It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Bradley Curtis at the age of 35 years after a brief struggle with cancer. Predeceased by his older brother Adam, his grandparents Lugora and Gordon Ash and Monica and Arthur Cheeseman.
Leaving to mourn his parents, Janice and Art Cheeseman, numerous Aunts and Uncles, cousins and a large circle of close friends and coworkers.
Brad will be remembered for his drive and determination to excel and succeed. His strong commitment, loyalty and allegiance to his friends and coworkers. He had tremendous resolve to support and foster the young individuals with whom he worked. He was known for his unending generosity, selflessness and genuine concern for others. His sense of humor, ability to make people laugh, storytelling and practical jokes was well recognized by all who knew him. His deep caring nature provided the basis for his ability to connect and support people. One of his greatest attributes was his ability to reach out and bring people together. His work etiquette was beyond reproach.
Special thanks to all his friends and Waypoints coworkers who provided tremendous support to him over the last six months. To family members, neighbours and family friends who made this difficult time a little easier. A special thank you to his family doctor, Dr. Matthew Ryan, the staff at the H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre, and his Pallative Care team especially Derrick Tucker, R.N. Acknowledgement of his friend Gail Carroll for her professional mentoring and a heartful thanks to Florence Strang and Tamar Kelly of Mindful Matters who made Brad’s wish of becoming a full time Counsellor a reality.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a private funeral service for immediate family will be held on Friday, March 5, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. from the Carnell Memorial Chapel with interment to follow at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. The funeral service will be live streamed for those who cannot attend.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Bradley’s memory may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
Dear Art and Janice, sending you strength and support in the passing of a wonderful human, your son Brad. I take faith in the belief that you get two lives on earth – the first referring to your physical life in which you lead amongst your family and friends,; and the second life referring to the one lived in the memories and stories that family and friends, who choose to keep you close.
From reading all of the beautiful memories and stories of kindness that Bradley left in our hearts, I can say with certainty that his second life will be never ending.
God bless you both. Rest In Peace, Brad.
Art and family, I’m so very sorry to hear about the passing of your son. Sending prayers and comfort to you all.
Our sincere condolences from Faculty and Staff, Faculty of Education, Memorial University
Our sincerely condolences to Brad’s family.
Mr. and Mrs. Cheeseman,
I’m so sorry to hear about Brad’s passing. He was a friend of my son Mark. They met when they did the Occupational Health and Safety Program at CONA about 4 or 5 years ago. I also had the opportunity of meeting Brad that Christmas when Mark had a few friends from his class down to our house for dinner. Brad was so nice and showed up with dessert and a nice bottle of wine. Mark thought the world of him and kept in touch with Brad after they finished the program and Mark returned to the States.
It was a very sad day when Mark called me to tell me of Brads diagnosis. He was devastated. I remember him saying to me Mom, you must know some good doctor who can help him Because I was a nurse Mark thought that I could move mountains and get someone ” fixed up” as he called it He could not believe that getting Brad cured was not an option I remember saying to him that there are times when people cannot be cured and that Brad had the best doctors and the best care possible. Mark kept in touch with Brad as much as he could and would call him to talk about the good times they had in OHS at CONA.
Please accept my deepest sympathy. I also have two sons and I can not imagine how I would survive it if I lost one, let alone two. Please accept my deepest sympathy. When this virus passes and things are back to normal I would like to drop by sometime and meet you

Janice and Art, I am so very sorry to see this. My mist heartfelt condolences to you and your family at this mist difficult time. Wanda Lundrigan
Mr & Mrs Cheeseman, family & friends:
I am devastated by the news of Brad’s passing. His sudden passing gives me cause to pause & reconsider how I live my own life.
It’s been years since I’ve seen Brad, we became friends in junior high through mutual friends. It didn’t matter how you came into Brad’s life, he made space for everybody! He was always very compassionate, generous & welcoming. Hearing that Brad went on to work with youth & counselling gives me immense joy; even from our younger years, I can see why this field would be such a perfect fit for Brad. It’s easy to see that he made a profound impact on so many young people, as he did us, his friends.
May you find peace during this challenging time, knowing that even in such a short life, Brad had a beautiful life well lived. He will always be remembered. Brad and Adam are reunited again, watching over us.
Art, so sorry to learn of Bradley’s passing.. Keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Mr. and .rs. Cheeseman
My thoughts and prayers are with you guys as you grieve the loss of Brad. I was a coworker of his at Waypoints. He was an honest friend, always willing to lend a hand, and smiling or joking while doing so. His personality was definitely infectious and his smiles would change the mood in any room. He will be greatly missed and remembered always.
Rhonda Newman
Mr. & Mrs. Cheeseman,
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I was heartbroken to hear of Brad‘s passing this week. It’s been quite a few years, but Brad & I used to be really close in our 20s and he was such an amazing friend to me. I can’t tell you how many times he was there for me, would give me a ride when I needed one, and looked out for me. If I needed anything, day or night, I knew I could count on Brad. He was so good to everyone he knew. He introduced me to his amazing circle of friends and I have so many happy memories of get-togethers, parties, hangouts, driving around, and barbecuing at the cabin. Brad was always up for anything. He was sweet, funny, caring, and one of a kind. One of my favorite memories was when he brought me flowers on Christmas Day years ago, such a gentleman! Brad’s friendship really meant a lot to me. Please know that I am thinking of you in this difficult time and sending my most heartfelt condolences to your family.
Take care,
Jennifer Smith (Fitzgerald)
Mr. & Mrs. Cheeseman,
Ever since the moment I first met Brad in the very first class we had with our Master’s cohort I knew we were going to be great friends. In the short time I have known Brad he became one of my closest pals – which says a lot about him as I am usually difficult to get to know quickly, but with Brad it was like my walls were never even there. He had the ability to make you feel like you were special to him, like you were listened to, and like you mattered. He was our group of friends’ sunshine, even on the darkest of days. For this I thank you, for raising such an incredible son. This loss is unimaginable, and our worlds are forever changed, but I will always carry with me the impact he has had on me both personally and professionally. I wish you all the comfort possible in this incredibly painful time.
Uncle Art and Aunt Janice,
I was so disheartened to hear of Brad’s diagnosis and now passing. I will always remember Brad smiling and cracking a joke. I will forever cherish our memories of spending time together in the country. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this devastating time. Please hold each other close and know that Brad’s legacy will live on through the wonderful work he accomplished in counselling todays youth during his too short life.
Sending my deepest condolences,
Janice and Art,
I know there are no words that describe the pain you must be feeling today. The next while will be the most difficult in life. Try to take comfort from your friends and family and know we are thinking about you. Treasure the memories how Bradley helped so many others, how he smiled and how his kindness towards others is a theme going through all the messages of condolences.
There is nothing stronger than a parent’s love for their child. I wish you all the strength and courage
you will need to move forward. Thinking of you, from the bottom of my heart. Hugs.
Art & Janice
I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. Reading the tributes here, I know that a part of him will live on through every life he touched and that is a testament to the love and support you gave to him. Words cannot help right now, but know that you are being held close in the hearts of so many right now.
Janice and Art, My thoughts and prayers are with you both. What a beautiful service today for Bradley. He has touched so many lives with his work and generosity. It’s such a tribute to how well you raised him. He will always be with you. Love never dies. He will always be in your heart as will Adam. God bless you both. The next while will be difficult but I pray you find comfort in all of us who love you and who’s hearts are breaking for you. Take care.
Art and Janice,
Our condolences on the passing of your son, Bradley. Thinking of you at this sad time.
Art….so sorry to hear of the passing of your son, Bradley. Please accept my condolences to you and your wife and know that you both are in my thoughts.
Mr. and Mrs. Cheeseman,
I am so sorry for the loss of Brad. I met brad while in MUN over 10 years ago, I don’t recall exactly how we met but that doesn’t matter because it was like we had known each other for years and we became fast friends and study buddies (he would laugh if he heard me say that because while he studied and I would read magazines) I was so thankful for his friendship during those years. He was always there for me when I needed a ride, a study partner or just someone to Hang and laugh with. I always loved running into him in later years because it was like we never missed a beat. He had that ability with everyone he met, to make you feel so special and like no time passed.
He will forever be loved and missed.
Sending you my deepest condolences and love.
That was a beautiful service. Thank you for sharing this with us so that we could be there with you. Brad and I met while working a university summer job. Brad was always someone that you could trust and confide in. He was an exceptional person and I’m a better person by having known him. I went with Brad to his Dad’s retirement dinner and could see why he turned out to be such a great person with two supportive and loving parents. Brad “pretty-women’d” me during this dinner by showing me how to use a cloth napkin properly and which forks to use when. Mark met Brad that same summer and recalls him walking down the aisle, previous to me introducing them, and thinking he looked like an intimidating “house” of a man. Brad thought the same of Mark and a bromance quickly formed. We both have nothing but great memories of Cheeseman. We are sending so much love and our deepest condolences to Janice and Art and to all of Brad’s friends and family.
Mr. & Mrs. Cheeseman, family and friends,
I have really struggled with what to say to you all as truthfully, I have no words to accurately express how I feel at this time. Disbelief, immense sadness and a profound loss are the ones that come to my mind most quickly. However, I can also tell you that I feel truly grateful and blessed to have had the opportunity to work with and get to know Brad through Mindful Matters, even if for only for a brief period in his/my life.
He was gentle, kind, empathetic, intelligent, insightful, professional and very humorous. We came to really care about, respect and admire one another. I am eternally grateful for our time spent together and I will always hold him closely in my heart.
I send my deepest condolences to you all and I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers today and in all the days ahead.
Much love to you all,
Tamar Kelly
Janice and Art our condolences on the loss of Bradley. We just “attended” the beautiful memorial service at Carnell’s. and wanted you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. God bless you both now and in the difficult time ahead. You must be so very proud of this wonderful young man who obviously was special to so many people. Love to you both Joan and Dave Best
Janice and Art,
I have not stopped thinking of you both since I heard the news of Brad’s passing. Through all of the years that have passed since being in University, Brad made sure to make time to see me anytime I made it back home, even it was at 3am for some food at The Celtic Hearth. The impact Brad had on everyone that was lucky enough to know him, will never be forgotten. I will miss his witty personality, and his huge, huge heart. I hope you are able to find peace in your days ahead, and am sending love to you both.
Brad has left such a large imprint on so many people and communities. Rest easy my friend. You have left a legacy. ❤️
My condolences to you both, Brad was a wonderful, kind man who had an impact on every young persons life. He will not be forgotten and his legacy will live on.
I met Brad through a mutual Friend many years ago and i was immediately taken by how nice and genuine Brad struck me. Anytime we would cross paths Brad would always make it a point to talk to me and ask how im doing (as he genuinely cared to know) – his character was incomparable. and i wont forget that about him. My deepest condolences to Brads Family and loved ones through this difficult time.
Art and Janice,
Condolences on your loss. May your precious memories help you through this difficult time. As I read through the tributes, it is quite evident that Bradley was a wonderful. well liked person. A tribute to you both. Hugs
Janice and Art,
We are so, SO sorry for your loss. Our hearts go out to you both during this unfathomably tough time. No doubt he has found peace from the struggle that surrounded this terrible disease. I hope we can see you both some day soon so we can offer up some proper hugs and comfort.
Much love to you both.
Brad was an amazing person, one who i feel priviledged to have known. I worked with Brad at Waypoints and i learned alot from the way he carried himself and the way he worked with our youth. His sense of humor was golden. He would always bring a smile to my face. Thank you for raising such a kind, caring man. He will be missed. So sorry for your loss.
Sending heart felt condolences to the Cheeseman family.
Mr. & Mr.s Cheeseman I would like to express my sincere condolences to you as you lay your son to his final resting place today. I’ve worked with Brad for several years in the same program and I have to say every shift was a great one working side by side with Brad. His passion for helping people certainly shined through his everyday work ethic and how he interacted with our vulnerable youth. As well as the impact he made on all the staff will be carried forward for years to come. Brad left a wonderful impression on anyone whomever had the privilege of meeting him. May you RIP Brad, you will be missed. And may God give you both the strength and courage to move forward with peace knowing Brad is at peace now and not suffering in pain and agony anymore. Fly high with the Angels Brad! Keep smiling that wonderful gentle smile! xo
When you grow older you start to realize that family is not just blood related. There comes a certain stage of friendship that your friends become your family as well, and Brad was my brother, as he was to a very significantly large group of other friends, Brad has a big family 🙂
He was loyal, kind, competitive, wise cracking, hilarious, perseverant, game for anything, compassionate, inquisitive, full of depth, and a lot of drive.
That all was embedded in him from two obviously wonderful parents. Mr. and Mrs. Cheeseman it clear that Brad was the man he was because of the love, care, and guidance you gave. He went into the world and impacted so many lives in so many positive ways because of what you instilled in him, thank you.
We love our brother, we are blessed to have known him, laughed with him, worked with him, cried with him, carried on with him, and simply just walked through life with him.
Today we celebrate him and say see you later.
Sending lots of love and prayers to everyone today and going forward,
Cortez
Janice & Art,
There are no words to describe the hurt & pain you are going through.
Deepest & sincere condolences to you & Families
Forever remembered ????
To the Cheeseman family,
Words cannot describe the grief that is shared among Brad’s large circle of friends and family. We hope that in this unbearable time you find solance in knowing that Brad was one of the best humans many of us have ever known and ever will know. He lit up any room he entered immediately. We will think of him often and always.
With love.
Art and Janice, the loss of Brad is enormous and far reaching. The outpouring of messages about his life and the impact he had on those who knew him is absolutely stunning. In Brad’s time on this ever changing and sometimes scary world, he was a person who brought comfort and clarity to those lucky enough to know him. This is something we experienced first hand time and time again. Brad made this a better world because he made those around him better. We loved him and we will always remember him. Art and Janice, Brad was who he was because of you. His beautiful soul came from you and the rest of us will always be thankful for having had him in our lives. I am so sorry for your loss. We will always be here for you. Love.
Janice and Art, it is with tremendous sadness that I offer my deepest condolences to you today. My heart breaks for you and all I can offer is my promise to pray for you in the coming days. He will be reunited with his beautiful brother, Adam in their heavenly home.

The news of Brad’s passing broke the hearts of so many people. Brad was one of the most genuine, caring, helpful and beautiful people that I have had the pleasure to call a friend.
Mr. and Mrs. Cheeseman, you may never truly know the impact that your sons life has had on his community. He worked, both professionally and personally, to make the lives of those around him better. The love that you gave to Brad encouraged him to impact others through love and personal relationship.
Brad is loved by so many and his mark on his community cannot be measured; just as your caring encouraged him to make a difference in people’s lives, he has done the same for us.
He will be missed and he will be remembered.
Love and Prayers

Art and Janice,
I am so very sorry to hear of Brad’s passing. I first met Brad when we completed the Safety program together in 2014. My first impression of Brad was an old soul who was young at heart. I have so many good memories of Brad, from all the laughing we did during our late night study groups to our class BBQs, and nights out downtown, I’ll cherish them all. I’m so glad he accomplished his dream of becoming a counsellor, so fitting for someone whose compassion and care touched everyone he met. I’ll always remember Brad as one of the most kindness people I’ve ever met, so full of life and so driven. Until we meet again, Rest Easy Cheese!
Janice and Art. I am so terribly sorry and heartbroken to hear about Bradley. Sending you our deepest condolences, and will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. May God forever watch over you ????❤️

We offer you our condolences during this difficult time and we hope you will find some comfort from all the wonderful memories you have of Bradley, and the positive impact he has had on so many people.
It has been a privilege to watch Bradley grow from such a sweet little boy to a fine, caring and compassionate young man.
So many of the happy childhood memories we have include the boys playing in the neighborhood. They are so fortunate to have had such lifelong friendships.
Janet and Mike Doyle
Mr. and Mrs. Cheeseman,
My Deepest condolences to you both.
I had the privilege of working alongside Brad at Waypoints for the past 10 years. Brad quickly became a great friend that was more like family. He had so much to offer the youth in residential care and always had that welcoming contagious smile. Brad would frequently challenge me and help me continue to grow professionally and personally. He was the best listener and gave incredible advice. (then would joking tell me the price tag for sitting in his chair.) I’ll be forever grateful for his friendship, his kindness and compassion.
Art and Janie,
My sincere condolences to you on Bradley’s passing. Thinking of you during this time.

Mr and Mrs. Cheeseman,
My heart is very heavy for you both.. I am Justin Tobin’s mom and there truly are no words to help comfort you. Brad aka Cheeseman as Justin called him was always a great pleasure to be around, coming over to our home and spending so much quality time with my son when he was battling cancer.. One particular memory I have of Brad was at the HSC sitting on the couch by the elevators with all their friends and he invited me to sit next to him and provided me so much comfort with his kind words and genuineness. When he graduated with his Masters I was so proud of his accomplishment and he told me that Justin encouraged him to go back to school. That was Brad always so compassionate. He was a true friend to my Jus to the end., which I will never forget.
I know Brad and Justin are reunited again as in Brads’s own words “ A premature Goodbye. Rest Easy my friend.” .God Bless you both.
Art and Janice. We are so sad to hear the news of Bradley’s passing. Please know that we are thinking of you at this time and accept our sincere condolences.

One of the kindest, funniest, and most genuine people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. I’ll remember him for always keeping us captivated with his hilarious stories and his “Pepsi-left-out-overnight-on-the windowsill” accent. Deepest condolences to his family.
Brad was an outstanding guy – I know how much he meant to all his amazing friends and family. It has been a while since I last saw him but always remember his happiness to see me and his superb sense of humour. Thinking of you all at this time – I know he will be dearly missed.

Brad was such a wonderful guy! I will miss him a lot. I met him in my first year at MUN when we would hang out on the 3rd floor of the library. He was kind, funny, and incredibly supportive. Just a great friend. I hadn’t seen him very much over the past few years, but I always enjoyed it when we could meet up. My sincere condolences to his family and his crew of friends.

I first met Brad at CONA almost 7 years ago when I moved to St John’s for school from the mainland. He quickly became a very dear friend and will never forget the times spent together. He is one of the best people I know and the last person in the world who deserved something like this happening to him. RIP Brad. Love ya buddy.

It is with great sadness that we hear this news. Brad was one of the boys from the Crescent who were so much a part of our extended families. The great friendships they started those days playing hockey on the street grew to be so strong as they all grew up together. Our thoughts are with Art and Janice and all of the other family and friends at this time.
I met Brad during his work term for his Health & Safety program. We worked closely together & he was dedicated in every thing he did. He made a big impact on us all the few months he worked with us. He is an unforgettable person. Family & friends, I hope you find comfort in all of us that celebrate Brad’s life.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and all the SJIAA community we pass along to Art and Janice our deepest sympathies on the passing of Bradley and you will be in our hearts and prayers during this difficult time .
Janice, while it has been years since I’ve seen you, you have been in my thoughts constantly over the past few days, since I learned of your son’s passing. I never had the pleasure of meeting Brad but I heard a lot of great things about him and reading all the beautiful tributes makes me wish I had known him. My heart goes out to you and Art. You are in my prayers.
So sorry for your loss. I knew Brad through work; he was a wonderful CYC and great person. Always committed to bettering himself and helping eveyone around him. At a time such as this, there is so little we can do. I hope there is some small comfort in knowing how well respected and loved that he was by all.
I share deeply in your profound grief, after all he was like family to us as well. Brad touched my life in a positive way as well as the lives of many others. I am so glad to see that Brad found his way in life in such a meaningful and rewarding way, and that he reached such a high level of education. I remember speaking with you both about Brad and I have nothing but fond memories of him and I will always remember him. Once again, I share deeply in your sorrow and grief at this difficult time. Thanks Brad, for touching my life!
My heartfelt condolences to Brad’s family, friends and his Waypoints family on his untimely passing. This young man definitely made a difference . I loved working with Brad in my role as a social worker attached to Waypoints. He was creative, caring, funny and such a team player. He was so proud of his educational accomplishments and his subsequent private practice. Brad touched many lives and made a positive impact particularly with youth. His legacy will prevail in all that he accomplished and his unconditional caring..
Bernadette Duke
I am deeply saddened to hear about Brad’s passing. I taught Brad in Grade 8 at St. Paul’s, my last year of teaching and never forgot his quite smile! He was a lovely student and I am so proud to learn of his academic accomplishments and his dedication and compassion to helping others through counselling. Impressive young man taken to soon indeed. I believe God has a better plan for you Brad, right by His side. God Bless you!
So sad to hear the news Art and Jan of the passing of Brad. Thoughts and prayers are with you in this most difficult time. Cherish the memories that you had with your wonderful Son. Take care of each other.
Carl and Debbie Scott
I met Brad during our MEd Counselling Psychology class and have so many fond memories. I remember smiling and laughing and you always made us all feel that bit lighter. I was so excited when I saw you had started working in a private practice as I knew it was what you really wanted and also knew that you would be a compassionate and amazing counsellor. Words cannot express how unjust it feels that you have been taken so soon. I am thinking of your family and friends in this time.
Art and Jan, we just heard of Brad’s passing. I can’t imagine your pain and so sorry that you have to experience this. I pray that God gives you the strength to carry on and hold on to beautiful memories.
Sandy and Roger Combdon

to Brads parents, you guys did such a wonderful job raising him, he changed the way i looked at life, he was there when i needed him and i feel i was there for him when he needed someone, i never mett you but he always talked so highly of you both, he was such a caring young man, his heart was soo big, he really was just a teddy bear of love, he had so much care to give and so much time to listen, there wasnt many people like him. I remember he was always looking for a house but he knew he didnt need a big ol empty place, he liked being close to you guys and it all happened for a reason, you were close when he needed you, everything has a strange way of working out, i dont know why god would do this to you both, your both so kind and loving but there is a reason, there has to be, i always say when i say good bye to a friend too young that people are learning lessons right now because of it, people are loving their families harder tonight, there being more present and active in there own lives, i told Brad i would live a little more for him and i sure will, ill put a little extra sparkle into every day for him, he was such a great man and im so very sorry you had to lose him.
Brad was one of the most honest and genuine guys I’ve met, who would help you out any way he could.
With me living away the last 6 years we didn’t get to spend as much time together but whenever I was home and we got to catch up it was like nothing changed. His humor and jokes always had me in tears.
His passing is not just a blow to those who knew him but to the world that didn’t get a chance to meet such a great person.
Deepest condolences to the Cheeseman family and to his friends. Sending our love from Ottawa.
Please accept my deepest condolences. I met Brad while we were completing our master’s placement at MUN’s Counselling Centre. With his quick wit and infectious laugh, Brad and I became fast friends-and what a friend he was. He would lift your spirits on the toughest of days with a good laugh or a shoulder to lean on. His compassion and capacity to care for others was a gift that he shared with clients and all of his loved ones. Having been on the receiving end of that compassion, there were not many people who could warm your heart like Brad. I’m sending all of that compassion shared with me to his loved ones as they grieve this unimaginable loss.
I am so sorry to hear of Brad’s passing. I have such fond memories of Brad from my time being one of the social workers connected to Waypoints. Brad always had the biggest smile on his face. Such a kind person, with the biggest heart……he made people feel at ease around time. His ability to connect with youth & families was natural……everyone loved & respected him. I was so glad to hear that he crushed his goals and started in private practice. There is no doubt that he touch the lives of so many. I certainly learned from him during our time working together. Thinking of all his family, friends, Waypoints family & his other colleagues.
So sorry to hear of Brad’s passing. What a great guy who was loved by many!
Rest in peace “Cheese” .
Thinking of family and friends at this time of deepest sorrow. I have heard such good things about Brad , I did not get to meet him but have heard wonderful stories of shared fun times. Rest in Peace now and know that you will live on in many peoples shared memories of fun and happy times .
