyteller. When he wasn't in the office, he volunteered for the Manitoulin Snowdusters and the Conservative Party. Brad loved Triumph motorcycles, Rock n' Roll and old Country music, Volkswagens, dance class in Burpee Mills, The National Post, and a good book. He leaves behind his loving wife, Bonnie, children Logan (Emily), Meg (Matt) and Kate (Tony) and step-children Carolyn (Arran) and James. He will be missed by his grandchildren James, Thomas, Andrew, Eddy, Poppy, Kayla, Kyle, Anthony and Bailey. His siblings Bonnie (Lindsey), Jeff (Tammy), Kim (Dave), sister-in-law Sally and many nieces and nephews share in his loss. Brad was predeceased by his parents, Ron and Jean, and his brother Dwight.
