He was a regular contributor to this group, and we became Facebook friends some time back. I was shocked to see that his brother posted of his passing - he was only 49 years old.  
Here are two notices from his brother:




Hug those close to you, we never know how much time is left.

Marti: If / when an announcement is posted to Legacy.com, or directly by a "parlor" handling arrangements, kindly pass its link along. (Either usually allows for visitors to post remembrances.) Thanks for any help you can provide.     B

I will miss Brad’s contributions. And I confess I’m now selfishly self conscious because he was roughly my age. 

Prayers for the Beam family.

Tragic. Will definitely miss him here. I have his last post as 11/2, looks like he died 11/9. So young.

My favorite TV quote about death from “Brian’s Song” (and EH): 

“Hemingway said, ‘Every true story ends in death.’ Well, this is a true story.”

Definitely sad news. He taped some Sopranos episodes for me when my regular source dried up. A very nice guy.

I just recently found out a prominent member of alt.fan.letterman from the late 1990s, Monica Bay, also died.

So sorry to hear this, and yes, desperately young. My thoughts to his loved ones.

I am shocked to read of Brad's passing.  He was a longtime fixture here.

Thanks for letting us know.

Marti - Facebook wouldn't let me add you as a friend. The error I got was: 
It looks like you may not know this person. Send requests to people you know personally to see their updates on Facebook.

I'm really upset to hear about Brad's passing. I always enjoyed his contributions.
