Bradley Joe Eller 56, of Portland, Oregon, left this earthly world much too early to be with his Heavenly Father.

Brad is survived by his 2 beloved children who were the apple of his eye and his pride and joy, Alexa Lynn (Aris) and Jackson Jon (Merary), parents Jerry and Bonnie of Gearhart, sister Laurie (Brian) of Gearhart, brother Van (Eva) of Astoria, Leah his fiancé, all his nieces and nephews who adored Uncle Brad and extended family.

Brad’s world revolved around his 2 children, Alexa and Jackson and his love for them was apparent. He took great pride in coaching Alexa’s soccer teams and training with Jackson through the years. He also loved the holidays and loved to decorate for them. He would start early on coordinating with everyone and loved to host. He was the life of any party and loved to include everyone.

Brad’s favorite number was the number 8. He entered this world on the 8th, he left this world on the 8th, his jersey number was 8. 8 is also the infinity symbol which represented his love for his children, family, and friends.

Brad owned Viking Hardwoods and when he wasn’t working, he spent all his free time watching all kinds of sports, but his true passion was for his “Mighty Vikings”. He took every opportunity to watch them play on TV or in person and of course he had ALL the Viking memorabilia that existed and when it didn’t exist, he would have it made. Every year he was sure “this year” was going to be the one where they won the Super Bowl. He cherished his time with his friends playing golf and lots of it! He loved to compete and the many dollar bills they exchanged with names on it showed his competitive nature.

Gone but never forgotten. May he rest in peace.
