Brian Douglas Bader

Brian Douglas Bader, 42, of Humboldt, Arizona, passed away April 10, 2020, from complications of a very serious automobile accident. 

Brian was born December 22, 1977 in San Bernardino, California, to Douglas William Bader and Seanna Barbara Sovereign. Brian was baptized at Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church in San Bernardino. 

Brian attended school at Our Lady of Assumption, and Hillside Elementary in San Bernardino. He was a student at Newhart Middle School, and attended Capistrano Valley High School in Mission Viejo, California. 

Brian worked for Crest Chevrolet (the Bader family business), in San Bernardino, California, as a Detail Manager for many years. He loved working with his family. He loved cars, so this was a dream job for him. Brian also loved the beach, and spent many weekends there growing up. He had a smile that would light up a room, as well as an infectious laugh. Brian was a very loving and devoted son and father. His children, Jonathon and Alice, were his pride and joy. 

Brian is survived by his son Jonathon Bader, his daughter Alice Bader, his mother Seanna Pilcher and step-father John Pilcher, his grandmother Barbara Sovereign, his sister Allison Locklin, his brother David Bader, his step-brothers Casey and Clark Pilcher, his uncle and aunt Kevin and Belinda Sovereign, his uncle and aunt Robert and Patricia Bader, his uncle and aunt George and Cheryl Bedford, plus many cousins, nieces and nephews, and his two dogs Gizmo and Spike, and two cats Mr. Fuzzypants and Batman. 

Brian was preceded in death by his beloved father Douglas William Bader. Brian was the light of our life, and will be sorely missed.

A Celebration of Brian’s Life is planned for the near future in Prescott, Arizona.
