Brad Deanda: 10/5/70 – 12/11/16
By Averie McDaniel, “Brad Deanda” is much more than a name on a road marker to me. In case you were wondering, a road marker is a sign on the road that reminds people to drive safely, and the sign reads the name of a person whose life was lost due to theirs or someone else’s …
