Ohm, Brad William of Goderich Ontario, took a peaceful journey to re-unite with his best friend Rolfey, on Tuesday April 19, 2022. In his 69th year at Victoria Hospital in London, Ontario.
Left heartbroken are his life partner of 48 years, Jaye Ohm and his children; Mandy Kuntze (Ryan), Daniel (Christine), Allyson (Tony) and Matthew (Lia). Brads greatest joy in life was being a Poppa to; Ethan (Brianna), Ainsley (Darnell), Ava-Lynn, Cohen, Delanie, Carly, James, Drew, Arran and Campbell.
Born in Stratford Ontario in 1953, Brad was the oldest of four children: Vickie (Bob), Vennetta (Jeff), and Perry (Tanya). The son of Jim and Audrey Ohm, Brad grew up in Milverton where he raised hell with his long hippy hair.
He spent his early career as a Millwright and spent the latter years of his life self employed in the international agriculture supply chain. This took him all over the world and introduced him to cultures and people that became a significant part of his life.
When he wasn’t working, Brad enjoyed watching the Jays and Leafs, always jumping on and off the Toronto bandwagon. He loved cruising down the Goderich harbour in his yellow Jeep TJ, with Jaye in the back and his beloved dog Uilleann riding shotgun.
The family is incredibly grateful for all the care he has received over the past eight years. Special thanks to Dr. Paul Marotta of Liver Care Canada, and the staff at the Critical Care Trauma Centre at Victoria Hospital.
The family will be having a private ceremony to celebrate Brads life. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the London Health Sciences Foundation: Liver Transplant Program.

I’m Brad and Jaye’s hairdresser and Brad would come in and would cause some kind of ruckus. You never knew what he was gonna say next. He always tried to walk out without paying for his beard trim and hair cut.😄
He made me laugh all the time even when he was trying to be serious. He named my new shop..I didn’t go with it ..lol. love you Brad..will miss you like crazy. Love you Jaye…hugs

I was Ann Kelterborn, not sure if you would know my married name. But we used to be friends all those decades ago.
Jaye, I am so sad for you. Brad was a lovely guy. In the photo here, I can tell he was still a great guy, enjoying his life.
It seems from what I have read that Brad and you, Jaye, had a life full of amazing adventures, but also a life filled with kindness and love. I am thinking about that nice kid in school in Milverton, and later, just laughing and getting into mischief. A cheerful, fun, interested and interesting person.
I am so sorry for your loss, Jaye, and your family’s loss.
Jim & Connie Holmes
Our sympathies from Jim and Connie and all your friends at the Newton Ball Park. Thanks for all the great memories!
Todd Stanbury
I am so sorry for your loss. Take care Jaye.
Lorie Howe
My deepest condolences to all of Brad’s family and friends. I was truly honoured to work with Brad for many years in the agricultural feed industry from High River, Alberta. I cherished the times when we could meet in person, share stories, a bevy, and glad I was able to include the best hospitality at Ariel’s B&B in Stratford. Brad’s humor, honest and genuine personality will never be forgotten. Rest in peace Brad, knowing this ‘little shit’ was influenced by your kind soul.

I will always remember Brad’s fun and happy nature. He had a great sense of humour and he had the best laugh! Dad loved hanging out with his buddy, Ohmie on a Saturday afternoon ❤️and did they ever know how to have a good time!!
I know how much Brad loved his family. He always talked about each one of you with such pride and love. I’m thinking of all of you, sending you love, and praying for you all too. I’m so sorry for your loss xoxo

Debra Davidge
Dear Jaye I am very sad to hear tonight that you and your family have lost Brad. We were such a close group in our younger years and we had so many great times. Brad was on a plane with me once when I was returning home to BC and upon learning what a terrified flyer I am he kept me busy and laughing most of the flight. He’s met up with John and Marty and Darcy and Dwight now as well as some others and I’m sure they’re getting up to something.
My heart is heavy for you and your family. Rest in peace my friend.
Alan Arthur
Brad, you are in my thoughts pondering that we are related cousins that were never that close, but close enough to know and have memories from the days when we were so young. I have many cousins that I do not know at all…but I did know you as we played as young boys in the side streets of Milverton and at the family get togethers of our aunts and uncles. I see you now as I did then, as I type these few words of reflection. Pax Vobiscum.
Rosanna Rolfe
Jaye and family

Very sorry to hear of Brads passing. We remember when we were neighbours in Milverton and I think there were a few times that Brad helped me catch my dog. It was so nice to catch up with you on the bus to see the Bat Out Hell play. We will keep him in our prayers.

I just wanted to express my heart felt sympathy to the Ohm family. When I learned of Brad’s passing I was flooded with amazing memories growing up so close to the Ohm’s with Dan as my best buddy.

These memories, plus hundreds more have a special place in my heart. Jaye, Dan, Christine, Mandy, Ally and Matty my thoughts are prayers are with you and your families. Rest in Peace Brad
