Brad was very active in his community serving on the Boards of The Food Bank of Lincoln, The Lincoln Food Bank Foundation, The American Red Cross as well as many boards at First Plymouth Church. Brad also was sound engineer for the First Plymouth 10:30 Sunday service for many, many years.
Brad and Beth loved to travel and were fortunate to visit many places along with various family members and friends. His family was his main joy. He and Beth tried to spend as much time with them as they could, proudly watching them on their journeys. Brad will be remembered for his sense of humor, his inclusivity, and great interest in people. There wasn’t anyone he wouldn’t talk to.
Brad is survived by his wife, Beth Hartman; children Emily Hartman (fiancé, Stefan Whiting) of Gunnison, CO, and Chase Hartman (wife, Amanda) of Chesapeake, VA; grandchild Ada Hartman; father Robert Hartman of Roseville, MN; siblings Barbara Hartman of Minneapolis, MN, Brenda Hartman of Roseville, MN, and Bryan Hartman of Bloomington, MN; many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles.
Preceded in death by his mother and parents-in-law, Wendell and Jane Cornelius.
